2022 Ram 1500 Engine Lineup

One of the first things you’ll want to know about the 2022 Ram 1500 is its engine capability. Take a look at the following chart detailing your choice of powertrains.

Engine	Horsepower	Torque
3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque	305 HP	269 lb-ft
3.0L EcoDiesel V6	260 HP	480 lb-ft
5.7L HEMI® V8	395 HP	410 lb-ft
5.7L HEMI® V8 with eTorque	395 HP	410 lb-ft
Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8	702 HP	650 lb-ft

Thanks to its five engine options, you’ll be able to choose the one that best matches the needs of your workday.
Depending on your typical day and towing and driving needs, a different engine will suit you best. For instance, the standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine offers a great balance of power, torque, and efficiency. However, the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 option is best suited for heavy hauling needs as it offers superior torque and the increased efficiency of a diesel engine.

Capability Highlights

The 2022 Ram 1500 is nothing if not your right hand on hauls and grueling jobs. Thanks to its high towing capacity, you’ll be able to commit to a variety of jobs and challenges. Plus, there are several levels of capability to suit your exact towing needs. Take a look below:

Engine	Maximum Towing Capacity
5.7L HEMI® V8 with eTorque	12,750 pounds
3.0L EcoDiesel V6	12,560 pounds
5.7L HEMI® V8	11,610 pounds
Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8	8,100 pounds
3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque	7,730 pounds

Aside from heavy hauling, the Ram 1500 can also take on dirt roads with grace, particularly the TRX trim. This trim comes standard with a 4x4 drivetrain, making it ideal for unpaved and unpredictable terrain.

It’s also engineered with parts dedicated to smoothing out your rides and helping you maintain control on the most uneven roads. These components include Bilstein® Black Hawk® shocks and 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory All Terrain tires. Adaptive damping, a raised ride height, and multiple skid plates also come standard.

Towing Assistance

You don’t just get reliable towing with the 2022 Ram 1500. You also get an array of towing assistance features to make it even easier and safer to haul cargo. Explore some of the most impressive features below:

Trailer 360° Surround View Camera: Get a bird’s-eye view of the surroundings around your trailer and avoid obstacles that would otherwise be hard to see.
Trailer Reverse Steering Control: Forget the wheel and steer your hitch into place with a simple knob.
Trailer Brake Controller: Integrate your brakes with the brakes of your trailer so they work together and give you more control of your Ram.

Aside from these helpful on-demand technologies, there are several additional features that are always engaged to maintain your and your cargo’s safety at all times. These include:

Electronic Stability Control
Trailer Sway Control
Electronic Roll Mitigation
Hill Start Assist

These features engage automatically so you can save your energy and give your full attention to the road.

The Convenience Spotlight

With its available 12-inch Uconnect^® touchscreen, the Ram 1500 makes it easy to view and access all the necessary controls and settings—especially since it looks like the tablet you’re accustomed to using at home. As a result, you’ll be able to devote the majority of your attention to the drive itself.

Other handy items you can expect to have at your disposal include available Wi-Fi capability that allows you and everyone on board to stay connected throughout your travels. There’s also the available premium sound system that boasts 19 full-bodied speakers to provide all corners of the cabin with the same high-quality sound presentation for optimal enjoyment.

On top of the infotainment features that elevate your drive, there are a variety of seating amenities that will provide the comfort you need after a long day on the jobsite. Here are some of your options:

Heated and ventilated front seats
4-way power lumbar adjustability for front seats
8-way power-adjustable front seats
Heated second-row seats
Driver seat memory

You’ll also be able to choose from luxurious fabrics like Natura Plus leather, Bristol leather, and more, depending on the trim.

Safety Highlights of the 2022 Ram 1500

Safety is likely a high priority for you as well. Features that will supply a reassuring driving experience include the available Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking as well as Blind Spot Monitoring. Both of these safety features give you a noteworthy upper hand.

If your truck’s sensors detect a potential front collision, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking will prepare the brakes and alert you. If you don’t respond in time, the brakes will engage to stop the vehicle. Blind Spot Monitoring, on the other hand, makes it easier to move from lane to lane by keeping you aware of whether there’s a vehicle occupying one of your blind spot areas.

The available ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist with Stop feature will have you covered when you’re trying to safely maneuver out of a busy parking garage spot or get close to the end of your garage wall without actually hitting it. This feature works by alerting you to obstacles both in front and behind you as well as displaying how close you are to the obstacle.
