Tradesman Quadcab 4WD 4.7L("Semi-Hemi")

2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab SB (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
I got the best bang for my buck! I was a Ford guy all the way, but when their prices skyrocketed I had to consider another badge. I shopped around and found the "next gen 4.7" was actually a hemispheric engine with dual spark per cylinder which helps performance and fuel economy. My specific truck came with the Rambox and vinyl "pleather" which is actually plush and very comfortable. The … new rear spring suspension provides the most comfortable full-size truck I've owned. My version seats 6 so the entire family fits comfortably without always taking the Expedition EL we own. I couldn't be happier that "Dodge" or "Ram, got it write finally!
Happy with the MPG and hauling

2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab SB (4.7L 8cyl 6A)
Just got my 4.7 Ram about a month ago and I'm pleasantly surprised. For a large truck it averages alittle over 20mpg on the highway, and 17.5mgp in the city while handling like a car. I burn wood and purchase these large pallets full of wood that the seller says he has weighed at close to 600lbs each. I'm able to fit two into the bed of my truck and can notice only a slight drop to the … truck. Driving with the load isn't bad either. With the 4.7L the truck acclerates smoothly with little to no lag with the load while hauling the wood up to my house in the mountains. The turning radius is great as well helping to navigate through traffic and parking lots. I had a smaller truck recently and this beast is definetly more nimble in tight spots. I would recommend the purchase as a 5 star and if it changes I'll update my review. I have ordered the K&N kit and will have it installed by next week which I'm anticipating better throttle response as well as some improvement to my mpg-we'll see how it goes.
Good Truck
