Inside the cabin, you'll find cloth bench seats with carpet floors and floor mats.

The numbers are similar for the Ram 1500, which starts at $41,575 for the Tradesman and $43,995 for the Express. The Black Express package only costs $995 more.

Positioned between the basic work trucks and the higher-end trims, the Black Express offers stylish, tough-looking upgrades without the added costs of premium off-road gear or luxury features.

How To Order or Add the Black Express Package
It's easier than ever to get your hands on a new Black Express Ram. Both packages are built on the base Tradesman model, which can be ordered through any authorized Ram dealer in the area. Select the Black Express package when creating your truck. Also, be sure to ask which configurations are compatible with the package and what additional options you can add to it. Once ordered, expect several weeks before your truck enters the production line. Therefore, don't wait until the last minute if you need it by a specific date.
Ram builds these trucks in different locations. The 2500 models originate from their Saltillo plant in Mexico, while the 1500 Express trucks roll off the line at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan. When you're ready to place an order or have questions about our available products, please don't hesitate to contact our team.
