Shoppers can choose between two heavy-duty powertrains. The standard engine is a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 that runs on gasoline. It makes 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends this engine’s output to the rear wheels. Choose this powertrain setup for strong power delivery and impressive access to low-end torque.
For a little more heft, check out the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine, a beast that churns out 400 horses and 1,000 pound-feet of torque. Last year, this engine was reworked to deliver a stouter overall performance – with lighter, stronger pistons, new connecting rods, and a new exhaust manifold – and it shows.
