offers enhanced fuel economy and reduced emissions while delivering
greater horsepower and torque than other naturally aspirated V-8
and boosted six-cylinder engines in the light-duty segment
- As a clean-sheet design, the Hurricane High Output Straight-Six
Turbo employs a suite of innovative technologies to deliver the
power and efficiency customers desire

strategic plan
The power-rich and versatile 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output
(H/O) Straight-Six Turbo (SST) engine, as tested in a 2025 Ram 1500
Tungsten, has earned a 2024 Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion
Systems award.
This recognition marks the eighth consecutive year that a
Stellantis propulsion system has earned a spot on this prestigious
list. It also represents the second time a 3.0-liter Hurricane twin
turbo engine has been honored by Wards editors.
"We engineered our Hurricane twin turbo engines to be powerful,
efficient, robust and versatile, delivering performance that
enhances the driving experience both on- and off-road, and while
towing," said Micky Bly, Head of
Global Propulsion Systems of Stellantis. "The 3.0-liter Hurricane
High Output engine, standard in the 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten,
exemplifies our ability to satisfy a range of truck customer needs,
offering power, performance, capability and class-leading NHV in
one package."
In the 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten, the 3.0-liter Hurricane High
Output Straight-Six Turbo delivers 540 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft.
of torque. It is paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic
transmission, which optimizes smooth shift changes for fuel
economy, performance and drivability.
"The Hurricane High-Output Straight-Six Turbo packs a powerful
punch from launch to well past legal speed, while also delivering
promised fuel economy that represents an improvement over the HEMI®
V-8 it replaces," says Bob
Gritzinger, Wards editor-in-chief. "I like the assured
rumble from the High-Output I-6. This engine should sway even the
most rabid V-8 buyer into the 6-cylinder family."
Hurricane Family Delivers Big-engine Power with Improved
Efficiency
The 2025 Ram 1500 offers two engine options from
Stellantis Hurricane Twin Turbo family: the 3.0-liter Hurricane I-6
Standard Output and High Output engines. These engines are the most
powerful six cylinders in the light-duty segment, delivering
enhanced fuel economy, reduced and more horsepower and torque than
other naturally aspirated V-8 and boosted six-cylinder
engines.
The foundation of the Hurricane Twin Turbo I-6 engine is a
deep-skirt cast-aluminum block with a structural aluminum alloy oil
pan. As the strongest Ram engine ever, it uses cross-bolted steel
main bearing caps to secure the strong rotating assembly, which
includes a forged steel crankshaft and forged steel connecting
rods. During manufacturing, the block is deck-plate honed to
optimize the cylinder bore shape, contributing to improved fuel
efficiency.
Stellantis propulsion system engineers incorporated innovative
technologies to deliver reduced emissions and achieve big-engine
power, including:
- Two low-inertia, high-flow turbochargers, optimized for each
engine, which feed three cylinders each for rapid throttle
response
- Plasma transfer wire arc (spray bore) coating in the cylinder
bores for an ultra-thin, low-friction wear surface
- High-pressure (5,075 psi/350 bar) direct fuel injection
- Engine-mounted water-to-air charge cooler with a dedicated
cooling circuit
The 3.0-liter Hurricane engines are produced at Stellantis'
Saltillo Engine Plant in Mexico.
Powertrain flexibility, which includes internal combustion,
hybrid and BEV options in global markets to meet customer needs, is
an essential part of Stellantis' Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan
to lead the way the world moves by delivering innovative, clean,
safe and affordable mobility solutions. Stellantis is on track to
become a carbon net zero corporation by 2038, all scopes included,
with single-digit percentage compensation of remaining
emissions.
