The 2021 Ram 1500 Classic Express 4WD combines the timeless, aggressive "DS" body style with a heavy-duty options blueprint, providing Canadian truck owners with an ideal blend of old-school HEMI muscle and modern, freeze-defying comfort.Mechanical: Uncompromising HEMI V8 MuscleUnder the sculpted, performance-inspired Sport Performance Hood sits the legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 engine featuring Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and FuelSaver Multi-Displacement System (MDS). Unleashing a commanding 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, this naturally aspirated powerhouse transfers energy through a heavy-duty 8-speed automatic transmission. True year-round Canadian capability is driven by an electronic shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive (4WD) system, offering maximum traction control to effortlessly pull heavy trailers or plow through deep snow drifts.Safety: Standard Active Protection GridDrive with total peace of mind knowing your passengers are continually guarded by a high-strength steel chassis frame and standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Trailer Sway Control. Part of the Quick Order Package 26J Express setup is an integrated ParkView rear backup camera, projecting crisp dynamic gridlines to make hitching up to a trailer entirely hassle-free. Occupant safety is further reinforced by a comprehensive 6-airbag network—including advanced multistage front airbags and supplemental side-curtain airbags—for full 360-degree impact defense.Technology: Upgraded Electronics Command CenterThe driver-focused cabin gets a major high-tech boost via the Electronics Convenience Group and the Wheel & Sound Group. The dashboard features an upgraded, intuitive 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen multimedia interface fully compatible with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Drivers can seamlessly manage smartphone navigation, messages, and calls completely hands-free via steering wheel-mounted audio controls or Bluetooth voice recognition. Telemetry is tracked crisply through an upgraded 7-inch colour digital driver information cluster display resting right in your line of sight.Design: Chrome Detail Utilities and Deep Winter DefenseThe exterior profile commands an unmistakable street presence across Canada, styling body-colour front and rear fascias, fixed Express running boards, an under-rail bed liner, and bold 20-inch chrome aluminum wheels. Engineered explicitly to immediately defeat freezing Canadian winter mornings, the factory-tailored Sub Zero Package comes armed with a factory remote engine starter system, multi-stage heated front seats, a premium heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a security alarm. Working after dark is made highly convenient by ultra-bright, factory-installed LED bed lighting tucked into the cargo box. At the same time, the cabin remains highly versatile with a 40/20/40 split front bench and dual-zone automatic climate control.
