Ram 1500: Raw Engine Performance

Your engine is everything when you’re handling a big trailer, and the Ram 1500 doesn’t back down with its standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with eTorque. This engine generates up to 305 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, enabling you to tow up to 7,730 pounds when properly equipped.

If you want the fullest potential of this truck, look to the available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with eTorque. Thanks to this larger powertrain, you can work with up to 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. With a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds when properly configured, you’ll have more than enough muscle to bring along that family camper, too.

To help you get the ideal balance of power and efficiency when you’re towing, you’ll have an available eTorque Mild Hybrid Technology System. This system will enhance efficiency and provide additional supplemental torque, providing a more balanced towing experience across the board.

Ram 1500: Towing-Assistance Technology

Just because your truck works hard, it doesn’t mean you have to work hard, too. The Ram 1500 is loaded with features that are designed to make your hauling experience easier. Look at the 360° Surround View Camera with Trailer Reverse Guidance View, for example. This available driver’s aid will make it easy to monitor your trailer, offering you a complete view of your truck and cargo, making it easier to maneuver.

To make driving on the highway with a trailer easier, you’ll have the help of an available Blind Spot Monitoring system. This feature is designed to warn you when another vehicle is driving alongside you. It can even account for your trailer to determine if it’s safe for you to change lanes when you’re towing.

Finally, if you’re preparing for a long haul, you can equip available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. This system can monitor the roads ahead, able to autonomously adjust your speed based on traffic patterns.
