The 2022 Ram 1500 Built to Serve Firefighter Edition emulates the Big Horn trim, offering the same interior tech and powertrain options. According to Ram, the standard engine is a 3.6-liter V6 producing 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque.
A 260-hp diesel V6 is optional, as is a 395-hp V8. The V8 can also pair with a mild-hybrid system providing more torque and better gas mileage. Each Built to Serve model also includes the 4×4 Off-Road Group package.
