2023 RAM 1500 Classic SLT 4x4, the 5.7L HEMI V8 in its most honest form

This 2023 RAM 1500 Classic SLT leans on a proven recipe, a genuine 5.7L HEMI V8, a 4x4 system with a two-speed transfer case, and a Crew Cab that seats six. Finished in Granite Crystal Metallic, a deep dark grey, it rides on 20 inch aluminum wheels and shows 54,945 km, a reasonable figure for a truck of this age. Placed in service in January 2024, it keeps a meaningful share of its factory coverage, including the powertrain warranty through January 2029 or 100,000 km. At Daniel Paré, it was inspected before being offered, aimed at the Beauce driver who wants the sound and torque of a HEMI without paying new-truck money.


Engine and driving

Under the hood, the 5.7L HEMI V8 makes 395 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 410 lb-ft of torque at 3,950 rpm, numbers that explain why this engine is still the one many half-ton buyers ask for. Variable valve timing and the MDS cylinder deactivation system let the engine slip smoothly onto four cylinders when the load allows, which helps on the highway without dulling the punch when you press the throttle.

Power runs through an 8-speed automatic controlled by a rotary shifter and backed by a heavy-duty oil cooler. It stays smooth at low speed and quiet on the road, with closely spaced ratios that keep the HEMI in its torque band.

The 4x4 system pairs with a two-speed, electronically engaged transfer case you can shift on the fly. In low range it delivers the gearing you need to climb out of a snowed-in driveway, back a trailer down a boat ramp, or ease along a muddy sugar-bush road. Heavy-duty front and rear shocks and the 3.21 axle ratio round out a balanced chassis, built to run loaded without turning harsh when empty.

For a Chaudière-Appalaches winter, the built-in engine block heater and one-touch power front windows make cold mornings easier, and four-wheel drive gives you the confidence you want on Route 73 and on Beauce back roads alike.


Capability and versatility

This RAM leaves the factory ready for light work and weekend play. It carries a Class III receiver hitch, a 4-pin trailer harness, and a 7-pin connector, so you can hook up a utility trailer, a boat, or a small travel trailer with no extra wiring. The HEMI's generous 410 lb-ft of torque is felt most on a grade with a load behind you, and supports a towing capacity of up to 8,220 lb (3,728 kg) depending on equipment.

The 5 ft 7 in box, with a locking tailgate, swallows renovation materials, outdoor gear, and seasonal equipment. Inside, the 60/40 rear bench folds up to open a flat load floor, and under-seat storage keeps tools out of sight. The six-passenger layout means you can also bring the whole household or work crew in a single cab.


Exterior design and style

Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat, a deep dark grey, suits the squared lines of the 1500 Classic and hides gravel-road dust better than a pale colour. The chrome grille, bright front and rear bumpers, and Ram's head badge define the front end, while black door handles and mirrors add quiet contrast.

The 20 inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 275/60R20 Goodyear all-season tires add presence without going overboard, and the standard ride height keeps the truck versatile. Quad halogen headlamps with automatic on and off, daytime running lamps, and a mast antenna complete an honest profile, that of an unapologetic work truck rather than a show piece. HEMI and 4x4 badges hint at what sits under the sheet metal.


Comfort and cabin life

The cabin centres on a 40/20/40 cloth front bench, a practical choice that turns the middle position into an armrest with cupholders or a third seat as needed. The driver enjoys a 10-way power seat, a welcome touch at this equipment level, to quickly find the right driving position.

Air conditioning, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, cruise control, and a tilt steering column cover the daily basics. Storage is plentiful, an overhead console, an under-seat bin, centre cushion storage, and a folding flat load floor in the rear. Front and rear all-weather floor mats, a 115V outlet, and several power ports round out a cabin built to be used, not just admired. The N95 cabin air filter cleans incoming air, a detail that matters on long drives.


Technology and connectivity

The Uconnect system with a 5 inch touchscreen keeps things simple, with SiriusXM satellite radio, hands-free Bluetooth, integrated voice command, and a six-speaker setup. A media hub with USB ports and an auxiliary jack lets you connect and charge devices, while the 3.5 inch colour cluster display and driver information centre keep useful data in view. It is a direct, easy-to-learn interface that does the job with no learning curve.


Safety and peace of mind

The safety structure includes multistage front airbags, front side airbags, and front and rear side curtain airbags. Electronic stability control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and the ParkView rear camera help every day, in tight manoeuvres and on icy roads. Tire pressure monitoring and the Sentry Key immobilizer complete the package.

Add to that the value of a well-kept used vehicle. The factory basic warranty is still running, and more importantly the powertrain warranty remains valid through January 7, 2029 or 100,000 km, a meaningful safety net on the engine, transmission, and driveline. Corrosion perforation coverage extends to January 2029 and major emissions coverage to January 2032. These factory warranties transfer to the new owner at no charge.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 5.7L HEMI reliable over the long haul?
The 5.7L HEMI V8 has been in service for many years and has earned a solid reputation for durability when maintained on schedule, with regular oil changes and spark plugs at the right interval. On this unit, the powertrain warranty still active through January 2029 or 100,000 km adds a layer of reassurance on the engine and transmission.

How does this RAM handle a Quebec winter?
The 4x4 system with a two-speed transfer case, paired with the 20 inch all-season tires and the built-in block heater, makes it a serious ally in snow and ice. Low range helps free the truck from a snowbank or manoeuvre a trailer, and four-wheel drive puts the traction where you need it.

What about fuel consumption?
Like any half-ton V8, the 5.7L HEMI drinks more than a V6, but MDS cylinder deactivation and active grille shutters help contain highway consumption. The 98 litre, 26 gallon tank gives good range between stops. For exact official ratings, ask us for the EnerGuide figures matching this configuration.

What can it tow?
It leaves the factory with a Class III receiver hitch and 4-pin and 7-pin trailer harnesses. In this configuration, a Crew Cab 4x4 with the 3.21 axle and the HEMI V8, it is rated to tow up to 8,220 lb (3,728 kg), enough to pull a utility trailer, a boat, or a small travel trailer with confidence.

How many people can it carry?
Thanks to its Crew Cab and 40/20/40 front bench, this RAM seats six. The 60/40 rear bench folds to carry long items inside, sheltered from the weather, making it a versatile choice for family and work.

Are the remaining factory warranties transferable?
Yes. The manufacturer's factory warranties transfer to the new owner at no charge. In practice, the powertrain warranty through January 2029 or 100,000 km, the corrosion protection, and the major emissions coverage follow the vehicle, a real advantage on a used purchase.

What is the difference between the 1500 Classic and the new RAM 1500?
The 1500 Classic carries over the previous generation, built alongside the newer model. Its appeal is proven mechanicals, an available HEMI V8, and strong value. The new 1500 offers a more modern interior and added technology, but costs more. For the buyer who wants a reliable HEMI and a true 4x4 first, without overspending, the Classic still makes sense.

Are there open recalls on this vehicle?
Before delivery, we check for open recalls with Stellantis and perform the available fixes at no charge to you. You drive away with an up-to-date vehicle, and we share the known service history with you.

Why deal with Daniel Paré for this RAM?
Because you get an established Stellantis dealer in the Beauce region, an inspection completed before the sale, and a service department equipped for the HEMI and the 8-speed transmission. Our team knows these trucks and can support you from the test drive through maintenance, long after the keys change hands.
