Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

On August 1, in a bit about impending Stellantis layoffs at the Warren Truck Plant that builds the Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Ram 1500 Classic, AutoForecast Solutions wrote "The Ram 1500 Classic is scheduled to end production in September, leaving just the large Jeep SUVs at the facility." The next day, Automotive News followed up with more layoff news, writing that a seating supplier for the new-old-stock pickup would permanently shed 63 workers, adding that Ram CEO Christine Feuell confirmed the end of the 15-year-old truck. A Ram spokesperson put the period at the end with, "The Ram 1500 Classic has been a great entry point pickup for Ram, and the Tradesman model has certainly represented the needs of our commercial truck customers. With the introduction of the Tradesman trim on the new Ram 1500 for 2024 model year, we bid farewell to the previous generation and remind customers that the HEMI-powered Ram 1500 Classic will sell into 2025."
