2019 Ram Warlock Revives A Classic

Thenew Ram HDmay be getting the lion's share of attention, but the 1500 is the one most will buy. In fact FCA's truck division is still making the old one, and it's put a new/old spin on it with this latest special edition.

Though it looks much like theRam Rebel, what you're actually looking at is the Warlock edition. It's based on theRam 1500 Classicthat remains in production at Chrysler's Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Michigan, but goes even further back into the archives for its inspiration.

The automaker based in Auburn Hills first rolled out a Warlock edition in 1976, when the Ram trucks were still under the Dodge brand. The original featured a unique gold-pinstriped black paint job (similar to Lotus' iconic JPS livery or thePontiac Trans Ampopularized byBurt ReynoldsinSmokey and the Bandit）and matching gold wheels, as well as wood bedside slats.

The new Warlock has none of those unique touches. Just the name. But it does carry its own special treatment, giving it a similar appearance to the Ram Rebel, but at a more accessible price.
