Key Differences Between the RAM 1500 and RAM 1500 Classic

For those in the market for a dependable truck, RAM presents two compelling options: the 2025 RAM 1500 and the 2024 RAM 1500 Classic. Let’s delve into the key distinctions and why they matter, ensuring you have all the information you need.

Why Does RAM have the 1500 and the 1500 Classic?

Before diving into their disparities, let’s revisit their beginnings. Ram Trucks introduced the RAM 1500 Classic back in 2018, concurrently with the fifth-generation 2019 RAM 1500. While the 2019 RAM 1500 marked a fresh start, the RAM 1500 Classic upheld the robust capabilities of the fourth-generation RAM 1500. It was tailored to those who sought an economical work truck without compromising on quality. In essence, the RAM 1500 Classic embodies the fourth-generation RAM 1500, while the RAM 1500 represents the latest fifth-generation model.

Spotting the Variations

One conspicuous way to distinguish between these two models is by observing the grille. The RAM 1500 Classic still proudly bears the older Ram logo on the grille, save for the top-tier Warlock trim introduced in recent years. Conversely, the standard RAM 1500 has sported the RAM name badge since 2019. Other differences, though minor, predominantly revolve around technology.
