Like every Ram dealership, we see a lot of great cars and trucks come through our lot. But there's something about the 2024 Ram 1500 that makes it a dealership favorite. And when we look at the engine lineup for this model year, it's easy to see why. Coming in at a substantial eight trim levels, two drivetrains (4x2 and 4x4), two cab configurations (both quad cab and crew cab), two box sizes (5'7" or 6'4" long), and three engine sizes, there's a Ram 1500 for every buyer. But however you choose to configure your 1500, you'll be settling into a powerhouse of a truck, and each will have plenty of power to accomplish your needs. The Pentastar 3.6-Liter V6 Doesn't Disappoint Clocking in at 305 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, the base engine for the Ram 1500 is a powerhouse in its own right. In fact, this engine trim offers best-in-class Max Available Hybrid Payload of up to 2,300 pounds. The 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 Takes It To the Next Level Buyers who choose to upgrade to the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 will be rewarded, first and foremost with additional horsepower and torque. This engine trim offers up to 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. But that's not all. When combined with the 98% hardened-steel frame built into every 1500 chassis, the 5.7-liter engine offers best-in-class Available Max Hybrid Towing Capacity of up to 12,750 pounds, making it a towing champion. Powerful eTorque Technology Makes Everything Better Ram decided to equip both the 3.6-liter V6 and the 5.7-liter V8 engines with a mild hybrid technology called eTorque. This innovative technology does something pretty unique in the world of hybrids: it manages to improve both performance and fuel efficiency at the same time. The 6.2-Liter HEMI V8 Is Supercharged for Superb Acceleration If you think a pickup truck would lose to a muscle car in a zero-to-sixty on ramp race, then you haven't met this year's Ram 1500. The 6.2-liter HEMI V8 is exclusive to the TRX trim to the 1500, but it packs a punch that will put a grin on your face as it pushes you back in your seat. This power plant is the most powerful factory-installed motor in its class. It eschews the eTorque system in favor of a twin-screw supercharger, outputting a head-turning 702 horsepower and heart-pounding 650 lb-ft of torque. That's enough to catapult the TRX from zero to sixty in just 4.5 seconds, which is better than some "muscle cars" we could name. A powerhouse like the Ram 1500 has to be experienced to be believed.

Whether you're looking for a pickup for work or play, the 2023 RAM 1500 easily tackles both with reliable engine performance and available four-wheel drive. Along with a stylish exterior, a comfortable cabin, and a wide range of productivity and entertainment features, this edition offers the following five impressive features that we know you'll appreciate once you get behind the wheel. 1. A 950-Mile EcoDiesel V6 Although this edition of the RAM 1500 provides plenty of muscular engine options, the EcoDiesel V6 is arguably the most impressive among them because it combines strong horsepower with excellent fuel economy. Along with 260 horses and 480 pound-feet of torque, this 3.0-liter engine allows the truck to get an estimated 950 miles down the road on a single tank of gas in 4×4 models: a feat no other pickups in this class can compete with. 2. Infotainment in Full Color With an immersive 12-inch full-color touchscreen, the Uconnect 5 NAV system has everything you could want in an infotainment system. Hands-free calling, detailed navigation instructions with maps, multimedia playback options, and the ability to save user profiles and personalized settings are all offered by this convenient system, making every drive more enjoyable for all. 3. A Smart Cruise Control While traditional cruise controls are certainly convenient on long journeys, this truck's Adaptive Cruise Control takes things to the next level by automating more of the driving process. After selecting a specific speed, this system controls engine torque to keep you moving along at that speed, yet it also controls braking to help keep you distanced from other vehicles in front of you when necessary. 4. A Multifunction Tailgate While this pickup is perfect for play, it's also designed for work, and its multifunction tailgate is a perfect example of that. Loading cargo is made simpler with its swing-away doors and remote access function, and if you need a tough work surface for performing tasks on, it can support up to 2,000 pounds of weight. 5. First-Class Seating Options Despite its rugged exterior, this pickup is both stylish and comfortable inside, with many luxurious seating options available, like power-reclining seats with both heating and cooling settings and your choice between different fabrics, including stylish vinyl and Natura Plus leather. Plenty of convenience is also offered, with the 60/40 split-folding seat allowing you to free up extra space for cargo by flipping it fully or partially down as needed. Few full-size trucks come close to the RAM 1500's performance, and with this edition, you have a wide array of impressive tech and interior options as well.

The 2023 RAM 2500 doubles as both a dependable work truck and a fun-loving off-roader, as it delivers exceptional engine performance alongside available four-wheel drive. It's also ideal for families and group road trips with its spacious, comfortable cabin that seats up to six, while its pioneering tech features provide safety and convenience on every journey. Engines and Versatility This edition of the RAM 2500 gives you two stunning engines to choose from: a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 and a 6.7-liter turbo-diesel I6. While the V8 offers 410 horsepower and is sure to meet most needs when using its 4,000-pound payload rating and 17,730-pound maximum towing capacity for heavy workloads, the 370-pound turbo diesel provides excellent fuel economy while offering even more towing strength with its 19,980-pound capacity. You also have your choice between either rear- or four-wheel drive with this truck. However, if opting for a 4x4-equipped model, additional off-roading capabilities can be found in both the Power Wagon and Rebel trims, which offer trail-enhanced shock systems, a winch for getting the truck out of muddy situations if you need it, and many other extras. Comforts and Design This 2500's interior is both stylish and accommodating, with heated and ventilated front-row seats available, as well as heated rear seats that can be quickly folded down and leather trim throughout. The real wood and aluminum accents that line the interior give it a sophisticated look, while the advanced air filtration system helps reduce airborne particles. Outside the vehicle, the bed is more than ready for cargo with the available RAMBox Cargo Management System and a tailgate that comes with a power-release function. Climbing in and out of the cabin is easy with the power-operated side running boards, and for wide-angled views of the area around your trailer, there are the telescoping trailer-tow mirrors. Technology and Safety The many innovative tech and safety features available with this edition are also sure to impress, like the 360-degree camera system, which makes parking and towing simpler by showing you your immediate surroundings in full color. With the Uconnect 5 NAV infotainment system, it's your choice whether you'd prefer to use its responsive touchscreen or voice recognition function to control music, navigation assistance, in-vehicle apps, driver preference settings, and phone calls. The rain-sensing windshield wipers are also convenient, as they automatically turn on and off as needed when rain droplets are detected, while Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking helps detect when collisions are imminent and warns you of this before fully stopping the vehicle if you can't respond. Offering muscular engine performance, first-class interior comforts, and all the technology you could dream of in a heavy-duty pickup, the 2023 edition of the RAM 2500 has it all.
