Four engines provide a broad range of performance characteristics. The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque produces 305 hp and 269 lbs. ft. of torque.

Every engine pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission, with available 4WD enhancing traction across changing surfaces.

Properly equipped RAM 1500 models can tow up to 11,610 lbs. with the standard-output Hurricane engine, while maximum payload reaches 2,360 lbs. Available integrated trailer brake controls and Trailer Reverse Steering Control support precise maneuvering with recreational trailers and equipment. Warlock and Rebel® incorporate dedicated off-road components, while RHO delivers 13 inches of front suspension travel and 14 inches at the rear. Adaptive dampers and launch control further distinguish its performance-focused engineering.
