Statement in Response to End of Production of Ram 1500 Classic at Warren Truck Assembly Plant

August 9, 2024 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  The Ram 1500 Classic has been a great entry point pickup for Ram and the Tradesman model has well represented the needs of commercial truck customers for years. We introduced the new 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman with incredible value and content. The upgraded electrical architecture allows new technologies useful to commercial fleets for better tracking and improved safety systems, such as Forward Collision Warning Plus and adaptive cruise control. Additionally, the available Hurricane Straight-Six Turbo engine provides greater fuel efficiency, vital to lowering total cost of ownership. The new platform also offers more electrification opportunities with the Ram REV and Ramcharger variants that otherwise wouldn’t have been available, enabling future compliance. 
  
With the introduction of the new Ram 1500, production of the Ram 1500 Classic at the Warren (Michigan) Truck Assembly Plant will come to an end later this year. As a result, Stellantis announced today that the plant will move from a two-shift to a one-shift operating pattern in general assembly. Other operations within the plant will remain on two shifts to support Jeep Wagoneer production.  
  
All concerned parties will be notified as required by law.
