THE 3.6L PENTASTAR VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT) V6 FLEX FUEL ENGINE delivers a

remarkable combination of power, long-term durability and extraordinarily low fuel

consumption. Key features include cast aluminum cylinder heads, a high-pressure die-cast

aluminum block and dual independent camshaft phasing. A thermal management system with

a pulse-width-modulated fuel pump delivers fuel only when needed to further enhance

efficiency. Along with impressive strength that enables excellent towing and hauling capability,

the TorqueFlite

8-speed automatic transmission helps refine its already exceptional

road manners.

IMPRESSIVE FUEL ECONOMY up to 9.3 L/100 km (30 mpg) on the highway.*

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT) controls the valves in the most efficient manner, allowing optimal

engine breathing throughout the entire rpm range to deliver improved torque and fuel economy, and

lower emissions.

THE 3.OL ECODIESEL: IT’S WHY THIS PICKUP STANDS ALONE—AND ABOVE. is

clean-burning turbocharged 60-degree dual overhead cam (DOHC) 24-valve V6

is so powerful, it rivals V8 output and capability yet is still incredibly ecient.

Working with the TorqueFlite

8-speed automatic transmission, the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6

delivers class-leading

low-end torque of 420 lb-ft at only 2,000 rpm. Outstanding performance

is measured in pure capability, giving you towing strength up to 4,173 kg (9,200 lb),

when properly equipped.

Further refinements include a 29,000-psi Common Rail Fuel-Injection System enhanced with

Multi-Jet II Shaping Technology enabling up to eight fuel injections per combustion event.

The EcoDiesel is also capable of running on environmentally friendly and renewable biodiesel

fuels up to a B-20 blend.

Built by world-class manufacturer VM Motori, the EcoDiesel is one of the most advanced diesel

engines in the marketplace—and is one you can count on to endure decades of hard labour.

LASTING DURABILITY. The engine is built with a cylinder block and bedplate constructed of

high-strength compact graphite iron, a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, durable

aluminum alloy pistons, heat-treated aluminum cylinder heads and oil injectors for each piston.

TURBO POWER. An electronically controlled and watercooled Variable Geometry Turbocharger

enhances durability and capability. The system provides critical turbine power at low engine

speeds, helping ensure optimal power and performance at all times.

STATE-OF-THE-ART SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION. This system reduces emissions and

incorporates a unique Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system that alerts the driver to low DEF

levels while also allowing the engine to maintain full power.

COOL OIL. LONG LIFE. REDUCED COSTS. A standard engine oil cooler keeps the oil at peak

operating temperatures, contributing to recommended oil change intervals up to 16,000 km.

DUAL-FUEL FILTRATION. Exceptional separation of water from fuel enhances long-term protection.

CANADA’S MOST FUEL-EFFICIENT PICKUP

AND THE ONLY 1/2-TON DIESEL THE 3.6L PENTASTAR

With one of the most impressive résumés in engineering history—

it’s still one of the most powerful V8 engines in the segment.

Lauded for its ultra-durable strength balanced by impressive

efficiency, this V8 delivers exceptional towing, hauling and excellent fuel efficiency—enhanced

even further when paired with the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission.

FUELSAVER MDS, or Multi-Displacement System, seamlessly deactivates half of the cylinders when

cruising, transforming the mighty V8 into a fuel-sipping four-cylinder.

VVT opens and closes valves to varying degrees depending on rpm, ensuring peak overall performance,

increased torque, improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.

TWO SPARK PLUGS PER CYLINDER burn fuel with great efficiency, ensuring consistent, clean and

complete combustion.

THE LEGENDARY 5.7L HEMI

THE TORQUEFLITE 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC encapsulates our commitment to

innovation, comfort and capability. With its outstanding shift qualities and

superb performance from highway to hauling, the TorqueFlite is a

major factor in the Ram 1500’s impressive fuel economy

figures. Refined in every way, it incorporates a rotary dial

shifter, with steering wheel-mounted buttons for

manual gear selection and greater operator control when

towing and hauling. Principal features include:

A WIDE GEAR-RATIO SPREAD WITH CLOSE STEPS helps deliver excellent shift quality and allows

the engine to spend more time at lower rpm—helping enhance fuel economy.

ELECTRONIC SHIFT MAPPING includes 40 shift maps, an exceptional number that adds to impeccable

road manners: each tuned for optimal shifting in varying road and driving conditions.

A THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM quickly warms up the transmission fluid; this technology improves

overall performance and boosts daily fuel efficiency.

THE SEGMENT-EXCLUSIVE

ELECTRONIC ROTARY DIAL SHIFTER is an intuitive component which

also frees up space for additional storage.
