Ram 1500 Gas Mileage

For the best Ram 1500 fuel economy, go with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque. This engine produces up to 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Combining this engine with two-wheel drive (2WD) and an eight-speed automatic transmission results in a powertrain that can deliver an EPA-estimated 20/25 MPG (City/Highway).¹ With four-wheel drive (4WD), this setup gets an EPA-estimated MPG of 19/24 (City/Highway).¹ This engine gives the Ram 1500 a maximum towing capacity of 8,110 pounds when properly equipped.

Next up to the plate is the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine. This engine makes 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. A 2WD setup with an eight-speed automatic transmission gives you an EPA-estimated 18/23 MPG (City/Highway).¹ The EPA-estimated MPG becomes 18/22 MPG (City/Highway) with 4WD.¹

Last but not least is the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine, which is only available on the Ram 1500 TRX trim. It offers incredible power and thrills, with horsepower, 650 pound-feet of torque, and a top speed of 118 mph. This Ram 1500 powertrain only comes with 4WD and uses an eight-speed automatic transmission to get an EPA-estimated 10/14 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).¹ Admittedly, fuel economy isn't this engine's strong suit, but its supercharger provides near-instant torque and can withstand 1,595 psi.

If having the best 2024 Ram 1500 MPG is your top priority, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque is the best option. This engine gets the highest EPA-estimated MPG figures for both 2WD and 4WD models, and while it doesn't unlock this truck's maximum towing capacity – that distinction goes to the 5.7-liter V-8 engine, which is capable of towing 12,750 pounds² – it still has enough strength to pull a small boat or a trailer.
