In Canada you can only get the dual exhaust under the “wheel and sound” package. It’s not listed when you build it online, but shows up in the window sticker.
Not sure if 25j can get the dual exhaust with wheel and sound package. Most dealers in Canada order the 25j, so tricky to land the option without ordering
THANKS !!!

They are currently building regular cabs out of Mexico, with the current 2500. Most likely switching to regular rear bumpers since they are the same as the 2500s. I also bet they have switched the manufacturing equipment for the bumpers partially over for the new trucks.

Just had a 2019 classic crew cab for a rental, single side exhaust.

That seems to be only in Canada,we're FCA's dumping ground for the older 6 speeds,the majority of Express's south of the border are 8 speeds.


Is that a fact or just your opinion?

Does anyone know if the "Classic" is the same length as the 18's or is it 4" longer like the other 19's?

The Classic is basically an 18, with 2019 put ahead of the name on the window sticker. Same truck, just leftovers from 4th generation.

Try to find an 8 speed hemi in Canada below sport trim. There’s one rcsb today in Abbotsford. That’s literally it.

When I bought my Outdoorsman a dealer in White Rock BC had 2 Express Black Our Edition and still has 1 left 5.7 8sp with dual exhaust. Also has an SLT and ST with 5.7 8sp combo side exhaust. Not to sure where your getting this info from but not "literally it".

This post is referring to rcsb trucks.
Not referring to 4x4 quad or crew cabs.
Not sure why you are adding irrelevant info.
But find me a whack of 8 speed rcsb trucks in Canada.
If it existed in any number there would be one in my driveway today not down in Saltillo being built. But my needs for a 2wd /8 speed with rear slider and lsd , turned out to be an impossible combo to find on a lot west to east. Last summer, aNd today. I didn’t even care about color. Lol.
They don’t make an slt in rcsb for classics btw, you can build it online, but they won’t actually build it. Today you have 3 options in rcsb.
St/sxt/express. Which is why I said you can’t get a rcsb 8 speed easily under SPORT trim. See any rcsb big horns or limited lately? Me either.
Maybe I’ve sat down with dealers and hashed out every possible way to get a rcsb built? Maybe.

When I was shopping for my Express in Aug last year, none of the express (standard, quad, or crew) had the dual exhaust out the back at the 2 dealers I went to. The dealer I bought my express from had one of every color in every cab configuration, all with the Hemi, and all single exhaust. I dont mind since I bought it to pull my trailer so rather have the exhaust to the side.

On comparing those two above it looks like you have to have the "Express value Package" to get the duals and the 20" wheels the red truck doesnt have it its a base express with 17" wheels and side exhaust. My 2014 truck is equipped about the same as that black 2019 (I have the 6 spd column shift) and stickered for 10 grand LESS I cant believe 40 grand for that black one...makes my deal all that much sweeter

Was starting to wonder if I was the only person on this forum who prefers single exhaust to dual exhaust. If I were buying a 2019 Classic, I'd LOVE to get the single, side exhaust vs. the duals with bumper cutouts.

The practical person in me has always hated single exhaust systems that split into duals (or quads!) Extra plumbing adds weight but doesn't add horsepower or improve fuel economy. Aesthetically, I also feel less is more. A smooth, non-cut out bumper looks way better IMHO.

Some one else said you get it with the 20" wheels. I have 20" wheels and side exhaust.

I recently purchased a 2018 ram harvest edition, I did a lot of car shopping in NYC and Long Island area and saw a lot of 2018 Rams with Express package that had the 5.7 and single exhaust.

Sorry to bump an old post but it was driving me nuts not knowing what exhaust setup I'd be getting until I finally got a vin a checked my build sheet lol

Canadian 19 classic RCSB 2wd Express ordered June 19th. Hemi/8speed 27j + wheel and sound + express black accents got me dual exhaust and labeled as a "1500 Classic Express Blackout"

It only shows duals on the build sheet not on the window sticker.

American trucks I've found with duals it's actually listed on their window stickers under the $2300 Express Value Package.
