Ram 1500
One year before a fully electric Ram 1500 arrives, Canada’s second best-selling pickup continues to offer a wide array of engines. In addition to the 3.6-litre V6 and 5.7-litre HEMI V8, there’s a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 delivering a stout 480 lb-ft. of torque. However, it won’t be back after 2023, just like the supercharged 6.2-litre “Hellcat” V8 in the Ram 1500 TRX, which unleashes 702 horsepower.
