Producing 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque, this big V8’s specs would have been class-leading several years ago.

For those folks, there really is no replacement for displacement.Ģ0, 5.7-Liter Hemi V8: Ram’s most potent engine choice, the 5.7-liter Hemi, simply cannot keep up with the more modern options offered by the other manufacturers. Still, many truck owners still prefer the sound and feel of these big V8s over the smaller, turbocharged competition. And higher elevations will reduce the power output significantly compared to forced-induction engines which can overcome those oxygen-starved environments much more easily. Being a naturally-aspirated engine, these V8s do require higher rpm to reach their power ratings than the turbocharged competition. There are some potential downsides to consider, however.

And, while their outputs might not be the most impressive in this class, 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque should get the job done for just about anyone. Runners-Up 2021 Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500, 6.2-Liter V8:With the biggest V8 available in any half-ton truck, it should come as no surprise that the Silverado/ Sierra twins pack some serious power. Sure, the 400 horsepower isn’t very impressive in a field where many trucks boast well north of 400, the 413 lb-ft rating means this Titan can get some seriously heavy loads moving with ease. Because its payload and towing specs put it much more closely in line with other half-tons, that’s where we decided it should be for this list.īecause it offers a larger diesel engine than any other pickup in this category, the Titan XD equipped with the Cummins V8 easily bests all others when it comes to torque. Torque Winner: 2021 Nissan Titan, 5.6-Liter DOHC 32-Valve V8 EngineNow, there is some dispute as to whether the Titan should even be considered a half-ton. While the engine is only available as either an expensive option or standard on high-level models such as the Raptor and Limited trim package, for those who prioritize power over everything, this is the only half-ton to consider.
