Where the 3.7L 6-cyl sits in the Ram engine lineup

Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years it was fitted; the price is what cars carrying it ask today. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — the only fair comparison is an engine whose years overlap this one's.

VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full Ram report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 3.7L 6-cyl Ram: common questions

Which Ram years have the 3.7L 6-cyl?

2002–2012, without a break — 11 model years in our VIN decode, across 22 factory configurations and 15,599 VINs.

What does a 3.7L 6-cyl Ram cost?

$8,029 is the typical asking price across the 129 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

Is the 3.7L 6-cyl turbocharged?

No — every configuration in this family decodes as naturally aspirated.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

Magnum — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
