If you thought the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine and its 305 horses was an impressive standard inclusion on the 2021 Ram 1500, wait until you get a load of the base V8 option on this tremendous new truck!
The 2021 Ram 1500’s 5.7L HEMI V8 engine comes standard on the Sport, Rebel, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited trims (also available on Tradesman and Big Horn models). It offers blow-away performance thanks to its 395 HP and 410 lb.-ft. of torque. Maximum payload tops out at 2,300 lb (1,043 kg) and towing capacity can be had up to 12,750 lb (5,783 kg).Â
Notably, when taking advantage of all that payload capacity, you’ll appreciate the available power-release dampened tailgate and bed step.
