Power and Performance

Two energetic engines are available within the RAM 1500 Express lineup. The pickup's base powerplant is the familiar Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 305 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. A more robust twin-turbocharged Hurricane 3.0-liter straight-six engine is also offered, delivering up to 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque.

Available with a crew or quad cab and your choice of rear or four-wheel drive, the RAM 1500 Express is always ready to pamper its occupants and work hard. With the Hurricane engine and the right equipment, the RAM 1500 Express can tow as much as 11,580 lbs with ease, and its maximum payload rating is 2,300 lbs. Pickups with the Hurricane engine can hit 60 miles per hour in less than five seconds, something trucks with the base engine can do in less than seven seconds.
