The 2014 Ram 1500 will provide a brand new, 3.0liter EcoDiesel engine, mated with the TorqueFlite eightspeed automatic transmission. The engine delivers a superb blend of best-in-type fuel-efficiency, unsurpassed torque and notable ability.

Also new on the 2014 Ram 1500 is really a park assist system and host of comfort, efficiency and emissionsfriendly refinements including a variable displacement compressor; pulsewidth modulated blower; humidity sensor; and the newest technology in air conditioning refrigerant.

Building in the awardwinning truck, the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel will further stretch its best-in-type fuel-economy title lead and keep to increase the innovation bar in just one of the automobile industry's most customer-faithful sections.

POWER-TRAIN

The 2014 Ram 1500 continues the brand's quest of redefining the halfton fullsize pick-up class with all the introduction of a special little displacement turbo diesel engine that provides a best-in-class blend of torque and fuel economy.

Aptly branded EcoDiesel, the newest 3.0liter power-plant is really a turbocharged 60degree, double overhead camshaft (DOHC) 24valve V-6 that makes 240 hp and 420 lb.ft. of torsion ~is apparently more effective than all V-6 gasoline engines within the halfton group.

Furnished with diesel particulate filter, a diesel oxidation catalyst, and selective catalytic reduction, it'll be emissionscompliant in all 50 states.

The brand Ram 1500 is also furnished with a capless fuel-filler system for refilling advantage.

The Pentastar V-6 features 42 percent more hp, 13 percent more torque and at the very least 20 percent better fuel economy in comparison to the preceding 3.7liter V-6 power-train. The celebrated 5.7liter HEMI V-8 with fuelsaving cylinder shutoff and VVT supplies 395 hp and 410 lb.ft. of torque.

The category-exclusive eightspeed automatic transmission (TorqueFlite 8), conventional equipment with 3.0liter V-6 EcoDiesel and 3.6liter V-6 Pentastar, doubles the quantity of equipment in comparison to the formerly accessible fourspeed automatic transmission, which improves drivability and enhances fuel economy. The 8-speed is also available with the 5.7liter HEMI V-8.

If the 2014 Ram 1500 fullsize pick-up arrives in retail outlets the fourth quarter of twelve months 2013, it'll confirm what's unmistakably the most complex and effective powertrain portfolio within the group, as evidenced by:

Exclusive offering of a little-displacement turbo diesel engine (EcoDiesel V-6)
Unsurpassed torque
Best-in-Category mix of electricity and fuel economy in a V-8 engine (HEMI V-8 mated with 8-speed transmission)
Only producer in group to provide diesel, petrol, and flexfuel (E85 capable 3.6liter V - 6) engines

ENGINEERING

From model year 2014, the Ram 1500 will provide a park assist setup, a first-time offering on a fullsize Ram vehicle.

The machine uses four sensors situated in the front fender. The bezel - less, once the automobile is driven in forwards at low rates built-in sensors sequentially distribute ultra-sonic waves. The system can discover objects as a long way away as 47.2 inches.

The adjoining sensors and sensor pick up the echo of the signal once it bounces off an item. Triangulation is utilized to determine relative space, based on elapsed time taken between the out-going signal and its particular return.

Readouts found within the cluster screen (and perceptible chimes) notify the driver of front/back item proximity.

Parasitic Loss Reduction

Pulsewidth modulation (PWM) is really a technology for the Ram 1500, which reduces parasitic electric load. The technology not only removes unnecessary load to the alternator but in addition enhances the durability of benefitting systems. Fuel delivery as well as the forward cooling fan are just two systems which make the most of PWM, adding a 0.4% improvement in fuel economy.

The 2014 Ram 1500 will carry added uses of PWM technology plus a plethora of new comfort, efficiency and emissionsfriendly refinements. These contain a variable displacement airconditioning compressor pulsewidth modulated port blower and humidity sensor.

Instead of a "fixed" displacement compressor, the variable displacement compressor (VDC) mechanically varies its pumping capability to match air conditioning needs instead of operating in an on/off manner. Consequently, the variable displacement compressor (VDC) decreases loads to the engine, helping keep a regular cockpit temperature and reducing parasitic losses for increased fuel efficiency. The technology also reduces shaking irritations and associated sound.

The VDC raises refrigeration capacity before the desired temperature is reached), once the interior cabin temperature is more than that which is desired (outside the automatic temperature get a grip on setting.

The complete effect is less noise, smoother compressor transitions and greater fuel efficiency.

Pulsewidth modulation blower

Such as the VDC, the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) blower always controls fan speeds for best performance in most driving scenarios; quiet, efficient operation; and almost un-noticeable performance.

Humidity sensor

Additionally, it enables the PWM and VDC blower to operate at the absolute most best rates to expedite humidity decrease, as noticeable de-fogging benefits are enabled by the sensor.

New Ac Refrigerant

From 2014, the Ram 1500 would be the very first in its competitive set to take F1234yf refrigerant, a software developed to decrease greenhouse emissions.

LAYOUT

The 2014 Ram 1500 keeps its ruggedly handsome look by having an award winning interior (Ward's 10 Most readily useful Interiors), exterior design aesthetics and section-top technology. Every Ram 1500 truck advantages from content especially made to fit each version's unique fashion.

For 2014, the Ram 1500 offers 12 different colours, including 2 new colours: Granite Crystal and Blue Streak; accessible in a monotone and / or 2 - tone conditioned upon the version.

Unsurpassed power-train warranty - five years/100,000 miles

The powertrain - limited guarantee covers the expense of all components and labour needed to fix a covered power-train component - transmission, engine and drive system. Coverage also has free towing to the closest Ram dealer, if needed. The guarantee also is transferable enabling customers who sell their truck all through the guarantee period, to pass the coverage onto the owner.

QUALITY

The 2014 Ram 1500's quality is scrutinized in the firm's Chrysler Technology Center's state-of-theart scientific laboratories in Auburn Hills, Mich., for example, Noise/Vibration/Harshness Laboratory, Electromagnetic Compatibility Facility, Wind Tunnel as well as the Road Test Simulator (RTS).

The RTS can place a life of damage on a truck in about one month's time. The Ram development team is focused on locating and repairing any problems prior to the customer does.
