2022 RAM 1500 Classic Express 4x4 Crew Cab, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 factory-equipped to tow, in Hydro Blue


This 2022 RAM 1500 Classic Express is the full-size truck without the unnecessary extras, the one that gets straight to the point. Finished in Hydro Blue Pearl, riding on 20-inch aluminium wheels and built as a true six-passenger Crew Cab, it arrives at Daniel Pare with 54,251 kilometres on the odometer, roughly 13,100 kilometres per year, below the Quebec average. More importantly, it was factory-ordered with the full trailer-tow package, which makes it a truck that is ready to work on delivery day rather than one you have to equip after the purchase.

Where a new RAM 1500 Classic Express configured exactly like this one retailed for 58,400 dollars on its original window sticker, this unit comes in at around 35,900 dollars, a saving of more than 22,500 dollars. On top of that, its original powertrain warranty is still active and transferable to the next owner at no cost.


Powertrain and driving

Under the hood sits the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 with variable valve timing, an engine rated at 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque (365 N.m). It is one of the most widely used powerplants in the Stellantis lineup, built in the millions since 2011, and it has a solid reputation for smoothness and for taking kilometres in stride. It is paired with the 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission and its rotary E-shifter, a gearbox that keeps engine speed low on the highway and leaves headroom on acceleration when the truck is loaded.

The selectable 4x4 system is simple to engage and proves its worth through Beauce winters and on backroads in spring. The 3.55 rear axle ratio, ordered as a factory option, favours off-the-line traction and towing capability over fuel economy alone. The standard block heater and the 730-amp maintenance-free battery ensure strong starts in deep cold.

On fuel consumption, the official Natural Resources Canada ratings are 14.5 L/100 km in the city, 10.2 L/100 km on the highway and 12.6 L/100 km combined, noticeably thriftier than a V8 of the same size.


Towing and payload capability

This is where this unit separates itself from other Express trucks of its year. The Trailer-Tow Mirrors and Brake Group, a 950-dollar option paid for when the truck was new, brings three items that are expensive to add later: a factory-installed Class IV hitch receiver, an electronic trailer brake controller integrated into the dash, and black power trailer-tow mirrors that fold manually. The 4-pin wiring harness is standard. In other words, you hook up and you go.

In this exact configuration, Crew Cab, 4x4, 3.6-litre V6 and 3.55 axle, the official Canadian Stellantis chart, compliant with the SAE J2807 standard, lists a towing capacity of up to 7,400 lb (3,357 kg). That is more than enough for a compact travel trailer, a boat trailer, an ATV trailer or a jobsite equipment trailer. Gross vehicle weight rating is 6,800 lb (3,084 kg) and payload can approach 1,720 lb (780 kg). The 5-foot-7-inch box offers 50.3 cu ft (1.4 cu m) of volume, protected by carpet floor covering.


Exterior design and presence

The Express package gives this truck a clean, coherent look: a body-colour painted grille instead of chrome, integrated fog lamps, and a profile that shows off the Hydro Blue Pearl paint. That deep blue, a pearlescent finish that shifts character with the light, stands out clearly from the whites and greys filling most parking lots.

The 20 by 8-inch aluminium wheels fill the arches well and give the truck a solid visual stance. The black trailer-tow mirrors, wider than the standard units, add an unapologetically utilitarian touch, and the automatic headlamps switch on by themselves at dusk.


Comfort and life on board

The Crew Cab is the most versatile body style in the Classic lineup. In the back, legroom reaches 40.3 inches (1,023 mm), enough to seat three adults comfortably for a full day on the road. The second-row in-floor storage bins keep tools and cables out of sight, and the rear bench folds up to free a flat load floor.

Up front, the 40-20-40 cloth bench brings total seating to six, with a centre section that folds down into an armrest and work console. The black cabin with diesel grey seats accepts work boots and wet mitts without drama. Air conditioning, cruise control, power front windows with one-touch operation, remote keyless entry and a 12-volt outlet cover the everyday essentials, and front and rear protective mats were included from the factory.


Technology and connectivity

This RAM is equipped with the Uconnect 3 system and a 5-inch touchscreen, a deliberately simple interface, quick to learn and easy to operate with gloves on. Bluetooth hands-free communication lets you take calls without leaving the wheel, and SiriusXM satellite radio opens up national stations on longer trips. A cockpit built for reliability and legibility rather than for a technology showcase.


Safety and peace of mind

This Classic Express includes advanced multistage front airbags, side curtain airbags and front side airbags, electronic stability control with traction control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes and tire pressure monitoring. The ParkView backup camera makes tight manoeuvres and lining up on a hitch easier, real help when you are backing up to a trailer on your own. A full inspection by our technicians precedes delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 strong enough for a full-size truck?
Yes, for the vast majority of uses. Its 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft make it the most powerful V6 ever offered in a Ram 1500 Classic, and it tows up to 7,400 lb (3,357 kg) in this configuration. The HEMI V8 is still the better choice if you tow heavy every week, but for occasional towing, hauling materials and daily driving, the Pentastar does the job while using noticeably less fuel.

What is the real towing capacity of this truck?
In this exact configuration, Crew Cab, 4x4, 3.6-litre V6 and 3.55 rear axle, the official Canadian Stellantis chart lists a capacity of up to 7,400 lb (3,357 kg), established to the SAE J2807 standard. Actual capacity drops with passenger and cargo weight. Our team can go over your hitch setup with you.

What do the Class IV hitch and the trailer brake controller actually give you?
The Class IV hitch receiver is factory-installed and wired, with a maximum tongue weight of 1,100 lb (499 kg) for a conventional hitch. The electronic trailer brake controller, built into the dash, applies the trailer's brakes in proportion to the truck's, which is much safer on a downgrade. Added after the purchase, these two items easily run more than 1,500 dollars installed.

What fuel consumption should I expect?
The official Natural Resources Canada ratings are 14.5 L/100 km in the city, 10.2 L/100 km on the highway and 12.6 L/100 km combined. Expect a little more in winter and in city driving, a little less on long highway runs. Towing will of course raise consumption.

Is this RAM well suited to Beauce winters?
Yes. The selectable 4x4 system and electronic stability control give it good traction on snow, and the standard block heater makes cold starts easier. Do note that this is a work-oriented configuration: this unit does not have heated seats or remote start, a deliberate choice that partly explains its attractive price.

Is 54,251 km high for a 2022 truck?
No, quite the opposite. Spread over roughly four years, that works out to about 13,100 kilometres per year, below the Quebec average, which generally sits between 15,000 and 20,000 kilometres. For a full-size truck whose mechanical life is measured in hundreds of thousands of kilometres, this unit is still young.

How much of the original warranty is left?
The truck was placed in service in June 2022. The 5-year or 100,000 km powertrain warranty remains active until June 2027, with more than 45,000 kilometres available under that cap, as do the corrosion and perforation coverage and the major emission components warranty. The 3-year basic warranty expired in June 2025. These original warranties are transferable to the next owner at no cost and with no deductible, for Canadian residents.

Are there open recalls and will the vehicle be ready for delivery?
Before each delivery, we check open recalls in the manufacturer's system and complete those that apply, on top of our preparation inspection. That way you drive off in an up-to-date vehicle.

Why buy this truck at Daniel Pare Dodge Chrysler?
Because you are buying a Ram from a Ram dealer. Our service department is Stellantis certified, equipped with Mopar and wiTECH tools, and our technicians work on the Pentastar V6 and the TorqueFlite transmission every day. We also have access to the manufacturer's service history and to the exact status of the original warranties, which saves you unpleasant surprises.
