From Your Ram Dealer: 4 Features Drivers Love About the 2024 Ram 1500
1. Incredible Performance
The Ram 1500 can be had with one of three robust powerplants. The first is a 3.6L Pentastar V6 is a mild-hybrid motor that promises plenty of grunt with its 305 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. Traditionalists will favor the 5.7L Hemi V8, which ups performance figures to 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. Developing a monstrous 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, the Ram 1500 TRX model’s supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8 is the most powerful engine in the lineup.
All three motors send their power through an exceptionally quick and smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. This transmission’s gearing provides generous torque at low revs, so acceleration never feels sluggish when transporting heavy loads.
2. Class-Leading Towing and Hauling
While the 3.6L V6 engine combines with the Ram 1500’s sturdy construction to allow for an admirable towing capacity of 7,730 pounds, the 5.7L V8-equipped models can pull up to 12,750 pounds. Maximum payload capacity is just as impressive for the V6 at up to 2,300 pounds. Buyers can choose between a box length of 68.4 or 76.8 inches.
3. Serious Off-Roading Capability

Available Selec-Speed control maintains throttle and braking, so you can focus on the path ahead of you.
The Ram 1500 Rebel adds a slew of enhancements that help it to conquer the toughest trails, including extra-tough shock absorbers, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and a lifted suspension.
