The all-new 2009 Ram 1500 sported an evolution of the truck’s recognizable big-rig look, and the rear suspension switched from leaf to coil springs. For 2012, the pickup’s name changed from the Dodge Ram 1500 to the Ram 1500. Model-year 2013 brought a series of updates, including a new 3.6-liter V-6 engine, an available eight-speed automatic transmission and an optional four-corner air suspension. A new turbo-diesel V-6 was offered for 2014.
