Default Ram truck question about engines

On the ram trucks 2007 to 2012 the 1500 series do they come with the 4.7 motors model SLT. I have been looking on line and seems most have the Hemi. I do not want a Hemi and hope I can get a 4.7 in one of those years I mentioned.

Why would you not want the Hemi? 4.7 has many issues.

I have a 2004 now with a 4.7 and is good on gas I dont need a Hemi gas guzzler. I have a 05 Durango with Hemi and a 2005 Jeep grand Cherokee with a Hemi.
So looking for a newer truck with a 4.7 engine and like I said most seem to have the Hemi making my search a bit slow. I never had any problems with my 04 4.7 with 85k miles

After 06 they came with MDS and starting 09 the hemis had VVT. You call them gas guzzlers but the truth is they get about as good mileage as the 4.7 because it isn't working as hard to move the truck. The 4.7 after 08 was redesigned and upped to 310hp.
