Well, with the Hemi going away after this model year I decided to get my last one, another 1500 Classic. My 2015 and 2017 came with foam cupholders. I had to buy some for my 2020, which I kept for my 2024. My 2015 and 2017 had a small floor console in front of the jump seat. My 2020 didn't so I added one. Kept that for my 2024 also. My 2020 did not have map lights but my 2024 does. My 2024 also has map pockets on the back of the front seats that my 2020 didn't have. All of these trucks have been Tradesman. The first two were Express, the last two just Tradesman. My 2024 feels like they were taking whatever parts they had left for this last model year and throwing them on the truck.

Almost forgot. I had to order a coin holder off of eBay for it. My first three had one but they must have run out for 2024.

Very happy I found one with 3.92's. This combo really loves the taller gears.

 

Doesn't surprise me that the 2024 might be a kind of parts bin truck given it's the last of the Hemi.

 

That's why I bought it, also why I bought a Classic. The eTorque system doesn't thrill me.

 

Moving this to 5th Gen Ram.

 

I thought a 1500 Classic was considered 4th Gen?

 

On that, I haven't got a clue. I'm just going by the year.

 

It is definitely a 4th Gen, same since 2009.

 

2019 was the first year of the fifth gen. Did dodge go back 5 years for the 'classic'?

 

They have continued to build the Classic model all the way into 2024, so they have something they can sell as a "value"model at a lower price point.

 

Ok, digging into it deeper, you are correct. The "Classic" is indeed a fourth gen truck. Moving this back.
