Unleashing the Power Behind the 2024 RAM 1500
When it comes to performance-ready power, the RAM 1500 knows how to deliver. However, with three legendary engines designed to deliver top-of-the-line performance, the choice might be harder than you think.
5.7L Hemi V8 Engine with eTorque
Offering 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft. of eTorque technology, this engine offers the best in performance and efficiency. With the addition of an available extra 130 lb.-ft. of torque, this engine offers a best-in-class max hybrid towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds!
3.6L Pentastar V6 Engine with eTorque
The 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque utilizes wide-range variable valve timing and two-step variable valve lift to deliver 269 lb.-ft. of torque and 305 horsepower–even in the standard model. Talk about powerful!
Supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8 Engine
Saving what may be deemed the best–or at least the most powerful–for last is the Supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8 engine. Capable of reaching 0-60 MPH in an incredible 4.5 seconds, this engine delivers best-in-class horsepower and torque at 702 and 650, respectively.
