The 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 isn’t expected to change dramatically compared to the 2011 Dodge Ram Pickup. Rumors abound regarding what specific changes will be introduced, but the most talked about change is the possible addition of Chrysler’s 3.6-liter “Pentastar” V-6.
Dodge Ram 1500 Performance Features
By all indications, the Dodge Ram 1500 won’t have any other noticeable changes over the 2011 model. The 4 speed and 5 speed automatic transmission will likely remain as standard mating with the V6 and V8, respectively, with no choice offered for a manual transmission. A full-time 4wd system, which transitions between 2wd and 4wd automatically to allow driving on dry pavement, will continue to be an option.
