So does that mean that it is best to tow keeping the RPM at 1800? That would maximize torque.
Some Calculated Power Figures
So I did some quick math just to explore the rev band available on the RAM 1500 EcoDiesel.
Max Power= 240 horsepower @ 3,600 RPM (351 lb-ft of torque @ 3,600 RPM)
Max Torque= 420 pounds-feet of torque @ 2,000 RPM (159 HP @ 2,000 RPM)
Keep in mind these numbers do not factor in parasitic driveline loss.
Starting with the Max Torque 420 lb-ft @ 2000 RPM, Power equals:
Power at 2000 RPM: 159 HP
Power at 1800 RPM: 144 HP
Power at 1600 RPM: 128 HP
Power at 1400 RPM: 112 HP
Power at 1200 RPM: 96 HP
Power at 1000 RPM: 80 HP
Now, Max Power 240 HP @ 3,600 RPM, Torque equals:
Torque at 3600 RPM: 351 lb-ft
Torque at 3400 RPM: 371 lb-ft
Torque at 3200 RPM: 394 lb-ft
Keep in mind these are crude calculations, but they are a good look and what you can expect.
