Ram: What's New for 2011

Ram: What's New for 2011
What's New for Every 2011 Ram Truck

2011 Dodge Dakota: Yes, the Dakota is still called a Dodge, even though the brand has been renamed Ram, which is also currently the name of the only other vehicle the brand sells. But none of that really matters because 2011 represents the final year for the not-quite-full-size Dakota anyway. And in its final year the Dakota comes with standard side curtain airbags and antilock brakes. It's also now available with Hunter Green Pearl and Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearl paint. Our choice would be the latter, since we like all five of the things in its name.

2011 Ram 1500: The Ramiest of Rams, the Ram pickup truck is not substantially changed for 2011 (it was all-new not long ago, remember). There are a couple of new trim levels. One is the Outdoorsman, which combines trailer towing upgrades with off-road hardware to create a Ram that's equipped for hunting and fishing right off the lot. It replaces the TRX4 trim level. Ram has also introduced the Laramie Longhorn edition, which is the cowboy-fanciest pickup you ever did see. It's got two-tone exterior paint, many badges, leather seats with cowboy-filigree detailing and seatback pockets that look something like saddlebags. Intended to compete with Ford's King Ranch F-150, the Longhorn also comes with a very long list of standard equipment. Ram 1500s can be had in two new colors, Hunter Green and Deep Cherry Red, and are offered with a new Garmin navigation system and power folding mirrors.

2011 Ram 2500/3500: The heavy-duty Rams also get versions of the Outdoorsman and Laramie Longhorn (what is it with these people and steer anyway?) to complement the SLT, Power Wagon and Laramie trim lines. There are new interior colors and two new exterior colors (Hunter Green and Deep Cherry Red) along with new wheel options. A spray-in bedliner is now available as well.
