Used 2018 Ram 1500 Express

* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The 2018 Ram 1500 generally has average reliability. While the Hemi V8 is a proven engine, some owners report minor electrical issues or concerns with certain components over time. Regular maintenance is key to keeping it running smoothly.
• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Maintenance costs are typical for a full-size pickup truck. Parts are readily available, and many independent shops are familiar with Ram trucks. Fuel economy, especially with the V8, can be a significant ongoing cost, and larger tires/brakes can add to service expenses.
• Technology (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  As an 'Express' trim, technology is somewhat basic but functional. It typically includes a Uconnect infotainment system, though often the smaller screen without advanced features like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as standard. Bluetooth connectivity and a backup camera are usually present, covering the essentials.
• Comfort (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The cabin is spacious, especially in Quad Cab and Crew Cab configurations. Seats are generally comfortable, even on longer drives, and the ride quality is a standout for the class. Road and wind noise are well-managed, contributing to a pleasant interior environment.
• Dynamics (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  For a full-size truck, the 2018 Ram 1500 Express offers surprisingly refined road manners. The coil-spring rear suspension provides a smoother ride than many leaf-spring competitors, and the steering is reasonably precise. It handles daily driving and light hauling with confidence, though it's still a large vehicle.
