Get used to it. RAM is no longer part of the Dodge clan; it’s a brand in and of itself. The powerful 1500 is available with three different engines. The ST is equipped with a 3.7L V6 that develops 215 hp and 235 lbs.-ft. of torque, and the SLT calls on a 4.7L V8. All other versions get a 5.7L V8 that produces a total of 390 hp.
