"Please, don’t call me Dodge. From now on, my name is RAM Dakota." Having undergone a modest facelift in 2008, this intermediate truck is mostly unchanged for this year. Numerous configurations exist, offering a single or double cab, crew or extended box, 2x4 or 4x4. The new 4.7-litre V8 is by far the most enticing engine option. It even runs on biofuel (E85). Its intermediate size is appealing.

In late April, Stellantis discontinued production of the Ram 1500 Classic for the Canadian market and planned to sell existing units in the following months. It later said that production for the United States and Mexico would also end later in 2024. But lo and behold, the truck is back …
