Question 2011 vs 2012 2500

The time is nearing for me to buy my truck and I have been giving alot of thought to getting a 2011 with low miles than a 2012 off the lot.

Are there any changes made between the 2011 and 2012?

I will be getting everything my signature says in the truck.

If anyone can shed some light on this subject it will be greatly appreciated. I had performed a search but it did not yield the results I was hoping for. I know going with a low mileage 2011 will help aleviate some of the unnecessary cost for a new truck. If there are major changes or even minor changes that will affect me then I will go with the 2012.

Thanks for your continous help

The 2011, the 2011.5-2012 have some major differences.

The 2011.5 and 2012 is the way to go.

Stronger torque converter, better computer programming.

If you go with the deletes and an H&S then you will have a stronger converter to handle the power. Plus better re-sale

Didnt set auto in the sig.


Go HO. H&S already has the programming out for the 2012's so I get the best deal on the newest truck I can.

I know the 2012 put the cruise on the steering wheel vs the stick under the steering wheel. Not sure on other changes other than the HO.
