While afresh cutting some buried Chrysler and Hyundai prototypes, Automotive Traveler's Rich Truesdell came beyond several absolutely apparent Ram 1500 pickups the added day.
Upon afterpiece examination, I ample out why: They are near-production-ready versions of the accounted 2-Mode Amalgam version. Judging by the complete abridgement of cloaking, I'd accept they are ability final validation, possibly to authorize their appear tow ratings. Don't be afraid if the Ram is an early-introduction 2012 archetypal to ability showrooms in the spring.
We've talked about these amalgam pickups before, and if a agenda acquaint at Allpar is to be believed, Chrysler will bang off assembly of this new Ram 1500 Amalgam on November 16, so they may be badged as MY2011 Ram 1500 Hemi Hybrids and not MY2012 as Rich supposes. Either way, the amalgam Ram is accepted to apply the aforementioned 5.7-liter Hemi V8, two-mode amalgam powertrain that was acclimated in the brief Dodge Durango/Chrysler Aspen hybrids in 2008, backed by a manual supplied to Chrysler by General Motors. Accepted breadth ratings should be agnate to GM's amalgam trucks, with a burghal cardinal of about 21 to 22 mpg
