The Ram 1500 is perhaps the best example of the pickup truck segment moving steadily upmarket. The 2013 model can be optioned with Nappa leather, a navigation system, an air suspension, and even real wood interior trim, the sort of goodies previously reserved for luxury cars. While plenty of buyers lust after all those luxury features, we remain adamant that there is no greater need than a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, and back in 2011, Ram introduced just the truck to prove our point. The Ram Express is an affordable, go-fast hotrod among workhorse trucks.
