Available exclusively on the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX, this monstrous engine is made for thrill seekers, as it is built with a cast-iron engine block, forged-steel crankshaft, and induction-hardened bearings. The near instantaneous torque will launch you from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds — enough to get your adrenaline pumping.
The 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with eTorque replaces a conventional alternator with a belt-driven motor-generator unit. eTorque is a mild hybrid system that collects, stores, and utilizes energy that would otherwise go to waste. The motor-generator charges the 48-volt battery, and can also draw on that battery power for added torque when needed. Advantages of eTorque included improved fuel economy, more towing capacity, and better hauling ability.
When you want a tough and rugged engine underneath the hood of your Ram 1500, choose the 5.7L HEMI V8. This engine is built with cast-iron block and aluminum-alloy heads, as well as a multi-displacement system with fuel saver technology and variable valve timing to increase efficiency.
The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 is standard on all 2022 Ram 1500 trims except for the Tradesman HFE crew cab, Limited, and TRX trims. This engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, uses advanced technology to power up your daily drive in an efficient manner. And with the eTorque mild hybrid system, you’ll get 90 pound-feet of launch torque.
Opt for the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 when you want exceptional torque, impressive towing capacity, and fuel efficiency. You can also expect excellent acceleration, making for an exciting driving experience.
When choosing which engine you’d like in your 2022 Ram 1500, you first need to determine what your towing needs are. If you tow smaller items such as jet skis, four-wheelers, small boats, and pop-up campers, then the towing capacity of the base 3.6L V6 will suffice. Larger boats, campers, and trailers will require a higher towing capacity. As always, check with your owner’s manual to see approximate weight limits.
The 2022 Ram 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds.
