Default 4 Speed Auto with a Hemi???

Well it's time to look for a another truck, wrote off my BABY the other day . Anyway, found what looks like a good deal on a really nice 2007 SLT Quad with the 5.7 Hemi but the trans seems to be a 4 speed auto. Everywhere I do research it says that it should be a 5 speed auto. Is this a "misprint", if not does anyone know how the 4 speed matches with the Hemi, good/bad? My old 05' was a 5.7 hemi with the 5 speed auto and was great for pulling my holiday trailer.

Thanks everyone...

Argh, hit ice on the Hiway and slamed me into the guardrail. Tell you the truth, not much visible damage considering the speed but it twisted the frame and rear axel a bit so "No Fixie".

They all have the 545 transmission (which is technically a six-speed).

Thanks Mike, figured it was the 545. I'm gonna check it when I'm under the truck when I do the inspection anyway but I wanted to have the facts first.

Happy hunting...

There's no way you wouldn't have the 5spd auto. These trucks are just too complicated for someone to have slapped a 4spd under there without any other signs. The dash would be lit up like a Christmas tree and I doubt the truck would move at all.

I still wish they would have used six properly-spaced gears instead of dedicating one for downshifts only. This truck would be even better and it wouldn't have cost them any extra.
