POWER AND PERFORMANCE
The 3.0L Hurricane straight-six twin turbo engine is the next evolution of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) technology. The firing order, number of main bearings, the crank design, all work together to deliver a smoother, more efficient, and more powerful powertrain. It's the most power-dense package RAM has ever offered. There's more power per litre than the supercharged alcohol-injected HEMI®-powered Dodge Demon 170 — along with the incredible torque on demand that inline designs are known for, as well as superior fuel economy.
The foundation of the Hurricane engine is a deep-skirt cast-aluminium block with structural aluminium alloy oil pan. The strongest RAM engine ever uses cross-bolted steel main bearing caps to contain the robust rotating assembly of a forged-steel crankshaft and forged-steel connecting rods. During manufacturing, the block is deck-plate honed to optimize the cylinder bore shape, which helps improve fuel efficiency.
Each turbocharger in the Hurricane straight-six twin-turbo feeds three cylinders. From a performance standpoint, two smaller turbochargers with less inertia spin up faster and deliver boost to the engine at lower rpm than a single, large turbo. The result? The Hurricane twin-turbo flexes its muscle with a broad, flat torque band that sees the engine maintain at least 90% of peak torque from 2,350 rpm all the way to its red line.
Without a doubt, the Hurricane powertrain is the next evolution in the proud RAM tradition of power and performance.
MORE POWER, MORE EFFICIENT
When it comes to fuel consumption, the figures for the 3.0L Straight Six 420hp engine in the 1500 Hurricane range show approximately 12% less fuel consumption* (10.74L/100km^), when compared with the 5.7L HEMI V8 (12.2L/100km^)! Achieving even a small reduction in fuel consumption, adds up to a noticeable difference on each and every tank. With the Ram 1500 Straight-Six Twin Turbo engine you get the muscle of a truck built to work, without paying extra at the pump.
Stealth By Looks, Stealth by Nature
At first glance, it’s unmistakable. Black accent details from front to rear deliver a confident, no-nonsense stance. From the aggressive Sports Hood to the 20-inch black rims and dual black exhaust tips, every detail has been designed to project strength without excess. It’s a look that feels perfectly matched to its leading capabilities. Black Edition gear includes:
- Mopar Sport Performance Hood
- Black Grille, Grille Surround and Black Badges
- Black Door Handles and Mirror Caps
- Mopar Black Flat Side Steps
- Dual Black Exhaust Tips
Practical, Dependable Safety
The new Express isn’t just loaded with practical safety equipment, it provides backup you can rely on. It keeps you aware, in control, and ready for whatever the road throws your way. Our advanced safety tech works quietly in the background, giving you confidence on every drive. From active lane management, which keeps you on track, to blind spot monitoring with rear cross-path and trailer detection, giving you more awareness in blind spots for your truck and your trailer. Other practical safety aids include: ParkView® rear back-up camera, adaptive cruise control to cruise smarter, forward collision warning acting as an extra set of eyes ahead to detect potential collision risks and actively assist with braking if needed.
Interior Styling & Space
Inside, refined black interior accents and a practical five-seat layout ensure it’s as comfortable on the weekday run as it is on the weekend getaway. Bucket seats with durable cloth trim and a full centre console give you control and space where it matters most.
But this isn’t just about presence, it’s about comfort where it counts.
