Legendary Monster Engine
The Ram 1500 tows up to 12,750 pounds and has a max payload of 2,300 pounds. How? At its heart is one of the most legendary engines in automotive history: the HEMI. It's a highly efficient engine with a hemispherical combustion chamber, a supreme race car engine. The Ram 1500's HEMI is:
- 5.7-Liter Displacement
- 395 Horsepower
- 410 lb.-ft. of Torque
- Equipped with eTorque
Ram's eTorque is a Mild Hybrid Technology System. The system entails a large battery pack that contributes extra torque and additional energy from brake regeneration.
All-Steel Frame
Roughly 98 percent high-strength steel comprises the Ram 1500 frame. The steel has a pounds per square inch rating of 50,000 pounds, meaning the Ram 1500 frame withstands 50,000 pounds per square inch before it breaks apart. This contributes to its high towing, payload and its exceptional crashworthiness.
