2020 Ram 1500 cockpitRAM 1500 Classic Difference

The RAM 1500 Classic is a continuation of the prior generation of RAM 1500 trucks. So, if you prefer the look of the older 2017-2018 RAM trucks, then the RAM 1500 Classic is for you. It is also a relatively stripped-down version of the RAM 1500 lineup, with a smaller standard cab, fewer bells and whistles, and a lower price tag. However, it does not skimp out on performance. It has access to the same 395-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 HEMI and 305-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engines as the 2020 RAM 1500. Anyone looking to get a new, no-frills work truck at the lowest price possible should seriously consider the 2020 RAM 1500 Classic.

RAM 1500 Classic Capabilities

The 2020 RAM 1500 Classic might be based off the last generation, but it can hold its own against the new blood. The 1500 Classic has a max towing capacity of 10,680 lbs with the 5.7-liter HEMI under the hood. Similarly, if you’re looking to take your ATV out or bring home a pallet of shingles for that roofing project, you’ll have no problems. The 1500 Classic has a max payload of 1,800 lbs, so load it up.
