      Ram brought back one of its classic trims from the 1970s for an update in 2019.


    Ram unveiled the Ram 1500 Classic Warlock edition, a take on the 1970s trim of the same name.

    The 2019 Ram 1500 Warlock offers buyers a well-equipped, factory customized truck at an attractive $35,345 plus destination charge.  The Warlock features a Ram Rebel style grille, front and rear powder coated bumper, 1" factory lift, black wheel flairs, Warlock decals, and an available sport hood.

    Warlock History
    In 1976, the first production Dodge Warlock was introduced following the public's positive response to a pickup originally designed as an auto show concept vehicle. The Warlock was a factory-personalized pickup that could "play as hard as it works," according to the period literature, complete with bucket seats, "fancy wheels, fat tires," chrome-plated running boards, real oak sideboards and special gold accent stripes inside and out. Production ran until 1979.
     
    Ram 1500 Classic
    The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic boasts numerous segment-exclusive features in areas most important to truck buyers. Outstanding ride and handling is accomplished via a unique link-coil rear suspension. Other features, such as RamBox bedside storage, hidden bins and a flat-load floor, offer unique solutions for cargo. New "Classic" badging is located on the front fenders.
     
    The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock will be produced at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant (Warren, Michigan), which has built more than 12.5 million trucks since it started operations in 1938.

    I like that they are continuing to update the older truck.  Might not be a terrible strategy going forward with the way truck prices are going. 

    Except the prices are minimally lower.  Believe me, I have left a lot of saliva on Ram door glasses lately.

    I like the fact that Dodge has not forgotten their past glories.  I wish it were available in a regular cab, short bed though, like the old one.  I would love that, even if they didn't spend the money to make it a stepside like the original.

    The cheapest I was able to price a new Ram 1500 was about $4k more.  Even then it didn't have heated seats.

    Well I am surprised how close they are in price, I mean the Classic is still nice, but obsolete.  The ones I'm seeing are only about $1k diff in MSRP, I am sure incentives are higher on the Classic.

    It's the option packages. I know you equip your vehicles fairly basic.  You get more options in the Classic than you do in the New for the same price.  The smaller/base uConnect is notably bad, so I won't consider any FCA vehicle that has it.  The Warlock comes standard with the 8.4 uConnect.

    • I did that quiz that told me what state was most suited to my personality.  I did it 2 times a few weeks apart and I kept saying Texas.  How does relaxing, drinking hot tea, not liking crowds, and liking the mountains line up with Texas? So I just did another one that would be able to see what region I'm from.  This one is a hoot.  I am from diagonally across the country from the region indicated and I spent 21 of my first 25 years there.  Now, every place I've been for work or school, or even if just a party, the Northeast is inevitably where the people that I reel in come from ... like a freaking magnet.  It never fails. Happy Christmas Eve.
    • Yeah...it is a beautiful road for what I could tell from the videos I see.  Like you @Robert Hall from seeing all kinds of video media of it.  I do admire the fact that you actually drove on it.  Plus all of your travels of your country that you did and continue to do.   @A Horse With No Name and @trinacriabob also have that respect from me for the same reasons. Matt Farah does plenty of car reviews on this road. At least I think its part of this road. Or when Jay Leno references to get out of Los Angeles and head to the mountains where there are no people he says.  In a different time, I would have loved to visit California.  I was California dreamin' during my teen years and always loved the sights and dreams of California.  Then in my 30s or 40s, I wasnt into California as much.  Then JUST before trump became president for the 2nd time, I was falling in love with California again (minus that hollywood creepiness) only to be happy to shyte on ALL of the usa including california. I know I have become a douchebag these past few months regarding your country, but the political climate of your country has made me bitter and hateful.  I know I shouldnt be lumping ALL of the crap that is maga and trumpism into one huge bowl of hate for all things american, but it is what it is... There are many parts of the usa that I NEED to see before I die.  California is one of these parts that I NEED to experience.  And for all the maga deplorable bullshyte that is florida, the Keys are another part I NEED to see.  Video gaming talent being lost due to excessive speeds (on roads that seem to be heavenly to auto enthusiasts) is sad indeed.   For the human element of someone dying...  There will be others to take his place.  What is sadder is that he could actually afford "track days" on SEVERAL California race tracks.  He could have asked Ferrari (paid an additional  small fee) to have Ferrari, the OEM, to tune his Ferrari with THEIR engineers and race crew to the optimal race track settings of ANY race track IN THE WORLD and he could have raced his SF 90 to the car's fullest capabilities without the risks of killing innocent peoples on public streets. And if he chose an additional option on his Ferrari purchase, Ferrari race crews could have also taught him to reach his  fullest capacity of his talents. And he could have afforded all those things too.   What I find extremely frustrating is that he has money to feel like a superstar with his $800 000 Ferrari racing his car in all kinds of exotic locations having a personal Ferrari pit crew cheering him on, and if he chose, to have high priced escorts in scantily clad clothing as cheerleaders but no...he chose to have street take-over/cars and coffee hoodlums cheer on his and hid friend's demise. While a couple of them stood their in disbelief and yelled "oh shyte" and "oh phoque"  and dragged his friend's body like it was diseased away from the burning wreck, most of them fled the scene like cockroaches they were.  I guess this was the way he valued his life.  Driving fast in the lowest common denominator kind of way and dying in that same low common denominator way. THIS is what is frustrating to me, he had the money that he worked hard for to enjoy the prestige of owning and racing a Ferrari...  Instead, he put innocent people at risk for cheap thrills.   I understand why poorer people drive fast, especially on intoxicating roads like Angeles Crest, because I understand the adrenaline rushes that come from that environment.  I do not condone it, I understand it. But he, he had the money to die a more dignified death with the same adrenaline rush. But THAT also wouldnt involve in risking any innocent peoples lives either.  At least with me, if I ever remember his death in the future sometime, I will remember him as the clown who drove too fast and killed his friend.
    • Yeah...my impression was that in the past in the UK they were an old money type of car.  They were conservatively styled, quietly luxurious..now just another gauche bling toy for vapid overhyped people. 
    • This is one of the great stupid things about people that are book smart, common sense stupid in that they think because they can afford to buy expensive exotic sport cars they can drive them crazy fast everywhere and the car will handle the turn, sadly one cannot deny gravity and physics. They get what they deserve when thinking they are better than others cause they can afford the exotic auto. Sad that humanity lost his skill in game making.
