2022 Ram 1500 Power & Handling
There certainly is no lack of power to be found in the 2022 Ram 1500 engine lineup. Kicking things off with 305 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque is Ram's trusted Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine. The Pentastar engine employs eTorque mild-hybrid technology to boost performance and fuel economy. Another available option is the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 that pumps out 260 horsepower and a useful 480 lb-ft of torque. If you seek a bit more get up and go, you'll be happy with the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine. The HEMI puts out 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. The eTorque system is optional for the V8 and helps boost the towing capacity to 12,750 pounds. Last but certainly not least, the monstrous TRX trim comes with a hellish supercharged 6.2L V8 ripping out an exhilarating 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. All Ram 1500 engines are mated to a smooth-shifting TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission that powers the rear wheels. However, 4x4 is available for all trim levels while standard on the mighty TRX.

The 2022 Silverado is also available with four engine options. Standard under the hood is a 2.7L turbocharged I-4 engine pushing out 310 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, a solid start for the engine lineup. The turbocharged engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard rear-wheel drivetrain, while four-wheel drive is optional. Next comes a 5.3L V8 engine pumping out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, coming up short compared to the 1500's V8 engine. Next, the Silverado's diesel option is a 3.0L turbocharged diesel I-6 that offers 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Lastly, the most potent Silverado engine is the 6.2L V8, which supplies drivers with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. All the engines besides the turbocharged I-4 are mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels, while 4WD is optional for all trims.
