Over the years, RAM has created several dynamic and unique trims for its light duty, full-size pickup truck, the Ram 1500. It only makes sense, seeing as the profile of a truck driver has rapidly evolved and expanded. While we appreciate the versatility of the models found in this truck lineup, we also know that some traditionalists miss the stripped down, hard-working roots of the earlier Ram 1500 models. We have a solution for those drivers: the Ram 1500 Classic. If you are looking for a Ram 1500 for sale near Lawrenceburg, and you are after a wallet-friendly, simple but sturdy work truck, we would love to show you the Ram 1500 Classic. For those who know of it, it has something of a cult following. It’s been around since 2009 and you will quickly see why. It offers a little something different than the other Ram 1500 models and we think drivers in this corner of Kentucky will really appreciate it. The Ram 1500 Classic Keeps Engine Options Simple The regular Ram 1500 has three engines including two V8s and a V6. The Ram 1500 Classic sticks to the basics with just one V6 engine and one V8 engine, so drivers have two clear choices: opt for the more fuel-efficient V6 if you regularly commute to nearby Lexington or make the further drive to Louisville to enjoy big city life, or get the V8 if you need maximum towing and payload power out of your pickup. When people ask us which powertrain is best for them, we say, if you were looking for a vehicle that will mostly move large equipment across job sites, stick to the V8. If you were looking for a daily driver and commuter, stick to the V6. Taking Trims Down a Notch (Or Six) Now we will go over the trims. The regular Ram 1500 has eight trims, boasting all sorts of personalities from an off-road variant to a luxury variant to even a western themed one. The Ram 1500 Classic keeps it, well, classic. There are only two trims for this model: The Tradesman and the Warlock. You will likely notice that the regular Ram 1500 also has a Tradesman. However, the Warlock trim is exclusive to the Ram 1500 Classic and it is a very special trim. The Warlock trim is designed to turn heads and is distinctly more rugged and aggressive looking than any other Ram 1500 truck. It has Ram lettering across the grille that’s exclusive to this model, 20-inch wheels with a high-gloss, black aluminum finish and white lettering, holding beefy all-season tires. These tires will get you the traction you need during the rainy and sunny months in Kentucky. Additional style features of the Warlock include black powder coated front and rear bumpers and LED fog lamps, which look striking and also have a terrific function. The Tradesman of the Ram 1500 Classic gets you heavy-duty vinyl bench seating, so if your coworkers, kids or four-legged friends are rough on your truck, the long lasting, hard wearing upholstery of the Tradesman seats can handle it. Additionally, it has heavy-duty front and rear shock absorbers, offering a smoother ride when you leave the paved roads for bumpy country ones on the outskirts of Lawrenceburg. The Ram 1500 Classic Tradesman also looks distinctly more rugged than the regular Ram 1500 Tradesman. It has a more pronounced front bumper, a more distinct grille and a raised hood that clearly make it a nod to Ram’s rugged and hard-working roots. Both of these models get under seat storage. So when you stop by Four Roses or Woodford Reserve distillery and want to bring home a case or two of bottles, you can get these under your seats, rather than leaving them exposed in the truck bed. Additionally, you’ll find more physical knobs and buttons in the Classic, which differ from the very modern touch screens of the Ram 1500. Some drivers like this more “old-school” functionality. Let’s Talk Pricing So what about price? Whether you need to save some extra dollars to spend at the Lawrenceburg Walmart Supercenter or want to buy a membership to the nearby Lexington country club, you can put a little extra cash in your pocket when you buy the Ram 1500 Classic as compared to a traditional Ram 1500. The starting MSRP for the starting trim is lower for the Ram 1500 Classic compared to regular Ram 1500 models. The range of prices, from bottom to top, is also much smaller for the Ram 1500 Classic compared to the Ram 1500. Newer Ram 1500 models can reach figures in the $60,000-range and even exceed $90,000. The Ram 1500 Classic price range sits well over $20,000 below that, with a starting MSRP of $38,905, making it the obvious choice for drivers working on financial goals. Other Configurations to Choose From Both models are available in either 4x4 or rear wheel drive options. So consider the environments you regularly travel and ask yourself what sort of traction you need. On the cab front, either one is available in the crew cab or the quad cab, so you can opt for seating for five or six. As for boxes, the crew cab will be equipped with a 5‘7“ box and the quad cab will be equipped with a 6‘4“ box. Some of the regular Ram 1500 trims only come in a 4x4 or a 4x2 model. We appreciate that both of the Ram 1500 Classic models are available in either configuration, so no matter what features you prefer, you can have the traction or fuel economy that you need.
