2022 RAM colossal power

The RAM truck can be equipped with several different engines, depending on your needs when it comes to power and performance. 

The first comes standard on all entry-level versions, the RAM 1500 Big Horn and Tradesman, and consists of a 3.6 L Pentastar VVT V6 with 305 horsepower and 410 lb-ft. maximum torque.

As an option for entry-level versions and standard on all superior versions, beginning with the 2022 RAM 1500 Sport, you will find a 5.7 L HEMI V8 with 395 horsepower. You can also add to it eTorque technology, for even more power. 

As you reach even higher versions, you will find a V6 EcoDiesel that can fit on the Limited, Laramie and Rebel versions. Equipped with this engine, the diesel RAM 1500 has an impressive 480 lb-ft. maximum torque and 260 horsepower. 

Finally, the last engine which is exclusive to the formidable TRX version, awaits you at the very top of the list: this 6.2 L supercharged V8 has no less than 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft. maximum torque!

When we choose a RAM, we expect muscle and power. The American manufacturer does not disappoint!

RAM 1500 and fuel consumption

Even if it is both an imposing and powerful truck, the RAM 1500 has a surprisingly low fuel consumption for its category!

The standard RAM 1500 V6, for example, only consumes 10.8 L/100 km in average. Even if the V8 engines consume a little more, the RAM 1500 diesel is particularly economical, with a highway consumption of only 8.0 L/ 100 km! This is significantly lower than the consumption of most SUVs on the market. 

What’s new inside?

The RAM 1500 is designed to offer a comfortable interior and the high-end versions are particularly luxurious.

Amongst these, the RAM 1500 Limited is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special edition, offering a particularly sophisticated interior. Materials like high-quality leather, wood trims, metal or suede trims, are part of it. Moreover, two colors are combined –indigo and sea-salt- giving the interior an exclusive look. 

Technologies have also been enhanced: the Uconnect 5 system has been integrated, with an 8.4- inch tactile screen, or an optional 12- inch screen. 

Dimensions and towing capacities

The RAM 1500 dimensions vary according to the selected version. You could, for example, choose a 5- foot 7 or 6- foot 4 bed and a Quab or Team cab, depending on your needs. 

Incredibly powerful, the RAM 1500 has an impressive towing capacity ranging from 7 710 pound to 12 750 pounds (depending on selected engine) and a capacity of 12 560 pounds for the optional EcoDiesel engine.
