2019 Ram 1500 Classic
2019 Ram 1500 Classic
The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic is the last remaining holdout from a generation of full-size trucks known for their capable performance and best-in-class refinement.
What is the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic?
The Classic is a continuation of the previous fourth-generation Ram 1500. It's currently on sale alongside the redesigned 2019 Ram 1500, so make sure you don't confuse the two.
Basically, there's so much to like about the previous generations of trucks that Ram couldn't stop making them. It's got the same best-in-class ride comfort and interior comfort for which this generation is known. The Classic is also supremely capable, making a great choice for anyone with major workloads to move.
Which of the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic trim levels should I choose?
Compared to other fourth-generation Rams, the Classic features a shortened trim lineup. There's still a lot to like, of course. If you're looking for an upscale take on a capable work truck, check out the Tradesman and Express trims. If you prefer a cushy ride with all the trimmings, you can find that, too, with the SLT and Big Horn (known as the Lone Star in Texas) trims.
What the Tradesman lacks in luxury it makes up for in muscle. This full-size truck is ready for action with a Class IV hitch receiver and spray-in bedliner. It's got the comfort basics down, too, with air conditioning and USB ports to connect to the six-speaker audio system. The Express adds to your workday with more standard equipment and some modern extras, like interior carpeting and 20-inch wheels. Instead of the Tradesman's black trim, the Express features body-colored exterior trim.
The SLT is increasingly high-tech, with a 5-inch touchscreen display to access infotainment options and a longer list of standard creature comforts. The top-of-the-line Big Horn has major appeal. It raises the comfort quotient with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and upgraded cloth upholstery. But it's also got the Uconnect infotainment system and all that it entails, like an 8.4-inch touchscreen and complete smartphone integration (via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities). In this truck, you can use your smartphone without ever looking at it.
Unsurprisingly for anyone familiar with the brand, the Ram 1500 Classic is highly configurable. Choose from three cabins and three bed sizes for the truck that works for your daily drive.
What's the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic towing capacity?
With the proper equipment, the Ram 1500 Classic can tow max loads of 10,710 pounds. That puts it in the realm of extremely capable. If you've got farming machinery or a ginormous boat to move around town, the Ram 1500 Classic is at your service.
How does the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic compare to the redesigned truck?
The Classic is an undeniably capable and comfort-inducing truck. And the redesigned Ram 1500 takes all of these tasty ingredients and adds some serious frosting, with greater towing and hauling capabilities, longer features lineups, and more high-tech driver safety aids.
So, why would you choose the Ram 1500 Classic over the redesigned truck? Well, for starters, there's still a lot to like Classic. Even compared to redesigned competitors, it offers best-in-class ride comfort and handling - something it shares with the new Ram 1500. And, though the Classic is a bit paired-down in terms of features, it gives budget-savvy drivers a great deal on a full-size truck known for its interior refinement and strong performance.
