Ram 2500 SLT: Powerful Engine Options

The basis of any pickup truck worth its salt is a powerful engine. The Ram 2500 SLT scores very well in this category. It offers three powerful engine options that all have the muscle it takes to get the job done.  

1. 5.7L HEMI® VVT V8: This standard engine utilizes Variable Valve Timing technology (VVT) to boost both torque and efficiency. This is evident in its performance ratings. The 5.7L HEMI® engine delivers 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. And remember, that's standard.         
2. 6.4L HEMI® V8: If the job requires even more power, upgrade to the available 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine with fuel-saver technology. This workhorse ups the ante in terms of power, with 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque.
3. 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel I6: 370 horsepower. 800 lb-ft of torque. The available 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel I6 engine is where rubber meets the road for the Ram 2500 SLT. Need we say any more?
