Which Ram has the most horsepower?
The Ram 1500 TRX, powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8, delivers 702 horsepower—the most of any Ram truck in production today.
Across Ram’s lineup, horsepower varies widely by engine and model, from diesel-heavy heavy-duty pickups to high-performance variants. This article breaks down the top horsepower figures and explains why the TRX leads the pack.
Model-by-model horsepower snapshot
Below is a quick, model-by-model snapshot of horsepower across current Ram offerings.
- Ram 1500 TRX — 702 hp (6.2L supercharged Hemi V8)
- Ram 1500 with 6.4L Hemi V8 — 410 hp
- Ram 1500 with 5.7L Hemi V8 — 395 hp
- Ram 2500/3500 with 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel High Output — around 420 hp
- Ram 2500/3500 with EcoDiesel 3.0L V6 — around 260 hp
In short, the Ram 1500 TRX stands as the horsepower king in Ram’s lineup, with the heavy‑duty Cummins diesel and gasoline V8 options following at lower, but still substantial, power levels.
Engine and configuration factors
Horsepower figures across Ram trucks are determined by engine design, forced induction, and tuning. The headline max is the TRX’s 702 hp from the 6.2L supercharged V8; other Ram engines—gasoline V8s and diesel options—produce power in the 260–420 hp range, depending on displacement and turbocharging.
- 6.2L Supercharged Hemi V8 in the Ram 1500 TRX — 702 hp, 650 lb-ft torque
- 6.4L Hemi V8 — about 410 hp
- 5.7L Hemi V8 — about 395 hp
- 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel High Output — around 420 hp, ~1,075 lb-ft torque
- 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 — around 260 hp, ~480 lb-ft torque
Overall, Ram’s lineup shows a clear split: the TRX prioritizes peak horsepower for performance, while the heavier work trucks lean on torque and reliability to handle towing and payload.
Summary
Final takeaway: The Ram 1500 TRX is the horsepower king at 702 hp, followed by heavy‑duty diesel and gasoline engines that peak around 420 hp in the Cummins variants and 410 hp in the standard gasoline V8s. The rest of Ram’s lineup emphasizes torque, efficiency, and durability rather than peak horsepower alone.
