The Three Trim Levels of the Ram 1500 Classic

 

Which Ram 1500 Classic is the best fit for you?

Although Ram trucks may have spun off on their own from Dodge over a decade ago, the automaker still sells one of its earlier pickup trucks that debuted back in 2009: the Ram 1500. Since its split from Dodge, it has continued to sell its 1500 models alongside its newest and latest additions as a cheaper and less complex alternative which has been deemed the Classic.

The Ram 1500 Classic may not be as refined, luxurious, or tech-forward as some of its successors but it does offer some aspects of a new truck's swagger for a lesser price point. It also comes in body styles that aren't offered on any of the newer models.  

Available in three trim levels, the Ram 1500 Classic is a timeless member of Ram's truck lineup and remains one of their best-selling units to this day.

Have you been thinking about purchasing a new Ram Truck? We've outlined each Ram 1500 Classic Trim to help you decide which one may be the best fit for you.
