The Ram 1500 Express Is Back, and It's Surprisingly Cheap

When Ram launched the updated 1500 for the 2025 model year, things didn't go according to plan. Lower-spec trims were hard to come by, leaving buyers to choose between $70,000 trucks or something on the used market. As a result, Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis said the company got its ass…
