Is the 2019 Ram 1500 a hybrid truck?<\/h3>\n

We wouldn\u2019t go so far as to call the 2019 Ram 1500 a full-on hybrid pickup truck. However, it certainly benefits from technology<\/a> associated with hybrid vehicles and the Environmental Protection Agency has said that the 2019 Ram 1500 with the 3.6-liter, V-6 engine will record 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 miles per gallon on the highway. This engine comes with the\u00a0eTorque\u00a0system as standard equipment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0eTorque\u00a0system consists of a small but powerful electric motor that is attached to the engine by a belt drive. It is powered by a lightweight lithium-ion battery pack that is located behind the rear seats. Drivers will benefit most from the 2019 Ram 1500\u00a0eTorque\u00a0system during heavy traffic conditions. The truck\u2019s engine can be shut down in stop-and-go traffic to help preserve unnecessary fuel from being burned. The battery pack can be charged up in a few ways, including through capturing energy normally lost through braking.<\/p><\/div>\n

Additionally, the\u00a0eTorque\u00a0system can add more torque when need, as its name implies. The 3.6-liter, V-6 engine can get a boost of up to 90 pound-feet of torque and the 5.7-liter, Hemi V-8 engine can benefit from an additional 130 pound-feet of torque.<\/p>\n
