Ever since Dodge rolled out the Hellcat engine in the Charger and Challenger, rumors have been circulating of other applications. And the latest has it finding its way under the hood of the new Ram 1500 pickup.
According to rumors on the 5thGenRams forum, FCA’s truck brand is preparing to launch two new versions of the Rebel – both with big V8 engines.
As Motor1 reports, the lower-spec of the two is anticipated to be called the Rebel TR. It’s said to feature a new, bored-out version of the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 called Banshee. Naturally aspirated and displacing 7.0 liters, the engine is rumored to produce 520 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. Above that, Ram is tipped to slot in the Rebel TRX. This model is slated to use the same Hellcat engine as the Charger and Challenger. The 6.2-liter supercharged V8 kicks out 707 hp and 650 lb-ft.
