The standard output model delivers 370 hp and 850 lb-ft, good for a 22,670 lbs tow-rating in the same configuration mentioned above. More interested in torque? Then you need to opt for one of the 6.7-liter turbocharged Cummins turbo diesel engines. An eight-speed automatic is standard, sending power to the rear wheels. This engine allows you to load 7,680 lbs on the bed and tow 18,210 lbs in Tradesman 4x2 Regular Cab configuration. The standard engine is a 6.4-liter naturally aspirated Hemi V8 that produces 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque.
