We imagine Ram will get access to the Hurricane engine sooner rather than later, but we may not see any smaller engines in one of the company’s pickup trucks for a while. Koval confirmed there are no plans for a turbocharged four-cylinder Ram, like the engine powering the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler 4xe. In those vehicles, the plug-in hybrid drivetrain delivers 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, more than Jeep’s 5.7-liter Hemi V8.
General Motors currently offers a 2.7-liter four-cylinder in its Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks, while Ford doesn’t offer anything smaller than a V6 in the F-150, but offers a twin-turbo V6 as the most potent engine option.
