Fox News Autos test drive: 2021 Ram 1500 TRX<\/h4>\n

King of the dinosaurs<\/p>\n

Short-shorts are out of style at Ram.<\/p>\n

The truck brand is discontinuing the two-door regular cab, short (six-foot, four-inch) bed configuration for its 1500 pickup for 2023.<\/p>\n

It is currently offered on the Ram 1500 Classic, which is the last-generation model that was first introduced in 2009 and is sold as a budget offering alongside the latest Ram 1500 that debuted in 2019.<\/p>\n

Mopar Insiders first reported the news when it discovered the option was missing from next year’s fleet ordering guide and Ram has since confirmed the decision.<\/p>\n

Ram has not detailed the reason for the change. The two-door, short bed style was once popular, but the market has shifted toward four-door trucks. Automakers have recently been focusing on their higher end models amid the ongoing semiconductor chip shortage.<\/p>\n

Ram parent Stellantis also announced this week that the factory that builds the Ram 1500 Classic and Jeep Wagoneer lines is cutting the third shift at the plant.<\/p>\n

The two-door, short-bed 1500 Classic is the least expensive full-size pickup on sale today with a base price of $32,130 with a V6 engine, while the V8-powered version is the lowest-priced vehicle of any type with a V8 engine at $34,930.<\/p>\n

A regular cab with an eight-foot-long bed will still be offered on the 1500 Classic, but the latest generation Ram 1500 is only available with four-door Quad Cab and Crew Cab bodies.<\/p>\n
