Exterior and Interior
The 2024 Ram 1500 Classic should follow its 2023 predecessor with its exterior design. With the new 1500 Classic, you could choose between the Tradesman or Warlock trims. The Tradesman comes with a regular cab and 8-foot bed while the Warlock comes with a quad cab and a 6.4-foot bed.
Regardless of which trim you decide to choose, you should find a bold front grille proudly displaying the Ram logo to its muscular contours that exude strength and power. This truck’s large, aggressive body should also come with power trailer-tow mirrors, LED fog lights, LED bed lights, Mopar bed liner, and other features that bring the Classic’s design into the modern era.
Inside the new 1500 Classic cabin, you should expect an interior focused on utility. The new Ram should come with a full-length console, dual glove box compartments, under-seat storage (Crew Cab), bin storage (Crew Cab), and automatic climate control. You should also have comfortable seats made from quality cloth or vinyl meant for a hard day’s work or a casual cruise on the road.
As for technology, the 1500 Classic should come with a 7.0-inch digital cluster display with an 8.4-inch touchscreen controlled by Uconnect 4C NAV software. With this display, touchscreen, and software, you should get Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot for your convenience. However, some of these features could be improved on with the new model.
As for safety, the new 1500 Classic should come with a back-up camera, blind-spot monitoring, automatic headlights, rear-cross traffic warning, and adaptive cruise control. These features should allow you to have a comfortable and safe drive wherever you go.
