Engine Options and Efficiency
Able to start early and run all day long, the Ram 1500 is uniquely suited to go from the hard-hitting work truck to comfortable family adventurer without skipping a beat.
Supplying two powerful engine choices to suit your individual needs, drivers can expect a truck which delivers a smooth and stable performance:
Engine | Horsepower | Torque | EPA-estimated MPG |
3.6L Pentastar® V6 | 305 | 269 lb-ft | 17 city/25 highway |
5.7L HEMI® V8 | 395 | 410 lb-ft | 15 city/22 highway |
Whichever engine or trim level you ultimately choose, each comes mated to a TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission along with a mild hybrid system for conserving fuel when traveling at low RPMs. Each of its engines also are engineered with special cylinder deactivation technology which automatically turns on whenever the vehicle is at a full-stop.
These features, along with built-in Variable Valve Timing and a standard 26-gallon fuel tank, all combine to help the Ram 1500 earn a Best-in-Class available V8 4X4 combined fuel economy. Now, you can spend a lot more time tracking the miles and exploring new areas without having to make as many stops at the pump.
Tips on How to Take Your Journey Farther
Despite its special engineering and technology, the best way to minimize your visits to the gas station is to follow a few simple guidelines when traveling around town, including:
• Rotating your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles. Worn or damaged tires place extra burden on your truck's engine, which often leads to it burning fuel faster. It's also a smart idea to check the PSI levels in your ties at least once a month to make sure they're properly inflated.
• Changing your oil every 5,000-10,000 miles. Motor oil is a crucial component to your vehicle's engine, and if not replaced, can have adverse effects on both your performance and efficiency standards.
• Limiting Extra Weight. Despite its impressive hauling capability, when not on route to the next job site or campground, try to limit the amount of extra weight you carry inside the truck bed. This extra weight can end up burning a significant amount of extra fuel.
