2018 RAM 1500 Performance and Engine

The 5.7L HEMI V8 — Built to Work

Under the hood of this 2018 RAM 1500 Big Horn sits RAM's legendary 5.7L HEMI V8, displacing 345 cubic inches and producing around 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque in stock configuration. Paired with an automatic transmission, power delivery is smooth and confident whether you're merging onto I-75 or pulling a trailer across the state. The HEMI's Multi-Displacement System (MDS) also helps balance fuel economy during highway cruising by deactivating cylinders when full power isn't needed — a practical feature for Michigan commuters logging miles between Detroit, Dearborn, and beyond. This engine's reputation for durability is one of the main reasons so many buyers specifically seek out the 5.7L HEMI when shopping used RAM 1500 trucks.
