The 2022 Ram 1500 has five different engines for you to choose from, including gas and diesel options.
All but three 2022 Ram 1500 trims come standard with the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque engine under the hood. This engine is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and uses advanced technologies like wide-range variable valve timing for enhanced power and efficiency.
The eTorque mild hybrid system replaces a conventional alternator with a belt-driven motor-generator unit that captures, stores, and utilizes energy that would otherwise go to waste. The motor-generator charges the 48-volt battery and can draw on that battery power for added torque when needed. Improved fuel economy, better hauling ability, and more towing capacity are just a few of the benefits of eTorque.
The available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine delivers the power that you expect from the HEMI name. This engine is built with a 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.
Receive the power of the 5.7L V8 while also reaping the benefits of the eTorque mild hybrid system. Plus, this engine boasts the most towing capacity across the Ram 1500 lineup, thanks to the extra 130 pound-feet of torque.
When you want to get the job done in a fuel efficient and timely manner, you can count on the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6. This engine offers best-in-class diesel torque and diesel towing capacity, as well as increased fuel efficiency and optimal low-end torque.
Exclusively offered on the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX®, the supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 is a beast of an engine. Don’t just take our word for it — hear it roar on the Ram website. With near instantaneous torque and a top speed of 118 MPH, this engine allows the TRX to go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.5 seconds.

Utilizing Ram’s eTorque mild hybrid technology system, the 5.7L HEMI V8 produces the work-ready capability you need for your daily tasks while providing impressive fuel economy for an eight-cylinder engine.
With the same raw power as the previous engine without the added weight of the eTorque system, the 5.7L HEMI V8 puts less of a load on the frame of the Ram 1500. This results in an improved payload capacity, which will allow you to haul more with your new truck.
Standard on the majority of 2021 Ram 1500 trims, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 is as comfortable commuting as it is tackling to-do lists. This versatile engine will be especially intriguing for drivers who don’t need to maximize power.
As the sole diesel option in the Ram 1500 engine lineup, the durable 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 is built to push boundaries. When equipping your truck with this powertrain, you’ll notice impressive low-end torque, as well as outstanding towing and payload capacities.
Standardly equipped and only available on the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, the 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 delivers the performance to match this eye-catching truck. With head-turning power and a quick 0-60 MPH time that will stack up with some sports cars, you’ll find any reason to slide behind the wheel.
