Engine Specs and Towing Capacity
As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The 2023 Ram 1500 Classic features a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine that delivers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, and gives the option to upgrade to an available HEMI 5.7-liter V8 that produces 359 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. These engines work so well, they have carried over to the 2024 model year. All engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive is standard across all the trims, and four-wheel drive is optional. Towing capacity for the 2023 Ram 1500 Classic also mirrors that of the 2024 Ram 1500 Classic at a max of 10,620 pounds, and payload capacity follows at 1,810 pounds. Because of the wide variety of configurations, the two engine options, and axle choices, mpg ratings will vary between 15/17 mpg city and 20/25 mpg highway for both model years.
Interior
The interior cabin is one area where customers will take notice of differences between the 2023 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2024 Ram 1500 Classic. The 2023 model offers three cab configurations, including the Regular Cab two-door bodystyle which seats three, the Quad Cab four-door, and the Crew Cab four-door, both of which seat up to six. A 40/20/40-split bench is standard, while heated front bucket seats and a heated steering wheel are optional upgrades. Offering a no-frills design style, the interior cabin of the 2023 Ram 1500 Classic is comfortable and classic, and has everything you need for a nice drive, including an infotainment system that features Apple CarPlay and HD Radio, two USB ports, and available dual-zone climate control.
The 2024 Ram 1500 Classic is only offered in two cab sizes, Quad and Crew, as the two-door regular cab model has been discontinued. This also means the eight-food bed option is no longer available. Still maintaining a comfortable and fresh aesthetic, the interior of the 2024 Ram 1500 Classic offers sturdy materials and a clean dash layout. The same infotainment system is available, as well as a good-quality sound system, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Trim Options
Two trim levels are available for the 2024 Ram Classic 1500, two less than the 2023 model year. Both trims can be optioned with the Quad or Crew Cab, and either a 6'4" bed or a 5'7" bed. We will describe them below
