What does the 2024 RAM 1500 Classic have to offer?
In January, Stellantis confirmed that the RAM 1500 Classic would be back for 2024, though it could very well be the last year that it is commercialized in its current form. In fact, there are big changes on the agenda for the 2025 model-year of the RAM, as the model will be redesigned.
Available information regarding the 2024 version of the RAM 1500 Classic is still sparse; we do not know its base price nor if the trims offered this year will be the same as those that were available for 2023.
For informational purposes, the 2023 RAM 1500 Classic comes in the following trims, at the suggested prices below:
- Tradesman: $ 40,769
- SLT: $ 45,834
- Express: $ 47,689
- Night Edition: $ 49,721
- Warlock: $ 51,880
Moreover, you will have the choice between a Regular Cab, a Quad Cab and a Team Cab, along with a 5-foot 7-inch, 6-foot 4-inch or 8-foot bed.
You will have to wait a few more weeks to find out if the Dodge RAM 1500 Classic will be offering the same specs for 2024 and to know if some trims will be added or removed from the catalog.
However, given that this model dates back to 2009 ‒ 16 years already! – and that it has been offered alongside the newest generation of RAM 1500 trucks since 2019, the changes brought to the model ‒ if any – should be small.
Under the Hood of the 2024 Ram 1500 Classic
When it comes to the powertrain, nothing seems to indicate that the RAM 1500 Classic will be receiving a new engine; rather, all seems to point to the 3.6-Liter Pentastar V6 with 305 horsepower or the 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 with 395 horsepower, depending on the selected options. No matter which powertrain under the hood, you will still have access to an 8-speed automatic transmission, along with a 4x2 or a 4x4 drivetrain.
The RAM 1500 Classic can welcome between 3 and 6 passengers, depending on the type of cab with which it is equipped. There are three cab options available: the Regular Cab, the Team Cab and the Quad Cab, which are coupled with a 5′ 7″, 6′ 4″ or 8′ bed. But as mentioned above, we still do not know, to date, if these configurations will be back for 2024.
When it comes to the towing capacity, it is established at a maximum of 10,610 pounds, depending on the selected trim, and a maximum payload capacity of 1,930 pounds.
No matter if you need to tow your trailer, your boat or carry all of your work gear, you can depend on the RAM 1500 Classic for all of your needs and projects.
