2024 Ram 1500 Engine Options

Kicking off the engine lineup for the most recent iteration of the Ram 1500 is the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine. This robust engine delivers a potent 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. It seamlessly integrates with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which empowers both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. The Pentastar engine leverages Ram's innovative eTorque mild-hybrid technology to optimize valve timing, thereby enhancing fuel efficiency and overall performance. For those equipped with the Trailer Tow Package, Ram 1500 V6 models can confidently tow up to 7,730 pounds. The V6 engine serves as the standard engine for most of the Ram 1500 lineup.

Rounding out the engine options available for the entire Ram 1500 lineup is the famed 5.7L HEMI V8 engine. In the 2024 model year, all Ram 1500 V8 variants use the previously optional 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque. The eTorque system is a mild hybrid system that uses a 48-volt electric motor in place of the traditional alternator to produce more torque at lower speeds, resulting in a greater towing capacity. This formidable powerhouse delivers an impressive 395 horsepower and a robust 410 lb-ft of torque. The V8 engine comes paired with the same 8-speed automatic transmission as the rest of the lineup. However, when properly configured, it offers the highest towing capacity in the lineup, pulling up to 12,750 pounds!  It's worth noting that while this engine is available across all trim levels, it comes as standard under the hood of the Limited trim level.

The final engine option available for the Ram 1500 is exclusively reserved for the Ram 1500 TRX. Lifting the high-performance hood of the TRX, you'll uncover a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 originally designed for the Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat models. Unlike the aforementioned naturally-aspirated 5.7L HEMI, the TRX adopts forced air induction courtesy of a twin-screw supercharger affixed to the cylinder head. Superchargers, as belt-driven forced air induction systems, are engineered to deliver optimal performance by supplying the engine with increased airflow. Remarkably, the TRX's supercharger can reach an astounding maximum speed of 14,600 RPMs and generate an astonishing 11 pounds per square inch of boost. This prodigious setup equips the TRX with an awe-inspiring 702 horsepower and a formidable 650 lb-ft of torque, propelling it from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds and to a top speed of 118 MPH!
