Power and efficiency come together with a greener version of diesel technology on the 3.0L EcoDiesel turbo diesel engine. Delivering impressive horsepower and torque, this hard-working powerhouse is built to endure and take you ― and whatever you need to tow ― where you need to go. You can go a long way on a tank of gas with the EcoDiesel under the hood ― up to 1,000 miles.
Appreciated for its reliability, the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with eTorque delivers robust performance, especially when it comes to the amount of weight the truck can safely carry. This V6 is aided by wide-range variable valve timing and two-step variable lift technology for peak power and fuel economy, plus an electronically controlled mild hybrid system. This eTorque system assists the engine during acceleration as well as when you’re slowing down or braking ― by recapturing energy and returning it to the battery pack for charging.
Known for its dependability, the design of a HEMI® engine ― featuring less surface area than most comparable engines ― helps it conserve heat and minimize energy loss so that engine power can be maintained and optimized. The 5.7L HEMI V8 engine utilizes stop/start technology and is supported by an eTorque mild hybrid system that leverages a belt-driven motor generator and 48-volt battery to aid in restarting after stops and with energy recovery via regenerative braking. The eTorque system replaces a traditional alternator.
Standard equipment on the high-performing, powerful off-road TRX® trim, the supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 delivers incredible power and speed ― go from zero to 60 MPH in 4.5 seconds.
New for 2023 is the incredibly luxe Limited Elite Edition trim that joins an already impressive lineup of Ram 1500 light-duty pickups. You’ll find an elevated cabin featuring a suede headliner, premium leather bucket seats, jeweled rotary shifter, heated steering wheel, and heated and ventilated 12-way driver and front passenger seats. On the outside, enjoy added convenience with the multifunction and locking tailgate, tailgate ajar warning lamp, deployable bed step, plus adjustable cargo tie-down hooks and a cargo divider.
Among the key features you’ll find on the 2023 Ram 1500 truck:
