2024 RAM 1500 Classic Tradesman

The 2024 Ram 1500 Classic is the value-oriented version of the full-size pickup, offered alongside the newer 1500 and aimed at buyers who want a proven, no-frills workhorse. It competes with other full-size pickups like the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500, but at a lower starting price. The Classic rides like a traditional truck, with a firm feel and a commanding view, and the Hemi V8 delivers strong acceleration when you need it. Inside, the Classic keeps things simple with durable materials and a straightforward layout, and the crew cab offers generous rear-seat space. The Tradesman is the entry-point Classic, giving you the proven 5.7L V8 and four-wheel drive without the chrome or creature comforts of the SLT or Warlock. Its 391 horsepower Hemi V8 pulls hard from a stop, and with four-wheel drive you get real traction off-road or on slick pavement; expect 17 mpg combined doing daily driving. Your Tradesman comes with a Class III hitch and trailer wiring already in place, so hooking up a trailer is straightforward from day one.
