Sad times we live in, a truck that was replaced 6 years ago is finally stopping production. Maybe, probably. Farewell Classic!

It was always an odd decision to not make a DT Tradesman, there was no entry model other than the DS Classic until this year

Dorky nerd fact, the taillight shape, size, and housing has been the same since 2009, mainly because the HDs have been the same, even on the 5th gens. But because of this, I can spot a ram from a mile away. I think this continuity helps.

I like that. It is the official size!
At the risk of looking stupid, what are the HDs? |

And ironically DOT calls it regular (weak) duty, mostly. You can up them to medium but generally that's 4500/450s that are medium duty. But they're mostly a slightly inflated copy of the 2500/3500 series

He's correct about the above 3500 kilos loaded limit. This means that many ambulances, fire or safety vans are well above the said limit… The way the EV's market goes, including big sedans, they could well sale a lot of licences in a near future!

JHammy can probably address it more being commercial construction guy but residential multifamily structures are now concerned about needing to over build parking decks now with expected electric car load and required charging offering. I didn't realize how insanely heavy some of them really are

Yes they are! In my area some new electric stations are very noisy too.

Both new and old at the same time the Classic bows out. This is a little history of how it came to be.

I was in my "library" reading Car and Driver this evening and I came upon the first review of the "new" Ram with the High Output Hurricane I-6. They tested a Limited 4x4 that had a curb weight of 5967 lbs. It's 0-60mph time was 4.2 seconds and the quarter mile was 12.8 at 106mph. Holy crap. There is no reason for a half ton to be that quick!
On the other side of things, the as tested MSRP is $89,295. That's not even the most expensive trim level as the Tungsten 4x4 starts at $92k. It has a suede headliner. What is going on?? |
