The automobile market is always evolving, and particularly the truck market, but some things never change. The 2023 RAM 1500 Classic, a blend of the RAM legacy and modern tech, proves itself once again the truck to beat, offering unmatched value for money. And this isn’t just about affordability, either. It’s about the consistent, trusted capability that the Classic offers.
Power and Capability
In the power department, the available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine steals the show with an impressive 395 horsepower. It boasts an impressive payload capacity, too, reaching a peak of 1,810 pounds when combined with the aforementioned HEMI® engine. The truck also has the option of a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine, integrating Variable Valve Timing and an advanced Thermal Management System. This engineering feat ensures an impeccable balance of power, performance, and efficiency, with horsepower of 305 and torque measuring 269 lb-ft and an estimated 25 highway mpg.
And since safety and stability are important in a work truck, the 1500 Classic incorporates Electronic Stability Control and Electronic Roll Mitigation. Whether you’re navigating sharp turns or facing unexpected road challenges, these features work in tandem, adjusting brakes and engine power, to ensure the drive is smooth.
Performance Extras
Incorporating some advanced engineering into a classic work truck, the RAM 1500 now features active grille shutters. These shutters smartly adapt in real-time to various driving conditions, optimizing engine cooling while reducing aerodynamic drag.
Durability is further enhanced by the way RAM have replaced some heavier steel components with down-gauged steel wherever feasible, and a five-link coil rear suspension ensures a seamless ride.
Warranty and Peace of Mind
You can tell the confidence RAM have in this vehicle by the robust warranty they’re offering, including a 5-year/100,000-mile rust-through limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile gas powertrain limited warranty. There’s also a 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance warranty that gives you peace of mind if anything unexpected comes up.
Inside
This pickup truck is available in two trims, both boasting superior materials, distinct accents, and practical storage solutions. The WARLOCK trim features the plush black premium cloth interior, while the TRADESMAN trim offers diverse choices like the black and diesel gray heavy-duty Bristol vinyl, or the black soul and gear cloth.
For tech enthusiasts, there’s plenty to adore, too. A Uconnect touchscreen displays an array of options, and the truck’s automatic climate control seamlessly adjusts the internal atmosphere based on external conditions. Charging needs are well catered to, with power outlets and USB ports conveniently placed.
The 1500 Classic is a blend of tradition and modernity and worthy of the RAM legacy. To see one in person, come visit us at Blue Ribbon Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM today.
