2021 Ram 1500 Classic at Finch Chrysler in London, Ontario
If you drive a pickup truck, odds are you don’t mind rolling up your sleeves and fixing things. However, we can’t forget about that old classic bit of wisdom: if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. While that can apply to many things, it most certainly applies to the 2021 Ram 1500 Classic. A thoroughly modern pickup with exceptional capability, the Ram Classic offers its own unique spin on the modern Ram truck with a timeless design sensibility.

Design
The 2021 Ram 1500 Classic is built to last, inside and out, making the “Classic” portion of its name well-earned. Find exceptional comfort in the rugged interior of the 1500 Classic, with air conditioning and power windows coming standard—or upgrade to the available Dual-Zone Temperature Control system. A 12-volt power outlet and USB port also comes standard, while heated seats and a heated steering wheel are a few more options that create a more inviting atmosphere inside the 1500 Classic. A class-exclusive rotary dial e-shifter provides exceptional convenience, and matches up to the 1500 Classic’s standard—and incredibly efficient—8-speed automatic transmission.
The exterior of the 2021 Ram 1500 Classic blends the old with the new, offering heritage pickup styling along with more modern details. Once you’ve got the distinctive crosshair grille in your sights, there’s no question you’re looking at a Ram truck—with special “Classic” badging lending an air of authority to this timeless pickup. Of course, it’s not all about looks, which is where utility-packed features like the available LED lighting on the sides of the cargo bed provide exceptional lighting when you’re loading up your Ram 1500 Classic in the dark.
Performance
The 2021 Ram 1500 Classic offers up the kind of hard-working capability so synonymous with Ram trucks, starting with a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine producing 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. An upgrade to the 5.7-litre HEMI VVT V8 engine boosts the 1500 Classic’s output to 395 horses and 410 lb-ft of torque—allowing this tough Ram truck to tow up to 10,610 lb, along with a max payload of up to 1,930 lb. That’s all thanks to the four- or seven-pin wiring harness found standard on the Ram 1500 Classic, while the available towing package adds an integrated Class IV hitch receiver along with the advanced Trailer Brake Control System. A class-exclusive multilink rear suspension skips the traditional leaf-spring suspension found on other trucks, proving a ride that’s stiffer, more comfortable, more durable, and more controlled. Add in the available part-time four-wheel-drive system, and the 2021 Ram 1500 Classic offers a smooth and efficient drive no matter the terrain.
