MAKES THIS ENGINE A GIANT.
BUILT FOR LONG-LIFE RELIABILITY: From Day One, Pentastar V6
designers lasered in on achieving outstanding fuel efficiency. Assets here
include a “Silent Chain” timing drive, dual overhead cams, high-flow
“tumble” intake ports and a no-nonsense 10.2:1 compression ratio.
BETTER BY SEVERAL DEGREES: Both the Pentastar V6 engine and
the TorqueFlite 8-speed transmission employ Thermal Management
Systems. These systems keep fluids at ideal operating temperatures
(surprisingly, slightly higher) for top-echelon numbers for horsepower,
torque and fuel efficiency.
PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION: This maximizes the efficiency of
electrical output. Rather than maintain a constant (and more inefficient)
rate, the Pentastar V6 modulates the pulse-width of the energy. Result:
better and more efficient control of the fuel pump, cooling fan and HVAC
blower controls.
Ram pickups made history by combining the capable efficiency
of the Pentastar V6 with the first-ever truck application of an
8-speed automatic transmission, the class-exclusive

8-speed. Time has shown this partnership to be one of the best,
a fact amply demonstrated by critical acclaim, back-to-back
national awards, available 4x4 capability and indisputably
impressive figures for towing and hauling. We then topped it
off with a best-in-class

25 mpg highway* rating.
This exceptional powertrain utilizes some of the most powerful
engineering practices and innovative technologies ever developed.
When compared to conventional engines and transmissions,
refinements to the Pentastar V6/TorqueFlite 8-speed powertrain
lineup translate into what counts: awesome fuel efficiency and
phenomenal performance.
