Ram 1500 Classic
In April 2024, Ram discontinued production of the 1500 Classic for the Canadian market. However, based on consumer demand, the truck came back in September for the 2024 model year. The aging, yet popular, 1500 Classic remains a cheaper alternative to the newer Ram 1500 launched in 2019. For 2024, consumers have the choice of two trims: Tradesman and Warlock. Both are equiped with a 4WD system and a 5'7'' cargo bed. The 3.6-litre V6 and 5.7-liter HEMI V8 can still be selected, as well as wide variety of packages.
