Powerful Engines

No matter what size RAM truck you choose, you can be sure that you will get a capable engine. The RAM 1500 is available with the choice of a 3.6L Pentastar V6 gas engine with Class-Exclusive eTorque mild-hybrid powertrain, a 3.0L EcoDiesel V6, and two HEMI V8 options. The RAM 2500 and 3500 both offer a standard 410 horsepower 6.4-liter V8. An available variant of a Cummins diesel engine is available on the 2500 or 3500 and produces 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. An upgraded variant is available only for the 3500 and produces 400 horsepower and 1075 lb-ft of torque.

Smart Towing Technology

The engine you select for your RAM Truck will greatly impact the overall towing capacity, but drivers should not overlook the effect of the towing technology.

RAM truck towing technologies include the following systems to boost towing capacity:

• Forward Collision Warning System – This system senses when a vehicle in front of the driver slows and will simultaneously provide alerts with both visual and audio warnings while activating the brakes.
• Trailer Reverse Steering Control – This available feature simplifies the trailer reversing process by allowing the driver to use the trailer steering knob to control the trailer’s direction as they back up while controlling the steering wheel.
• Trailer Tow Mirrors with Spotter Lamps – The available trailer tow mirrors with spotter lamps offer a wider and clearer view when towing a trailer.
• Air Suspension System – This system levels the body of the truck during use and makes it easy to hitch up gooseneck, fifth wheel, and conventional trailers.
• Cargo View and Back-up Cameras – These display views on the central infotainment display to assist with properly lining up a hitch and trailer.
• Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection – This advanced system automatically senses the length of the trailer and scans the blind spot zones beside and behind the vehicle.

Additional systems on RAM trucks that support towing include electronic stability, trailer sway control, adaptive cruise control, trailer tire pressure monitoring, and electronic roll mitigation.
