Power and Performance: Engine Options in Ram Trucks
When it comes to power, Ram Trucks are renowned for their exceptional capabilities. These trucks are equipped with a range of engines that deliver the necessary horsepower and torque to handle any task. Let's look into the engine options available in the latest generation of Ram Trucks.
Ram 1500 Engine Options
The base engine for most Ram 1500 trims is the Chrysler Pentastar 3.6-liter V6. This engine generates an impressive 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. The engine is enhanced with an eTorque system. This mild hybrid system includes a motor-generator that adds 12 horsepower and 39 pound-feet of torque to the engine's performance.
Another option available for the Ram 1500 is the Chrysler HEMI 5.7-liter V8 engine. This powerful V8 engine generates an impressive 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. To optimize fuel efficiency, this engine uses a cylinder deactivation system that deactivates half of the cylinders during low-demand situations.
Ram Heavy Duty Engine Options:
With the Ram Heavy Duty lineup, two impressive engine options are available.
The first is the HEMI 6.4-liter V8 gasoline engine. This robust engine delivers a powerful 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque.
For those seeking exceptional towing and hauling capabilities, the Cummins turbodiesel 6.7-liter inline-6 engine is an ideal choice. This engine generates an impressive 400 horsepower, an increase of 15 horsepower from its predecessor. The torque has also been enhanced to a maximum of 1,000 pound-feet, up by 70 pound-feet from the previous model.
A 3.0-liter EcoDiesel turbocharged diesel V6 was available for the models between 2020 and 2022. However, this engine option was discontinued in January 2023.
