Engine Options & Performance
The 2023 Ram 1500 has multiple engine options, including a standard gasoline V6, an optional diesel V6, and an array of powerful V8s. The standard 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 with eTorque engine provides great output figures of 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque + 90 lb-ft of launch torque. Although the standard V6 is adequate for most, upgrading to the 5.7-litre HEMI V8 engine increases this Ram's output to 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. A 5.7-litre HEMI V8 engine with eTorque is also available, delivering the same power and torque while benefiting from an extra 130 lb-ft of launch torque.
