When I bought my truck, the dealership website said it was a Classic Warlock. Many websites I used to search my VIN say either Classic Warlock or Classic SLT. It's a 2021 1500 Classic but not sure exactly which one it's considered. I just got the recall alert and when checking, CarFax calls it a Warlock while NHTSA calls it a SLT.

Pretty sure the warlock is just a special edition of the SLT. I had one at work not too long ago and it also came up as an SLT.
I'll look more into it. When I bought it, he seemed confused when I mentioned the website labeled it a Warlock. I'm more confused getting different answers from various websites.

My '21 Warlock is often referred to as an SLT.

The build sheet has both identifications, IIRC.

I have the info on my PC, I will check tomorrow, using the stupid phone now. :cool:

Confirmed: the VIN decoder spec list for my truck is titled;

Vehicle Description 2021 RAM 1500 SLT QUAD CAB 4X4

Listed under optional equipment are the following items;
Warlock
WARLOCK INTERIOR ACCENTS

^^^ this
The SLT is the base trim the Warlock is built on, the BigHorn and Outdoorsman are also built on the SLT trim level.

I haven't seen the Warlock inside but the outside looks simlar to me, other than not having the Warlock logo.
The black wheel flares or whatever they are called and the 1 inch lift & different bumper is all I see in a warlock

On the classic, which is a 4th gen.

Appearance package is the 4th gen rebel front end, blacked out front and rear flares and bumpers. Parking sensors and no active grill shutters are major differences. The non etorque hemi or the v6 are available. The off road package as mentioned includes the 1 inch raised ride height and all skid plates including the elusive gas tank skid plate.

Interior is all SLT, except you can upgrade to the 8.4 with Android audio and Apple carplay and you can get 100% of the laramie options except leather seats, cooled seats and leather dash. Everything else is available as an option.

You can also get HUD, land departure warnings and the cruise control automatic braking. I think its called forward collision avoidance.

You can select 17, 18 (offroad tires. 33s) or 20 inch wheels (goodyear street tires), non folding tow mirrors or regular, non color matched and either a 3.21, 3.55 or 3.92 gear ratio. Limited slip is also an option.

Tow package is an option an if you select towing you get 3.92 as part of the option with upgraded cooling.

The Warlock if you take the time to build one is a very capable package for around $50k US.

Stepping up to a higher trim level gets you nothing except leather.

PS Katzkin leather for the seats is available for about 1800 US installed. Looks just like laramie leather.

A warlock can cost upwards of 60,000 for the classic, I fully built one before. My tradesman that has every option pretty much was 50,000

100% disagree with you. My 2024 warlock was ~$52k fully optioned with everything except sunroof, lane departure, hud and forward collision, picked up new and had 13 miles.

Mark Dodge in Lake charles. Great dealer very fair price. Cash purchase no trade.

Not talking sticker price, out the door.

I have a 2023 Classic Warlock but I receive mail from Chrysler and they refer to it as an SLT.
