The 2024 RAM 1500 Classic: Timeless Design, Modern Capabilities

Exterior Design

The big draw to the RAM 1500 Classic for many enthusiasts, its exterior styling and features remain largely unchanged from the fourth generation of this enduring truck series. You’ll get the good old halogen headlights that still provide excellent visibility in dark conditions and the distinctive RAM crossbar front grille. Available active grille shutters automatically adjust themselves for optimal engine cooling.

Retro-styled 17-inch steel wheels are standard but can be switched out for 17-inch aluminum wheels in black or 20-inch aluminum wheels in a head-turning chrome finish. A wide selection of paint finishes for the body ranges from classics like Flame Red Clear-Coat and Billet Silver Metallic Clear-Coat to the bold, bright Hills Green and Construction Yellow.

Powertrain

The RAM 1500 Classic’s naturally aspirated 3.6L Pentastar V6 continues to provide impressive power and efficiency years after it was first introduced. At 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque, the motor’s output results in solid acceleration and combines with the truck’s sturdy construction to tow well over 10,000 pounds. That level of performance is more than enough to rival many of the new full-sized pickups hitting the market today.

As if the standard powerplant wasn’t compelling enough, an available 5.7L Hemi V8 gives the RAM 1500 Classic a big boost with its 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. A smooth 8-speed automatic transmission will complete the powertrain, whichever engine you decide to go with. The available TorqueFlite variant of the transmission optimizes the gear shifts for improved torque as driving conditions change.

Interior and Utility

A gracefully maturing interior design and a host of standard and available amenities make the RAM 1500 Classic’s passenger cabin an inviting space. The truck comes in quad cab or crew cab body styles. Either choice is spacious and offers a respective 34.7 and 40.3 inches of rear legroom. The Tradesman model gets air filtration, 4-way adjustability for both front seats, and high-quality cloth upholstery as standard comforts.

Modern driver assists like a post-collision safety system, a ParkView rear back-up camera, and hill start assist with trailer sway control let you travel with confidence. The optional forward collision warning system with automated emergency braking enhances your peace of mind.

Old-school truck fans can rejoice because the RAM 1500 Classic keeps looking good while promising everything you need and nothing you don’t. Head down to Blue Ribbon Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Sallisaw, OK today and take it for test drive!
