What powertrain options does the 2024 RAM 1500 offer in Canada, and which version should you choose based on your needs?
The 2024 RAM 1500 is offered in Canada with four powertrains: the 3.6L Pentastar V6 with 305 hp and mild-hybrid eTorque (estimated combined fuel economy of 12.6 L/100 km), the 5.7L HEMI V8 with 395 hp and eTorque (13.8 L/100 km), the 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel with 260 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque (10.7 L/100 km), and the 6.4L HEMI V8 with 410 hp reserved for the TRX and Performance editions. For mixed commuting and light towing use in Ontario or Quebec, the V6 eTorque offers the best cost efficiency. For serious towers (boats, trailers over 4,500 kg) or Alberta drivers covering long stretches of open highway, the HEMI V8 delivers the needed flexibility. The EcoDiesel is ideal for high-mileage drivers covering more than 30,000 km per year. MSRP starts at approximately $51,895 for the Tradesman V6 and exceeds $100,000 for the TRX.
