How much horsepower does a supercharged Ram 1500 have?
The Ram 1500 TRX, equipped with a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8, produces 702 horsepower. Other Ram 1500 trims rely on naturally aspirated engines and do not come with a factory supercharger.
What defines a “supercharged Ram 1500” is the TRX, not the standard 1500 lineup. Since its introduction, the TRX has used a Hellcat-inspired, 6.2L V8 with a roots-style supercharger to deliver exceptional on- and off-road performance, setting it apart from the rest of the Ram 1500 family. Other trims offer the 5.7L Hemi with eTorque, the 3.6L Pentastar V6, or the 3.0L EcoDiesel, all of which are naturally aspirated.

Other Ram 1500 engines
Why the TRX differs from other Ram 1500 variants
Most Ram 1500 models use naturally aspirated powertrains, such as the 5.7L Hemi with eTorque, the 3.6L Pentastar V6, or the 3.0L EcoDiesel. None of these offer a factory supercharger, which is why the TRX stands out as the sole supercharged Ram 1500 in current production.
Summary
In short, a supercharged Ram 1500 refers to the Ram 1500 TRX with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 delivering 702 horsepower. For the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup, power comes from naturally aspirated engines without a factory supercharger.
