Ram 1500 Classic Returns For 2022 With These Changes:

The Ram 1500 Classic returns for the 2022 model year and an initial look at dealer ordering guides detail some additions and deletions for the new year. Once again, buyers will choose Regular, Quad, or Crew Cab in two-wheel-drive (4×2) and four-wheel-drive (4×4) configurations. Regular cabs will be available with the 6’4 bed or 8′ bed, Quad Cabs will have the 6’4 bed, and Crew Cabs will be available with the 5’7 or 6’4 bed.

Tradesman, Express, SLT, and Warlock trims all return, but there are a few notable additions and deletions across the lineup.

Firstly the Electronics Convenience Group available across all trims now appears to come with the new 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 head unit, which offers wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto functionality. Interestingly (and we don’t know if this is an error or not), the dealer order guide shows the Uconnect® 4C NAV w/ 8.4-inch display (UCQ) available as a standalone option.
