2014 Ram 1500 Express

The 2014 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Express Pickup 4D 5 1/2 ft stands as an exceptionally fast, street-styled benchmark in the full-size truck segment, offering a performance-oriented, value-packed tier for the fourth-generation Ram platform. Built on a fully boxed high-strength steel frame with a class-exclusive coil-spring rear suspension setup, this four-door sport truck discards rough, bouncy leaf-spring rides in favor of smooth highway tracking, aggressive acceleration, and daily work utility.
Under the sculpted aluminum hood, the 2014 Express comes standard with FCA’s legendary naturally aspirated 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine with Fuel Saver Technology (cylinder deactivation). This high-output mechanical core hammers out a commanding 395 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 410 lb-ft of torque at 3,950 RPM (or an available 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine). Power is managed by a heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission or an available TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission featuring a rotary dial gear shifter. Drive torque is routed to the rear wheels via Rear-Wheel Drive (2WD) or through an available 4x4 part-time transfer case system, paired with an available anti-spin rear differential. Supported by a sport-tuned chassis setup, the 5.7L HEMI Ram 1500 Express launches from 0 to 60 MPH in just 6.7 seconds.
On the exterior, the Express trim executes a sleek, color-matched monochromatic appearance defined by its body-color front fascia, body-color rear bumper, and body-color grille surround with black mesh inserts. Functional exterior features include automatic quad-halogen headlights, fog lamps, deep-tinted rear privacy glass, dual chrome-tipped exhaust outlets, power-adjustable heated side mirrors, keyless entry, and a 5.5-foot short cargo bed equipped with cargo tie-down loops. The truck achieves an athletic, grounded stance rolling proudly on 20-inch aluminum alloy wheelswrapped in all-season performance tires.
Inside, the spacious Crew Cab welcomes up to six occupants into a durable, functional interior featuring dark interior accents and heavy-duty 40/20/40 split-bench front seating draped in heavy-duty vinyl or durable cloth upholstery. Interior amenities include manual air conditioning, a tilt steering column with cruise control, power windows with one-touch driver express-down, power door locks, a full overhead console, 12-volt power outlets, and easy-to-clean carpeted or vinyl floor covering. Digital connectivity centers around the Uconnect® 3.0 audio system (or available Uconnect® 5.0 with a 5.0-inch touchscreen display), featuring Bluetooth® hands-free phone integration and audio streaming, SiriusXM® satellite radio capability, USB media port, auxiliary input jack, and a 6-speaker sound system.
Practicality and cargo utility remain exceptional thanks to the full four-door Crew Cab layout, treating rear passengers to expansive legroom alongside 60/40 split-folding rear bench seats that flip up to reveal under-seat storage bins and a flat load floor. The 5.5-foot bed provides 50.3 cubic feet of cargo volume, supporting a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,500 lbs and a maximum conventional towing capacity of up to 10,350 lbs when properly equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8, 3.92 axle ratio, and factory trailer tow package.
Backed by a 26.0-gallon fuel tank (or available 32.0-gallon extended-range tank) to support long-distance travel, the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine achieves an EPA-estimated 15 MPG city and 22 MPG highway with the 8-speed automatic transmission (14/20 MPG with the 6-speed automatic). Safety is top-tier, securing an NHTSA 4-Star Overall Safety Rating utilizing a high-strength steel safety cell structure. The truck comes factory-equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Trailer Sway Control, Hill Start Assist, 4-wheel Anti-lock Disc Brakes (ABS) with Ready Alert Braking, a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), available ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera, and an advanced multi-stage airbag p
