I’ll be getting this truck as my daily with the power package for 700 that includes power mirrors. This has been the only truck I can find that runs an 8ft box with a single cab and a V8 not to mention the style points. I also like a basic truck so anything more than power windows and cruise control with the ability to connect my phone just isn’t needed
According to the 2022 Ram Classic Express builder a FULL LENGTH CONSOLE and BUCKET SEATS can be optioned on the Regular Cab 6'4" bed! Pretty cool. Seats are manually adjusted though with no lumbar or height adjustments. I'd also note the Ram Classic Regular Cab is the only 1/2 ton with a storage tray behind the seats.
You mentioned “work truck “ a ridiculous number of times. Not everyone would use this truck as that. With the price of trucks today, for some, it would be a daily driver.

Wild that this truck MSRP's for 36k. Shows just how damn expensive trucks are these days. And especially in the current market, to think someone will actually have to pay MSRP in all likelihood for that truck is just insane! Especially considering I bought a 2021 Rebel about a year and a half ago, MSRP almost 60k and I got it for 49k which was well below invoice. Can't do that these days. My buddy is looking at an F-150 Tremor and dealers are adding markup of 7-10k on top of MSRP for any of them. Such a terrible time to be in the market for a new vehicle.
I have a 2013 that is basically exactly like this truck except mine is 4x4 with 20” wheels. Bought it used in 2016 at 30k miles. 180k and has served me well so far. Some of us are too poor to buy a nice Ram Big Horn or Laramie.
Yea 60, 70k for a mall mobile. To many electronics gizmos any more. Manual transmission and transfer case, crank windows, manual seats, manual hubs on 4x4s real pickup stuff

Avg price for a gallon of milk in 1990 : $1.19 Avg price for a gallon of milk in 2022: $3.74 $36000 for this truck in 2022… My dad got a Reg cab Long bed Chevy 2500 in 1990 : 2wd - 5.7 - Manual Trans : $19,000 Price is not terrible. Dad was gone in 2017. Still see the truck driving around to this day.
Actually That’s a REALLY good price Mine is a 2017 Express reg cab Hemi and the sticker was 33k. After rebates I paid 21k. And the Express trim is 2k more and they throw in fog lights and dual pipes. More than pays for itself, if you were to add that on your own.
It is a work truck after all. Looks better kitted out than the U-Haul I rented earlier this year. That thing didn’t even have cruise control or a backup camera.
I owned a most basic dodge ram 1500 it didn't even have factory AC but it was the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned and i was not easy on that truck but it just kept going no issues.
I thought this was and is one of the best looking trucks of all time, think the Rebel and TRX still look great, but the other new RAM’s just look stodgy to me.
Totally agree. Rebel, TRX and Power Wagon aside, the previous generation Ram's just look better all around. I had a 2016 in black with the black edition package. Loved how that truck looked, but it was a lower trim level lacking some features I wanted so I sold it last year and bought a 2021 Rebel. Love my Rebel, its a badass truck and fully loaded, but I still miss the look of my old 2016 sometimes.
Still haven't seen like a base base model. I would be interested. I have a 2017 1500 Tradesman quad cab 2wd 6'4" box. 3.6 V6 3.21 gear ratio. Tow package and bed liner. Power windows cruise control. No CD no Bluetooth no satellite radio. Vinyl floors is vinyl seats. Steel wheels. Purchased brand new in 2017. 12miles on the odometer. MSRP was 32,000. I got it down to 26,600. Put a little bit down financed $25,000. Currently at 110,000 miles it's been a good truck. My question,could you come close to a deal like that today? I would love to know. I absolutely love these regular cab long box trucks and if I did not have a family I would be all over it. Call me strange but still prefer the steel wheels over these with a nice set of beefy tires.
The high price just must be your area. Here in Phoenix some dealers have the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Tradesman Crew Cab without the black package listed at $37,388

i couldnt agree with you more, i got a 1999 f150 regular cab long bed and i love it, id take this ram in a heartbeat, just wish the price was around 25k
I don’t think this should be priced at 34K. You could buy a box truck for cheaper than that, especially with how basic everything is. Especially considering it’s priced similarly to a base Chrysler 300 which has way more features. Maybe with the classic edition it makes it more special but it would be great if they were a little cheaper considering how cheap it is.
