Powertrain Options and Availability
Half-ton Ram 1500s came with a choice of three engines: a V6 and a pair of V8s. All except the 5.9-liter V8 were offered with either five-speed manual shift or a four-speed automatic transmission. Only automatic was available with the top engine. Rams could have either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive (including low-range gearing). The new-for-'05 SRT-10 comes with a V10 engine mated with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Also in 2005, the 3.7-liter V6 and 4.7-liter V8 offer a 6-speed manual transmission, replacing the 5-speed.
