2016 Ram 1500 Performance and EcoDiesel Engine

The heart of this truck is the 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel — one of the most talked-about powerplants in the half-ton truck segment. This engine produces around 240 horsepower and a torque-rich 420 lb-ft, giving this Ram a towing capacity of up to 9,200 lbs when properly equipped. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, power delivery is smooth, refined, and efficient in ways that gasoline V8 trucks simply can't match. Real-world fuel economy on the highway frequently lands in the mid-to-upper 20s mpg, making this one of the most cost-effective full-size trucks to own over the long haul. The 4WD drivetrain ensures confident traction on wet Michigan roads, muddy trails, and snowy Wayne County winters.
