Overview of the 2024 RAM 1500's Engine Options

The 2024 RAM 1500 lineup delivers power and versatility, with three engine choices to fit your driving needs.

3.6-Liter Pentastar V-6 With eTorque

The standard equipment is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with eTorque mild-hybrid technology, generating 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. A belt-driven motor-generator aids acceleration and enables engine stop-start for efficiency.

5.7-Liter HEMI V-8 With eTorque

Go with the optional 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 eTorque and enjoy 395 hp and 410 lb-ft torque. RAM's eTorque technology improves responsiveness and captures braking energy in a 48-volt battery pack.

6.2-Liter Supercharged HEMI V-8

The TRX model houses a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine that produces an impressive 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. You'll sacrifice fuel economy but love the enhanced performance.

Whether daily driving or serious hauling, these proven powertrain choices deliver. The smaller V-6 sips fuel, but if power and performance are your priority, you can upgrade to a V-8 engine for more capability.

Fuel Economy According to Engine Type

The 2024 RAM 1500 offers diverse engine configurations, and choosing wisely can help optimize your fuel costs and boost your eco-friendliness. The Environmental Protection Agency has performed tests recreating city start-stops and steady highway cruising so you know what to expect in terms of mileage in the real world.

3.6-Liter Pentastar V-6 With eTorque

• 305 hp and 271 lb-ft torque.
• Mild-hybrid technology boosts efficiency.
• Rear-wheel drive:  20/25/22 mpg (city/highway/combined).
• Four-wheel drive: 19/24/21 mpg (city/highway/combined).

5.7-Liter HEMI V-8 With eTorque

• 395 hp and 410 lb-ft torque.

Comparing Fuel Efficiency With Competitor Vehicles

The 2024 RAM 1500 excels in fuel economy, and competitor vehicles struggle to match its impressive miles-per-gallon ratings. Let's explore how it outperforms rival trucks.

Efficient V-6 Power

The 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with eTorque delivers stellar efficiency. Rear-wheel-drive models achieve 20 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. Ford's 3.3-liter V-6 F-150 lags behind at 19 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. Chevy's turbo 2.7-liter four-cylinder Silverado gets 20 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined, while GMC's Sierra matches the Chevrolet Silverado.

Robust V-8 Capability

Need V-8 muscle? The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with eTorque provides 17 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined (rear-wheel drive). Ford's 5.0-liter V-8 F-150 gets similar city/combined ratings but falls short on the highway. Chevrolet and GMC's 5.3-liter V-8 engines sacrifice efficiency at 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.

Performance Powerhouse

The high-output RAM 1500 TRX sacrifices some efficiency for unrivaled performance. Its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 returns 10 mpg city, 14 mpg highway, and 12 mpg combined. While lower than Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost Raptor (15 mpg city, 18 mpg highway, and 16 mpg combined), the TRX offers extraordinary capability.

Overall, the 2024 RAM 1500 balances power and efficiency superbly across its lineup. eTorque technology gives it an edge that its competitors struggle to match. If you prioritize capability and fuel savings, the RAM 1500 is tough to beat.

Technological Innovations Enhancing Fuel Efficiency

The 2024 RAM 1500 showcases cutting-edge technology to boost fuel economy that perfectly balances efficiency and performance.

eTorque Mild-Hybrid System

eTorque is a game-changing system that uses a belt-driven motor generator to provide a torque boost during acceleration, reducing engine strain. Stop-start functionality shuts off the engine when idling, preventing unnecessary fuel consumption.

Regenerative braking captures kinetic energy and stores it in a 48-volt battery pack. This stored energy offsets the engine's workload, significantly improving miles-per-gallon ratings.

Active Air Dam and Air Suspension

The active air dam lowers automatically at highway speeds, minimizing aerodynamic drag. The air suspension optimizes airflow by lowering ride height. It's a brilliant one-two punch maximizing fuel efficiency.

Lightweight Materials and Transmission Tuning

Weight reduction plays a pivotal role, with high-strength steel and lightweight materials that trim excess pounds. Less weight equals less engine strain and higher fuel economy. Meanwhile, an eight-speed automatic transmission amplifies efficiency. Gear ratios keep the engine operating within its sweet spot, which translates to real-world fuel savings. With these technologies, the 2024 RAM 1500 redefines the capabilities of a light-duty pickup. Stop by our showroom in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to witness innovation and efficiency in action.

Real-World Applications

Impressive fuel economy translates to substantial savings. Whether you're tackling your daily commute or adventuring across open roads, the 2024 RAM 1500 delivers efficiency without compromise.

Daily Drivers

The standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with eTorque sips modestly at 20 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. Gridlock won't drain your wallet; even in stop-and-go conditions, this engine keeps costs reasonable.

Long-Distance Journeys

For road trips, the potent 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with eTorque balances power and efficiency at 23 mpg for highway driving. Fewer fuel stops mean more uninterrupted miles.

Heavy Hauling

Don't let towing duties compromise efficiency. The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 tows up to 12,750 pounds while achieving 20 mpg combined. 

John, a local contractor, raves: "With the RAM 1500's mpg numbers, I save on commutes and towing equipment. It's powerful yet economical."
