Mated to the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain brings Best-in-Class available base diesel torque—up to 1,075 lb-ft—for serious low-end pull and confident highway merging under load. With up to 430 horsepower and a maximum available diesel towing capacity of up to 36,610 pounds when properly equipped, it is engineered to move big trailers with less strain. The transmission’s intuitive software control and robust gear spread support smooth, predictable shifts, while minimal noise and low vibration promote long-haul comfort.

6.4L HEMI® V8 with TorqueFlite® 8

For drivers who prefer gasoline power, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 offers a compelling combination of strength and refinement. Paired with the TorqueFlite® 8 eight-speed automatic transmission, this engine provides fully electronic operation with on-the-fly shift mapping to stay in the right gear for the moment.
