Changes to the 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 involve new trim packages and upgraded accessories. Also new is the Laramie Longhorn package, the 2011 Dodge Ram 1500’s luxury-minded answer to the plush Ford F-150 King Ranch and GMC Sierra Denali models. Newly offered features include power folding heated side mirrors, a new navigation system, and a factory spray-on cargo-bed liner.
The 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 styling is the same as the 2010 Ram 1500’s. The 2011 Ram 1500 comes in three cab styles: a two-door regular cab, an extended-length Quad Cab with two small rear doors, and the longer Crew Cab body with four conventional doors. The regular cab rides a 120.5-inch wheelbase and offers cargo-bed lengths of 6.3 feet and 8 feet. The 2011 Ram 1500 Quad Cab and Crew Cab use a 140.5-inch wheelbase. The Quad Cab has the 6.3-foot cargo box.
The "2011 Ram 1500" returns a broad range of trim levels, from work-truck basic ST, better equipped SLT, lively Sport, and the luxury Laramie. Added to the SLT trim level for model-year 2011 is an Outdoorsman package that replaces the previous TRX version and includes assorted off-road upgrades. The 2011 Ram 1500 remains the only full-size pickup to use coil-springs instead of leaf springs in conjunction with its solid rear axle. Payload varies by body style, bed, and engine, but the 2011 Ram 1500’s payload ratings range from 1,340 pounds to 1,860. Heavier-duty versions of these pickups are also available. The Dodge Ram 2500, for example, falls into the three-quarter-ton category and the Ram 3500 into the one-ton category. The Ram 3500 has a payload ceiling of 5,130 pounds and can tow up to 17,500 pounds.
The 2011 Ram 1500 trim configurations start with ST and SLT designations, ascend through Outdoorsman and Sport trims, and top-off with the Laramie. The Laramie is available as a Quad Cab and Crew Cab only; other Ram trims are available in all three cab styles. Technically, the Outdoorsman is a package available on SLT models and replaces the TRX version; it includes assorted off-road upgrades. Also new is the Longhorn package for Laramie models. The 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 is available with an advanced new four-wheel-drive system but carries over the 2010 Ram 1500’s engine lineup. The V-6 is available only in two-wheel-drive (2wd) Rams and comes with an aged four-speed automatic transmission.
We recommend one of the V-8s available in the 2011 Ram 1500. Choices begin with a 4.7-liter V-8 rated at 310 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. Dodge was preparing to introduce a 2011 Ram 1500 Hybrid model but canceled the plan before production began. Like all full-size pickups, the 2011 Ram 1500 is based on a rear-wheel-drive design. Referred to in this context as two-wheel drive (2wd), rear-drive is an advantage when the cargo bed is full and there’s traction-enhancing weight over the wheels that also propel the truck. Full-time 4wd had been standard only on the Ram 1500’s top-line Laramie model. Moreover, the full-time 4wd system is Chrysler’s new Active Transfer Case and Front-axle Disconnect setup. The system seamlessly transitions between 2wd and full-tine 4wd without driver intervention by disconnecting the front wheels from the drivetrain in order to reduce friction and rotational inertia. The Ram 1500’s previous full-time 4wd system did not feature this disconnect. Both Ram 1500 4wd systems include low-range gearing for off-road use.
The 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 continues to expand on an already broad choice of trim levels and options packages. Also added is the 2011 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn edition. The 2011 Ram 1500 is offered with an impressive array of cargo and convenience amenities. Unfortunately it’s offered only on Crew Cab models.
