Longtime Dodge powertrain ally Cummins provides its newly redesigned 5.9-liter I6 High Output Turbo Diesel, adding a high-pressure, common rail fuel-injection system to produce 555ft-lbs of torque at 1,400 rpm and 305hp at 2,900rpm. The bump in the engines capabilities gives the Doge Ram an astounding gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 23,000 pounds when towing a trailer. The highest tow rating of any full size pickup.
Gasoline powered engine owners won't be disappointed either with the new Rams. Dodge is bringing back the HEMI engine as a 5.7-liter V8 with 365ft-lbs of torque at 4,400rpm and 345hp at 5,600rpm. It replaces the old 5.9-liter Magnum V8.
"With its compact size, we could also put this in a car," Lee told us. "But for now it's only an option on the Ram Heavy Duty. The HEMI will not be offered as an engine choice on the light duty 1500 Ram pickup."

Gee, I thought someone would care. Since no one was really sure about it.

So... If the new HEMI 5.7 is to replace the Magnum 5.9, and will only be offered on the Ram HD, then what the hell is the R/T going to have, a diesel engine? Will there even be an R/T next year?
