A Ram Dealership’s Secrets of the Powerhouse on Wheels: 2024 Ram 1500

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 (4×2 and 4×4), 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. Schedule your test drive today at Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram North in Sherman, TX.
