Performance
The iconic Ram 1500 provides you with plenty of engine options to choose from, each with excellent performance. You are free to choose between the V6 and the legendary supercharged V8 engine, depending on your desired power outputs and fuel efficiency. The new Ram truck comes in a standard rear-wheel drive, with the option of four-wheel drive in certain trims to help put down the power effectively. In the 3.6-liter V6 hybrid option, you will experience excellent bursts of power coupled with fuel efficiency. With the 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, driving across highways outside of Kenner is effortless while returning EPA-estimated economy figures of up to 24 miles per gallon on the highway.
The 3.0-liter turbocharged option makes incredible torque and horsepower, with up to 410 pound-feet of torque and 295 horsepower. Consequently, towing your farm equipment in a trailer is easy, and the acceleration along highways is effortless. Incredibly, the 5.7-liter V8 mild hybrid provides you with decent fuel consumption ratings, with an EPA-estimated 20 miles per gallon on city driving. The Ram has a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 that also delivers great performance figures. You will enjoy up to 650 pound-feet of torque and an equally impressive 702 horsepower, making the new 1500 more potent than some muscle cars. Acceleration is at its height in the Ram TRX package, taking you seconds to reach top speeds.
