Power and Performance

The 2018 Ram 1500 is powered by three available engines:

• The standard 3.6L V6 produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.
• The available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 generates 240 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
• The available 5.7L HEMI® V6 delivers 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.

With the standard 8-speed automatic transmission, too, the Ram 1500 will have superior acceleration and control on the roads. Plus, the five-link coil spring rear suspension uses exclusive spring intelligence to help reduce overall grating in the system without interfering with the strong towing ability. This makes the turning ability and the whole ride better, while giving more confidence to the driver to take on any surface.
