Price $38,240 – $57,535
Fuel consumption 9.6 – 16.2 L/100km

Since the Ram 1500 Classic still accounts for more than 40 percent of total Ram truck sales in Canada (including Ram HD models), and a similar proportion in the U.S., the company wisely chose to extend its life. How much longer, though? We don’t know. Cheaper than the latest-generation Ram, this pickup can be specified with either the 3.6-litre V6 or the 5.7-litre HEMI V8. Want more luxury? Consider the Night Edition or Warlock.
