2019 Ram 1500 vs Ram 1500 Classic

What’s New on the 2019 Ram 1500 vs the Classic?

The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic has a significantly lower starting price than the all-new Ram 1500, but also prioritizes practicality over comfort. The Classic starts with a three-row, two-door Regular Cab body style, while the all-new Ram 1500 moves immediately to the four-door, two-row Quad Cab. These models have similar starting engines (though the new Ram 1500 will get better city fuel economy thanks to eTorque hybridization) and they are both available with a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, though again the all-new model offers hybridized fuel savings. The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic will also offer the 3.0-liter V-6 EcoDiesel later in the model  year. We are not sure at this time if this powertrain will be available on the all-new 2019 Ram 1500.

While the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic offers plenty of capability for the needs of commercial drivers and shoppers, there are advantages to the all-new 2019 Ram 1500. This model comes standard with the Uconnect infotainment system with a 5-inch display, hands-free calling, a year of complimentary SiriusXM radio, and multiple USB and power outlets. When properly equipped, the new model can tow up to 12,750 pounds (compared to approximately 10,620 pounds on the Classic variation).

Is the all-new or Classic 2019 Ram 1500 better for you?. The answer to that may come down to your individual needs as a truck shopper.
