2023 Ram 1500 Power Options

At the forefront of the Ram 1500 lineup rests the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, renowned for its impressive performance. Generating 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, this powertrain seamlessly pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, available in both rear and four-wheel drive configurations. What sets the Pentastar engine apart is its integration of Ram’s innovative eTorque mild-hybrid technology, which optimizes valve timing to enhance both fuel efficiency and overall performance. With the added advantage of the Trailer Tow Package, the Ram 1500 V6 models can confidently tow up to 7,730 pounds, making it a reliable choice across the majority of the Ram 1500 lineup.

Following the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, the next remarkable engine available across the entire Ram 1500 lineup is the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. This particular powertrain stands as the sole diesel option for the Ram 1500, delivering a robust output of 260 horsepower and an astounding 480 lb-ft of torque. With such capabilities, the EcoDiesel engine empowers the Ram 1500 with an impressive towing capacity of up to 9,600 pounds. Beyond its remarkable towing prowess, the EcoDiesel V6 engine offers drivers an unparalleled driving range, boasting up to 950 miles with a 4×4 configuration and an optional 33-gallon fuel tank. This exceptional range ensures extended journeys without the constant need for refueling, making it a class-leading choice in its segment.

The final engine option available for the entire Ram 1500 lineup is the commanding 5.7-liter HEMI V8. Packing a punch, this engine delivers an impressive 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. As with its counterparts, it is also coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth power delivery. For those seeking remarkable towing capabilities, the HEMI V8 doesn’t disappoint, offering a maximum towing capacity of up to 11,610 pounds when properly equipped. Additionally, there’s an optional variant of the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with eTorque, featuring a mild hybrid system that provides added torque at lower speeds. Despite sharing the same horsepower and torque figures, this variant excels at pulling even heavier loads, boasting a remarkable 12,750-pound towing capacity when equipped with appropriate towing equipment. While available for the entire lineup, the 5.7L HEMI engine is exclusively standard under the hood of the Limited trim.

Exclusively reserved for the awe-inspiring Ram 1500 TRX, lies the supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8. This monster is unlike any other HEMI engine found in the standard Ram 1500 models, as it incorporates forced air induction through a twin-screw supercharger ingeniously attached to the cylinder head. Superchargers are belt-driven forced air induction systems, meticulously designed to deliver a staggering amount of air to the engine, ensuring unparalleled performance. The TRX’s supercharger operates remarkably efficiently, reaching an astounding maximum speed of 14,600 RPMs and unleashing a staggering 11 pounds per square inch of boost. The results are truly mind-blowing, providing the TRX with an extraordinary output of 702 horsepower and a jaw-dropping 650 lb-ft of torque. With such incredible power at its disposal, the TRX accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds, making it a force to be reckoned with on any terrain.
