While we are still waiting for the official confirmation, various reports on the internet suggest that the new model will use a 10-speed unit from Allison. That’s why the 2022 Dodge Ram 3500 transmission is the main object of rumors these days. On the other side, the diesel model relies on a well-known 6-speed unit from Aisin, a sturdy and durable unit that, on the other side, isn’t as refined as 10-speed units from rivals.

Of course, this refers to the diesel version only, considering that the gasoline model uses an excellent 8-speed ZF-sourced automatic gearbox, which is probably the best in the class. Without any doubt, the biggest possible novelty for the next year is a new transmission. FCA needs to get production back up to pre-Covid before they go making massive changes to a 3 year old model in my opinion.2022 Dodge Ram 3500 Could Get New Transmission I doubt you’ll see anything new for 2022 model year. Until then, my 2016 is nice enough for me. In any way, as soon as FCA offers a new transmission behind the Cummins and the panoramic sunroof option, I’ll be doing my first custom ordered vehicle. I’d rather see a ZF 8 speed myself, others want to see FCA match GM and Ford with their 10 speeds but that seems excessive in my opinion. I know Allison and ZF are testing behind the Cummins. No more of this HO vs SO and each having their own transmission nonsense. Personally I want them to swap to the 1500 cab just so I can have the panoramic sunroof.Īs for transmissions, hopefully FCA just offers onsolid transmission. Some fear that by swapping to the 1500 cab that the Megacab option will go the way of the G56 transmission. I doubt they would offer any type of larger quad cab, as they already have the crew cab option. At that point a quad cab would be possible I guess, although I don’t see why they would offer it since they could have done that on the 4th Gen trucks and elected not to. General consensus is that eventually FCA will put the current 1500 cab on the HD Chassis. The rumor of when Ram is swapping to a new cab has swirled since the 2019s came out.
