What's the Maximum Horsepower Rating for the 2017 Ram 1500?

· 2 min read

2017 Ram 1500 Maximum Horsepower

  The 2017 Ram 1500 is available in many different trim levels, and different engine options that offer different horsepower. Your friends here at Palmen Motors are here to help you figure out which is best for your lifestyle.

Engine Options

Ram trucks are built to last and the different engines that each vehicle features are just as tough as the trucks themselves. Depending on which trim level you choose, you'll have the option to pick between a diesel or gasoline engine. Along with the engine options, different transmission options are available as well. 8-speed automatic and 8-speed automatic with an auto-manual provide for an exhilarating drive no matter which one you choose.

Cab Options

Ram trucks feature three distinct cab options that allow for longer bed length without sacrificing interior volume. Regular Cab offers either a 6-foot 4-inch bed with seating for three people. Also available on the Regular Car is an 8-foot bed that still offers the same 62.5 cubic feet of interior volume. Quad Cab® offers a 6-foot 4-inch bed and an impressive 116.6 cubic feet of interior volume and seating up to six passengers. Finally, Crew Cab comes with either a 5-foot 7-inch bed or a 6-foot 4-inch bed and an unheard of 125.3 cubic feet of interior volume.    

Maximum Horsepower

If you choose the 3.0L V-6 diesel engine, your Ram 1500 is capable of producing up to 240 horse power. If diesel isn't your thing, the 3.6-liter V-6 gasoline engine cranks out up to 305 horsepower. For those who want even more out of their engine, there is also an available 5.7-liter V-8 gasoline engine that is able to produce up to 395 horsepower! To go along with the 395-horsepower, the 5.7L V-8 is also capable of putting out 296 lb-ft of torque at 4,175 rpm.   Once you've chose the right trim, cab, and engine type for your needs, we encourage you to check out our inventory of the 2017 Ram 1500 to find the perfect one for you and your family.
