What transmission is in the new Dodge trucks?

Transmission in New Dodge Trucks
The transmission in the new Dodge trucks varies depending on the specific model and engine type. The Dodge Ram 1500, for example, has been produced since 1994 and features a variety of automatic transmissions designed for performance, towing capacity, and gas mileage. The first generation Dodge Ram 1500 came available with three engines – a 3.9 liter V6, a 5.2 liter V8, and a 5.9 liter V8. Trucks with the 3.9 liter V6 in either 2WD or 4WD, as well as trucks with the 5.2 liter V8 in 2WD, came with the A500/42RH-RE transmission.
For the Ram Cummins diesel trucks, the Chrysler transmission has been identified as the weakest point. Even trucks in stock form have been known to be too powerful for the standard transmission. As a result, modifications are often made to the transmission to make it the strongest and most reliable part of the drivetrain. ATS offers various stages to the Chrysler transmission platform to meet certain power levels and uses, providing options for heavy-duty applications such as towing and high-horsepower requirements.
It’s important to note that the specific transmission in a new Dodge truck can vary based on the model, engine type, and intended use, so it’s recommended to consult with a Dodge dealer or a qualified mechanic for precise information on the transmission in a specific Dodge truck.
