RAM 1500 Hurricane vs HEMI V8

Hurricane or HEMI?

The RAM 1500 comes with two engines in Australia: the 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque in the Big Horn, and the 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane straight six in the rest of the range.

3.0L Hurricane

The standard Hurricane makes 313 kW and 635 Nm, and the High Output version in the Limited makes 403 kW and 707 Nm. RAM Trucks Australia lists its official combined fuel figure at 10.74 L/100km.

5.7L HEMI V8

The HEMI V8 has the classic V8 sound and is rated to tow 4,500 kg braked in the Big Horn. RAM Trucks Australia lists its official combined fuel figure at 12.2 L/100km.

Which one?

Choose the Hurricane for more power and lower fuel use, or the HEMI if you want a V8 and a sharper price. The best way to decide is to drive both, so book back-to-back test drives with us.
