2020 Ram 1500 Classic Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ram's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Ram 1500 Classic? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 1500 Classic’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my 1500 Classic transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2020 1500 Classic’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ram, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Ram 1500 Classic transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ram 1500 Classic, potentially causing transmission problems.
