2021 RAM 1500 Classic Warlock 4x4 Crew Cab, 5.7L HEMI V8 with a 3.92 axle and factory towing equipment


This 2021 RAM 1500 Classic Warlock brings together the boldest look in the Classic lineup and the mechanicals truck buyers look for. The optional 5.7L HEMI V8 is paired with a 3.92 rear axle, and the complete towing equipment was ordered from the factory: Class IV hitch receiver, integrated trailer brake controller and trailer-tow mirrors. Its Maximum Steel Metallic paint, a steel grey with blue undertones, sets off the Warlock's 20-inch semi-gloss black aluminium wheels. Put into service on December 27, 2020, it shows 129,934 km and has never been in an accident. It is in stock at Daniel Paré, in the Beauce region.


5.7L HEMI V8, 3.92 axle and 4x4

The 5.7L HEMI V8 with variable valve timing produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft (556 N·m) of torque, with no mild-hybrid assist. On the Warlock it replaces the standard V6 and changes the truck's character: strong acceleration, torque in reserve with a trailer hooked up, and the deep HEMI sound, carried by dual rear exhaust with bright tips. Its multi-displacement system lets it run on four cylinders under light cruise.

The TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic is controlled by a rotary shifter on the dashboard. The 3.92 rear axle, also a factory option, favours launches and towing, and gives this Crew Cab its highest towing rating. The part-time 4x4 system engages on the fly with an electronic switch, and the multilink coil-spring rear suspension gets the heavy-duty shocks of the Warlock package. The block heater and 730-amp battery make cold-weather starts easier.

The original EnerGuide label shows 16.2 L/100 km city, 11.6 L/100 km highway and 14.1 L/100 km combined. A V8 with a 3.92 axle is not a fuel-economy choice, and we would rather say so: it is a capability choice.


Towing and payload

Here are the numbers from the official Canadian Stellantis chart for the 2021 RAM 1500 Classic, established to the SAE J2807 standard, for this exact configuration, meaning Crew Cab 4x4, 5'7" box, 5.7L HEMI V8 and 3.92 axle:

· Maximum trailer weight of 10,270 lb (4,658 kg)
· Gross combined weight rating of 15,975 lb (7,246 kg)
· Payload of up to 1,460 lb (662 kg)

More importantly, this truck has the factory equipment to use it:

· Class IV hitch receiver attached directly to the frame
· Trailer brake controller integrated into the dashboard
· Black power trailer-tow mirrors, manual-folding
· 4- and 7-pin trailer wiring harness
· Trailer sway control built into the electronic stability control

With this hitch, tongue weight must not exceed 1,100 lb (499 kg), and a weight-distributing hitch is recommended above 5,000 lb (2,268 kg). Travel trailer heading for Massif du Sud, ATV or snowmobile trailer, boat or firewood, it is ready as soon as you hitch up.

The 5'7" box measures 67.4 in. (1,712 mm) at the floor and 51 in. (1,295 mm) between the wheelhouses, for 50.3 cu. ft. (1.4 m³) of volume, and it is protected by a factory spray-in bedliner.


What the Warlock package really changes

You recognize the Warlock by its black grille with RAM lettering, black powder-coated front and rear bumpers, black wheel flares and door handles, and 20-inch semi-gloss black aluminium wheels. Bi-function projector headlamps, daytime running lamps and sport tail lamps complete the lighting, and the sport performance hood gives it a more muscular stance.

It is not just about looks: the heavy-duty rear shocks and the 1-inch (25.4 mm) factory lift this 4x4 Warlock came with from the assembly line are part of the package. Height engineered in, rather than added later with an aftermarket kit. ParkSense rear park assist rounds it out.


Comfort and life on board

The Crew Cab offers 40.3 in. (1,023 mm) of rear legroom, where the bench seats three passengers. Up front, two superior-grade black cloth bucket seats bring capacity to five, and the driver's seat offers 10-way power adjustment with power lumbar support. Dual-zone automatic temperature control with a humidity sensor, cruise control, one-touch power front windows, a 12-volt outlet and a 115-volt outlet for a tool charger complete the equipment. With the rear bench flipped up, the flat load floor gives you covered space for whatever should not ride in the box.

