The verdict

What's good

eTorque mild hybrid smooths low-speed torque delivery noticeably
Coil-spring rear suspension gives a noticeably car-like ride loaded
Laramie cabin uses real stitched leather not found at this price elsewhere
26-gallon tank gives class-competitive range between fill-ups

Cabin noise increases meaningfully on rough chip-seal pavement
Front-end styling is polarizing and dates the interior look

The engine

HEMI

5.7L V8 Mild-Hybrid

Ram's 5.7-liter HEMI V8 brings classic American pushrod muscle, now with a 48-volt eTorque mild-hybrid that smooths stop-start and fills in low-end torque for effortless hauling.

The HEMI name — for its hemispherical combustion chambers — is Chrysler legend dating to the 1950s, reborn in 2003 and now lightly electrified for the modern era.

'HEMI' refers to the hemispherical combustion-chamber shape, a Chrysler hallmark since the 1950s.
The eTorque belt-driven motor adds a brief torque boost and runs the stop-start seamlessly.
