2023 Ram 1500 Classic | Find it in Rockland
Discover the classic truck with plenty of features and reliability you can count on. While not as versatile as the non-classic model, the 2023 Ram 1500 Classic is a more budget-friendly option. With plenty of technology and enough power, the vehicle can tow a maximum of 10,610 lb and carry a payload of up to 1,930 lb.
Notable Changes From Last Year
The Classic stopped receiving major changes after 2019, when the new 1500 lineup was released. Instead of stopping production, the Ram 1500 became the Ram 1500 Classic, a more budget-friendly counterpart to the non-classic. Unlock the new model; the regular cab is still an available choice for this truck.
Overall, the changes undergone haven’t added anything new to the truck. However, the SLT trim no longer comes with the option for two-wheel drive. The crew cab option is now limited to one size in higher trim levels.
