For the new year, the Ram 1500 drops the mid-range turbo-diesel engine, leaving it with the standard V6 or the full-fat HEMI V8. There is also a Final Edition for the range-topping TRX trim.

The fourth-gen truck is so old, it was launched when Ram was still part of Dodge. The year is 2008. Things are looking grim for the global auto industry and the rest of the financial world.

The final limited-production run of the 2024 Ram 1500 Classic in Canada will signal its retirement. The Classic was the fourth-generation truck that arrived in 2009 and returned to duty in 2019.
