Power
The Ram 1500 has a variety of engine options that add to the vehicle’s versatility. These engines include the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with eTorque, 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, 3.6-liter V-6 engine with eTorque, and 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine. Standard on all trims is the 3.6-liter V-6 engine with eTorque. This engine has 305 horsepower and 296 pound-feet of torque.
You do have the option to upgrade to one of the 5.7-liter V-8 engines if you are looking for more power. The 5.7-liter V-8 engines come with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine gets 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque.
Performance
With so much power, the Ram 1500 delivers quality performance when it comes to towing and carrying large loads. The 3.6-liter V-6 engine has a maximum towing capacity of 7,730 pounds. Next is the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, which has a maximum towing capacity of 11,610 pounds. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 moves that towing capacity up to 12,560 pounds while the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with Etorque gives you the best towing capacity of 12,750 pounds.
In addition to high towing capacities, the Ram 1500 also has towing technology that helps you identify vehicles in your blind spot. With Rear Cross Path and Automatic Trailer Detection, the technology scans blind spot zones behind your truck so that switching lanes is safer with an attached trailer.
Design
An exciting feature that is available on the Ram 1500 is a multifunction tailgate. The tailgate has 60/40 split swing-away doors that can open 88-degrees or swing down like a traditional tailgate. There is also a Rambox cargo management system that offers additional storage in the back of the truck. The compartment is lockable, weatherproof, and has drainable bins so that you can carry ice inside the storage compartments.
