2012 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 215-horsepower 3.7L V6
4-speed automatic RWD
I was disappointed that this truck didn't meet my expectations but my dealer was very generous. They paid my remaining loan and traded me for a 2012 model basically takeing my truck back and (without charging me) put what I paid on my old truck to my new one that made it possible for me to upgrade big time. I saved over five grand towards my new truck. My new loan is 21k instead of 38k for my new Ram sport. I'm still scratching my head on this. Traded my 2011 Ram ST V6 ext cab. Base price at 26k new. And bought this new truck 2012 Ram 1500 sport hemi V8 Crew cab. Base price 36k. My current loan is at $21,300. Someone wasn't paing attention. see full Ram 1500 review
