The 2022 Ram 1500 equipped with this top performer achieves enhanced fuel efficiency along with optimal towing and payload capacity. The eTorque technology leverages a 48-volt, battery-powered motor generator ― which replaces the traditional alternator ― to generate extra electrical energy and boost torque.

The result is improved gas mileage.

3.0L EcoDiesel V6
If you’re looking for best-in-class diesel torque, the innovative 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 should be on your radar. An impressive example of green engine technology, this turbocharged V6 doesn’t compromise performance when producing fewer CO2 emissions than traditional diesel engines. And it operates on diesel fuel for enhanced efficiency.
Discover robust horsepower and torque, as well as impressive fuel economy (MPG performance) when your Ram 1500 pickup is equipped with the EcoDiesel.
6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8
This class-leading, supercharged V8 comes equipped on the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX® trim and can best be described as a performance powerhouse. Leave others in the dust as you take your truck from zero to 60 MPH in 4.5 seconds, then stay ahead of the pack thanks to the mind-boggling horsepower and torque this high-performance V8 produces. A twin-screw supercharger puts out torque at dizzying speed, while the dual-path air induction system ― drawing air in from the front grille and hood ― helps deliver a continuous supply of clean, cool air that helps filter out any dust or debris you kick up so they don’t mess with the powertrain.
