RAM 1500 eTorque

The impressive RAM 1500 gas mileage is made possible by the eTorque system. The eTorque system switches out a traditional alternator for a 48-volt belt-driven motor powered by a battery. This mild-hybrid system gives you more torque, a higher payload capacity, and better towing power on the Hahnville roads. Plus, the RAM 1500 fuel economy ratings are improved, so it’s a win-win.

  • Standard TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission
  • Elevated hood and redesigned roof for less drag
  • Class-exclusive air dam, which lowers once the truck reaches 30 miles per hour
