2012 Ram 1500 Review - MotorTrend Magazine
Ram has created a new entry-level model for 2012 called the Ram Tradesman which offers Hemi V-8 power in a truck with a low price of admission. Other 2012 Ram changes include six new paint colors, a new steering wheel, and the proliferation of the RamBox throughout the lineup - among other things. The 1500 is available with three engine options, two transmissions, two drivetrain configurations, three cab configurations, and three bed lengths. Only available on the Ram 1500 ST in rear-drive with a four-speed automatic, the base engine is a 3. 7-liter V-6 that produces 215 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque. The Ram 1500 is available as a Regular, Quad, and Crew Cab, with an 8'0", 6'4", or 5'7" bed. Ram has included many new changes into the 2012 1500 lineup. Also new is the Ram 1500 Mossy Oak Edition which features camouflaged trim, and the expansion of the Ram Express model to include Crew and Quad Cab configurations. Ram is also expanding the availability of its clever RamBox cargo system so that all Quad and Crew, and short bed Regular Cabs can have the system, and offering a factory-applied spray-in bed liner on all models.
