The 1500 Limited models come standard with this HEMI MDS VVT eTorque engine with start/stop capability and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can also opt to add this engine to the other models. This Mild Hybrid System is efficient without sacrificing capability and provides 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, including an additional 130 lb-ft of supplemental launch torque. With this HEMI, you can haul all kinds of gear thanks to its Best-in-Class towing capacity of 12,750 lbs.

Long-Haul Capability

With so much power under its hood, the 1500 was designed to go the distance, no matter what adventure you take it on.

If you plan to move equipment between job sites or haul your favorite recreational gear, you will want to add the Trailer Tow Group Package to maximize your truck’s capability.
