Used 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Quad Cab Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2022 Ram 1500 Classic is available in three trim levels: Tradesman, Express and Warlock. There are three cab configurations (regular cab, crew cab and Quad Cab) and three bed lengths (5 feet 7 inches, 6 feet 4 inches, and 8 feet) available, though certain combinations are limited to specific trims.
Which 1500 Classic trim does Edmunds recommend?
More likely than not, you're looking at the Ram 1500 Classic as a more affordable work-truck alternative to the current Ram 1500. If this is the case, we suggest starting with the base Tradesman trim and adding needed options. For those with larger budgets and a desire for more refinement, it makes more sense to step up to the non-Classic Ram 1500.
