The 30 Most Powerful Trucks on the Road

2018 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel – 420 lb.-ft.

The RAM 1500 stood out in 2014 when it became the first half-ton pickup in modern times to offer drivers a turbocharged diesel engine. As of 2018, it was still the only auto in its class to do so. The EcoDiesel has a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel engine that works with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 420 pound-feet of torque from this pickup are supplemented by its 240 horsepower. The “EcoDiesel” in the name is not much of an exaggeration, as the truck gets 27 mpg highway. There are also two fuel tank sizes, so you do not have to stop to fuel up often.
