V6 EFFICIENCY AND CAPABILITY. 100% RAM.
Thermal management is critical:
the 3.6-liter Pentastar
®
V6 keeps
temperatures at peak operating
figures for ideal performance and
fuel-efficient operation.
Aluminum alloy pistons are lightweight with
outstanding durability. The design reduces
the reciprocating mass inside the engine to
enhance performance and overall efficiency.
Flex Fuel capability gives you welcome
latitude when filling the tank. The E-85
calibration permits use of either unleaded
gasoline or ethanol.
The 21st-century engineering that went
into the development of the Pentastar V6
engine has made it a multiple award-winner.
Features like Variable Valve Timing (VVT)
enable efficient power and precise operation.
Performance is exceptional.
Ram broke new ground last year when it combined the
efficient capability of the Pentastar V6 with the first­ever
truck application of an 8­speed automatic transmission—
the class­exclusive
[2]
TorqueFlite 8. The 2014 Ram 1500 carries on that
tradition, providing acclaimed figures for towing and hauling—and
then topping it off with best­in­class

mpg highway.
Little wonder why this powertrain combination has led to major
awards and critical acclaim from journalists, professional drivers and
independent third­party testing facilities. The formidable Pentastar V6
with the TorqueFlite 8 handles double duties at every turn, providing
V8­equivalent power with proven V6 economies, enabling available
4x4 toughness (the working definition of full­size truck capability),
and with remarkably little noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
In every way, the Pentastar is the benchmark for a V6.

Pentastar V6 factors for long-life performance and

ranking for mpg highway include the “Silent Chain”
timing drive, dual overhead cams, high-flow “tumble” intake ports and a
seriously authoritative 10.2:1 compression ratio.

pulse-width Modulation.
This technology is all about modulating
electrical energy for specific vehicle needs rather than running at a constant
rate. Ram 1500 utilizes pulse-width modulation for the fuel pump, cooling
fan and HVAC blower controls.

Dual focus, one vision: provide outstanding shift qualities and impeccable performance from
highway cruising to heavy hauling—while making a very real contribution to the impressive
Ram 1500 fuel efficiency figures. The groundbreaking TorqueFlite 8 is the answer.
For a more refined operation, new Ram 1500 models equipped with the TorqueFlite 8 use steering
wheel-mounted buttons for manual gear range selection—offering more control when towing and
hauling heavy loads.
