Powerhouse Performance: HEMI Engines

HEMI engines pack a serious punch, equipping RAM trucks to handle even the toughest tasks. With a hemispherical combustion chamber and dome-shaped cylinders, this set-up has less surface area than traditional gasoline engines – so it loses less heat/energy and produces more power. Choose one of the following:

5.7L HEMI V8 Engine with Etorque

This heavy-duty engine boasts heavy-hauling strength, featured beneath the hood of various 2023 RAM 1500 trims – like the Limited, Limited Longhorn, Laramie, Rebel, Big Horn, and Tradesman. This powerful HEMI engine cranks out 410 pound-feet of torque, 395 horsepower, and a maximum towing capacity of 11,330 pounds. 

6.4L HEMI V8 Engine 

This even beefier HEMI engine is housed in the 2023 RAM 2500, pairing with an eight-speed automatic transmission to excel on the job site. Available in four trims – the Power Wagon, Laramie, Big Horn, and Tradesman – this engine option generates 429 pound-feet of torque, 410 horsepower, and a maximum towing capacity of 17,410 pounds.

Rugged Reliability: Diesel Engines

Diesel engines offer plenty of perks, like rapid acceleration, impressive towing capacity, and unmatched durability. While diesels’ combustion process is similar to other internal combustion engines, it differs as the piston moves to the top of the cylinder. Faster compression equates to more power, and thanks to their rugged design, diesel engines tend to outlast other gas engines.

3.0L EcoDiesel V6 Engine
Five trims of the2023 RAM 1500 offer this efficient engine option, including the Limited Long Hord, Laramie, Rebel, Big Horn, and Tradesman. The V6 delivers 269 pound-feet of torque, 305 horsepower, and a max towing of 7,510 pounds.

6.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 Engine

This turbo diesel option equips the 2023 RAM 2500 for the road ahead, pairing heavy-duty trucks with heavy-hauling capabilities. Available in the Limited, Limited Long Horn, Laramie, Big Horn, and Tradesman, the Cummins I6 generates an incredible 850 pound-feet of torque and 370 horsepower. Payload maxes out at 2,790 pounds, while towing capacity peaks at an impressive 19,980 pounds. 

High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 Engine

Much of the 2023 RAM 3500 line-up is available with this high-output turbo diesel option, equipping Limited, Limited LongHorn, Laramie, Big Horn, and Tradesman trims to tow up to 34,650 pounds with ease! Plus, you’ll enjoy 1,075 pound-feet of torque, 420 horsepower, and a max payload of 6,120 pounds.
