I have to tell you about a new line of trucks we have starting in 2012! The Express truck made its debut in 2011 with a big bang! The value of the HEMI powered regular cabs made a serious impact. Thats why this year RAM has extended the Express packages into Quad and Crew cabs!
Check this out. Starting out at $28,050 You have a Quad Cab truck, with the 5.7L HEMI V8 with 390hp and 410 ft/lbs of torque. 6 speed auto, 20" Wheels, Dual Exhaust, Fog Lamps, the works. One mean truck. MAx towing of 10,450 lbs. This thing is a beast!
Just for comparison purposes, take a look at what the "competition" offers. Ford offers an extended cab option, the closest thing to the Quad Cab. However, the standard engine in the truck is a 3.7L V6 that eeks out 302 hp and 278 ft/lbs of torque. The optional V8 brings those numbers to 360 hp and 380 ft/lbs of torque. Better, but still no HEMI. All in all if you want the tiny little engine, your starting price is still 30,280! Plus another $1000 if you want the V8 that still falls short bringing it to $31,280. Here's the page from Ford:
Now Chevy's closest truck is their extended cab LS, still no quad cab, and other things like a 3 month satellite radio compared to our year, but thats neither here nor there. I'm talking the king P's right now: POWERTRAIN and PRICE! And for those, Chevy's way off. Their standard 4.8L V8 is way under the HEMI's 390hp/410ftlb numbers. All they manage is 302 hp and 305 ft/lbs of torque. Not impressive.... They seem to be awfully proud of it though, and have put a starting price of $30,745. Ouch. From Chevy:
I guess sometimes you have to pay more for an inferior product. Or you could just get a RAM. My number is 830-303-3005 when you decide to get yours. Express trucks are on the lot!
