RAM 1500 Classic Express V8 Quad 6pi 4po | Sub Zero+Convenience |2021 RAM 1500 Classic Express Quad Cab 4X4 - 5.7L HEMI, Sub Zero Package and Lifetime MOPAR Rust Protection
A well-equipped, recent-enough RAM 1500 with the early break-in already done - that's what this Classic Express brings to the table. With 63,650 km on the odometer, its 5.7L HEMI V8 and 8-speed TorqueFlite transmission have settled in nicely without using up their long-term potential. The truck also carries an active MOPAR rust protection treatment with a lifetime warranty, a tangible asset for Quebec's winters and long-term ownership. Add in the Sub Zero package, the 8.4-inch Uconnect display and the Express Black Accents styling, and you get a used pickup that holds its own against a comparable new one on equipment and value.
Performance and Driving
Under the hood, the 5.7L HEMI VVT V8 with FuelSaver MDS is a known quantity in the RAM lineup, recognized for its honest power delivery and unmistakable exhaust note. Paired with the 8-speed TorqueFlite, shifts are smooth whether the truck is loaded or running empty. The 4x4 driveline and the rear anti-spin differential add traction in the kind of conditions Quebec drivers know well. The 3.21 axle ratio leans toward highway fuel economy, a sensible balance for a truck that splits its time between work and daily driving.
Work Capability
This unit is set up for a tow rating of 8,160 lbs and a payload of 1,520 lbs. The Class IV hitch receiver is already in place, the anti-spin rear differential takes care of traction, and the spray-in bedliner protects the cargo box day in and day out. That's enough capacity for a utility trailer of building materials, a light to mid-size travel trailer or regular jobsite loads.
Standout Equipment on This Unit
The Sub Zero package brings heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 10-way power driver's seat, remote start and a security alarm - a welcome combination once the temperature drops. The Electronics Convenience group adds dual-zone automatic climate control and the 8.4-inch Uconnect 4C touchscreen. The Express Black Accents styling rounds things out with 20-inch semi-gloss black aluminum wheels, a body-colour grille with the black RAM's head and black headlamp bezels. Out back, LED bed lighting, the spray-in bedliner and the Sport performance hood are already installed.
Technology and Connectivity
The 8.4-inch Uconnect 4C touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with SiriusXM satellite radio available with a subscription. The instrument cluster includes a 7-inch colour display, and dual-zone automatic climate control lets each front occupant manage their own side. The ParkView rear back-up camera, hands-free Bluetooth and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls round out the in-cabin experience.
Comfort and Cabin Life
The 40/20/40 split-bench front seat in premium cloth gives you the flexibility of a fold-down centre console plus seating for three up front when needed. The 10-way power driver's seat with power lumbar and the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel make a real difference on longer drives. The Quad Cab layout offers usable rear seating for everyday use, with a flat rear load floor that helps when carrying gear inside the cabin.
Value as a Used Vehicle
With moderate mileage for a 2021, this Classic Express still has a healthy runway ahead of any major service work. The MOPAR lifetime rust protection - already active - is a rare bonus on the used market and shifts the long-term ownership math in your favour. The combination of the HEMI, the 8-speed automatic, 4x4 driveline and well-chosen option packages explains why the RAM 1500 Classic remains a go-to choice for Quebec buyers who want a genuine truck without taking on the cost of new.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a RAM 1500 and a RAM 1500 Classic?
The RAM 1500 Classic is the previous-generation RAM 1500, kept in production alongside the redesigned RAM 1500 starting in 2019 to offer a more accessible, more traditional option. The cabin, dashboard and exterior shape differ from the new-generation RAM 1500 of the same model year. The Classic sticks to a proven formula that buyers who value simplicity and durability tend to prefer.
Why a 3.21 axle ratio instead of a 3.92?
The 3.21 ratio favours fuel economy and relaxed highway cruising. The 3.92 favours stronger acceleration and maximum tow ratings. For mixed use with moderate towing and a lot of highway driving, the 3.21 often hits the better everyday balance.
What does the MOPAR lifetime rust protection cover?
It's a rust protection treatment applied by MOPAR and backed by a lifetime warranty under the program's terms, primarily aimed at perforation rust on treated body panels. In Quebec, where road salt does serious work on vehicles every winter, that's a meaningful long-term asset.
Is 8,160 lbs of towing capacity enough for a travel trailer?
For most light to mid-size travel trailers, yes. You'll also want to factor in gross combined weight rating, tongue weight and remaining payload once passengers and gear are on board. Our team can help confirm a clean match with your specific trailer or RV.
