of torque was introduced, and further developments throughout the 1990s helped to raise power outputs while increasing towing and payload capabilities. Ram 1500 did it firstĪ new V10 engine with 300 horsepower and 450 lb./ft. Fuel injection began to raise engine outputs, with the available Cummins turbodiesel putting out 400 lb./ft.
A burly three-speed automatic transmission was developed along with a transfer case that allowed drivers to switch between two- and four-wheel drive on the move. Due to tightening emissions regulations, the Ram 1500's 3.7-litre straight-6 engine produced just 95 horsepower, while the available 5.9-litre V8 fared slightly better at 170 horsepower. The Ram 1500 arrived in 1981 featuring simple styling with an "egg-crate" style grille and rectangular headlights.
