Ram Trucks New Zealand has announced pricing for the new 1500 Express Black Edition.<\/p>\n

Starting from $124,990, this model now represents the entry point to Ram Trucks\u2019 local line-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s powered by the 3.0-litre twin-turbo \u201cHurricane\u201d engine which produces 313kW and 635Nm of torque.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a part-time four-wheel drive system as standard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ram notes that while this engine features a smaller displacement than the Hemi V8, it makes more power and torque.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Standard equipment includes the Mopar sports performance hood, side steps, black mirror caps, black door handles, black badging, black grille, black headlights and black 20-inch wheels.<\/p>\n

\u201cRam has always been about strength and attitude, and the Express Black Edition takes that even further,\u201d Said Todd Groves, General Sales Manager of Ram Trucks NZ.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing this model to New Zealand for the first time, at this exceptional price point, along with RAM\u2019s outstanding towing capacity of up to 4500kgs, is a milestone for us, and we can\u2019t wait to see it on Kiwi roads.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
