The company's midsize truck remains a question mark, but the full-size 1500 now comes at a more affordable price.

Ram has announced the return of the Express version of the 1500 pickup for the 2026 model year, targeting buyers looking for a more affordable option without giving up on style.

But to offer an attractive value proposition, Ram is bringing back the 2026 Ram 1500 Express. With a starting price of $44,495, it's lower than the average new-car price and makes it one of the most affordable Ram 1500 models you can buy.
