Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The RAM 1500 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the RAM 1500 Classic, which has a much lower MSRP.

Utility
You'll be able to bring along a larger crew with the RAM 1500 than the RAM 1500 Classic, due to its significantly greater seating capacity.
