Powertrain Options and Availability
Rams came with any of five engines. A 3.9-liter V6 making 175 horsepower (170 bhp in '96) went into 1500-series models. A 220-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 went into 4x4s and 2500-series Rams, and was optional in 1500-series. A 230-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8 was standard in 3500-series, optional in others. A Cummins-engineered 5.9-liter inline 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel could be installed in 2500- and 3500-series Rams. Turbodiesels made 175 horsepower with manual shift, or 160 with automatic (215/180 horsepower in 1996). The 8.0-liter V10 delivered 300 horsepower. A 5-speed manual gearbox and 4-speed automatic transmission were available. Ram 4x4s used on-demand, part-time 4WD (not for dry pavement), with automatic-locking hubs and shift-on-the-fly capability.
