Based on the still-available
previous-generation 2019 Ram 1500 Classic, it carries the iconic Warlock name
and is an homage to the factory-customized Warlock pickup trucks Dodge sold
from 1976 to 1979. At the time, the Warlock targeted young buyers looking for a
custom-look truck straight from the factory – and that’s exactly what Ram wants
to achieve today with the Warlock-themed 1500.
On the outside, the new Warlock features a bold
grille with Ram lettering, front and rear powder-coated bumpers, 20-inch
semi-gloss black aluminum wheels, black wheel flares, black badging, tow hooks,
as well as hood stripes and Warlock decals on the bedsides. A Sport hood, black
side steps and spray-in bed liner are available as options.
The truck also comes with a 25-mm factory
lift kit and heavy-duty rear shocks, as well as a lighting package including
projector headlamps with dark bezels, LED fog lamps and LED taillights.
Inside, the Warlock package brings Diesel Grey cloth
seats, ParkSense rear park assist and Ram 1500 Classic’s Luxury Group. The
latter includes goodies such as the leather-wrapped steering wheel, overhead
console, 7-inch cluster display, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power foldaway
mirrors, and LED bed lighting. Customers can also add heated bench or bucket
seats and an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen interface with navigation.
Ram offers the Warlock truck with two engine
choices: a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 making 305 hp and 364 Nm of
torque and a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 pumping 395 hp and 555 Nm. Both are
linked to the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and come in 4×2 or
4×4 configurations. The Warlock package is available as a Quad Cab or Crew Cab,
the latter solely with the 5-ft 7-in bed.
The 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock goes on sale next
month with prices starting at US$ 35,345 (excluding US$ 1,695 destination).