In the interest of transparency, this truck has no heated seats, no heated steering wheel and no remote start: none of these appear on its original window sticker, and we would rather write it here than have you discover it in the showroom. In exchange, cloth stays comfortable in deep cold and summer heat alike.


Technology and connectivity

The Uconnect 4C system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through a USB cable, so your phone's navigation, music and messages appear on the screen. There is no built-in navigation, the phone takes care of it. A 7-inch configurable colour display in the instrument cluster, Bluetooth hands-free calling and SiriusXM satellite radio (subscription required) round out the package.


Safety and driver aids

· Six air bags, including front seat-mounted side air bags and side curtain air bags
· ParkView rear back-up camera and ParkSense rear park assist
· Electronic stability control with all-speed traction control and electronic roll mitigation
· Hill start assist, rain brake support and ready alert braking
· Four-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist
· Tire pressure monitoring and automatic headlamps

This truck has no blind-spot monitoring, no forward collision warning and no adaptive cruise control, since those systems do not appear on its original window sticker.

Frequently asked questions

Is a HEMI at 129,934 km a reasonable buy?
That mileage works out to about 22,600 km per year since the truck was put into service, slightly above average. The 5.7L HEMI V8 is one of the most widespread engines in North America: parts are easy to find, technicians know it well and maintenance is predictable. Its longevity depends first on the maintenance it has received, particularly oil changes done on time with the recommended oil. Our pre-delivery inspection assesses its mechanical condition before handover.

How much fuel does it use?
The EnerGuide ratings on its original window sticker are 16.2 L/100 km city, 11.6 L/100 km highway and 14.1 L/100 km combined. The 3.92 axle favours pulling power over economy, and real-world consumption varies with load, trailer, winter tires and cold weather.

Is it really ready to tow?
Yes. The Class IV hitch, trailer brake controller and trailer-tow mirrors are already in place, and the official Canadian chart lists 10,270 lb (4,658 kg) for this exact configuration. Keep in mind that the payload, up to 1,460 lb (662 kg), has to absorb tongue weight, passengers and cargo. We will go over your combination with you before you buy.

What is the difference between the RAM 1500 Classic and the newer generation?
The Classic carries on the previous generation of the RAM 1500, sold alongside the new one since 2019. It keeps simple, proven mechanicals, including the HEMI V8 with no mild-hybrid system. The newer generation offers more rear-seat room, 45.2 in. (1,147 mm) of Crew Cab rear legroom compared with 40.3 in. (1,023 mm) here, and more advanced driver aids. The Classic suits the buyer who wants a real HEMI truck that can tow, without paying for those technologies.

How does it handle winter in the Beauce?
Part-time 4x4 engages on the fly, and the extra height from the factory lift helps in unplowed snow at a cottage driveway or on a sugar bush road. The block heater makes cold starts easier. As mentioned, it has no heated seats and no remote start. With an empty box, a pickup's rear end stays light, so dedicated winter tires are still strongly recommended.

How much warranty is left on this truck?
Put into service on December 27, 2020, it is no longer covered by the basic, powertrain and corrosion factory warranties, all expired on time. The 8-year or 130,000 km major emissions component warranty is 66 km from its mileage cap and should be considered expired at delivery. No extended warranty is attached to this unit. Under Quebec's Consumer Protection Act, it falls into category D: no fixed-term good working order warranty applies, but the legal warranty of quality continues to protect you. Ask about the protection plans available at the time of purchase.

Are there open recalls, and what happens at delivery?
Every vehicle is checked in the Stellantis system before delivery, and any applicable recall is performed at no charge by our certified shop, on top of our pre-delivery inspection. You can ask us to run that check in front of you.

Why buy this truck from you rather than elsewhere?
Because a RAM whose factory warranties have expired is best looked after by a certified Stellantis shop with wiTECH and Mopar parts on hand, and because our Sainte-Marie and Saint-Malachie locations put service less than thirty minutes from most municipalities in the Beauce.
