Introducing the 2013 Ram 1500 Black Express

Ram just announced the arrival of the new “Black Express” model for 2013, which they are calling the “‘baddest-looking’ factory-built truck on the market.” Pretty much everything on this bad boy is black, from the 20 inch wheels to the black front fascia and black grille surround with black hex-link inserts, all the way to the black rear bumper. All body-side badging has been removed for a clean, menacing look. The Black Express is powered by a 5.7-liter Hemi producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque. Pricing starts at $26,955, plus the usual $1,095 destination charge. One more pic after the jump, plus the full press release from Ram.

Reader’s Rides: Joshua Hannah’s 2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7

Here’s our second reader’s ride, from Joshua Hannah of Arkansas.

This is my work in progress daily driver. I drive the piss out of this truck. I have done several visual, performance and weight saving mods. I have a long list of plans for the truck. I’m pretty much done in the looks department. On the interior I am going to have all door panels, trim and dash fabricated out of aluminum. The floor will be and top of the cab will be painted. Performance wise I want to put a fuel cell in the bed, put in a four link rear suspension/upgrade the front suspension and build a fresh motor. It may take me a few more years, but I love this truck!
