RAM 1500 Classic 2021

The 2021 RAM 1500 Classic rides the DS-generation platform — the same architecture underpinning RAM trucks since 2009 — deliberately kept in production alongside the newer DT-chassis 1500 to serve fleet buyers and price-conscious retail customers. The standard engine is the 3.6L Pentastar V6 producing 305 hp paired with an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic; the 5.7L HEMI V8 with 395 hp is optional on higher trims. Canadian fleet operators running municipal and resource-sector work favour the Classic for its simplified fleet-spec wiring harness and lower upfront cost versus the DT. The HEMI's multi-displacement system, which deactivates four cylinders at highway speeds, occasionally causes a vibration on cold starts in Alberta winters — a known behaviour, not a fault. Coil-spring rear suspension, absent on the Classic (it retains leaf springs), means a stiffer ride but greater payload consistency for commercial users.
