Where the 4.7L 8-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.

The 4.7L 8-cyl Ram: common questions

Which Ram years have the 4.7L 8-cyl?

2002–2012, without a break — 11 model years in our VIN decode, across 80 factory configurations and 73,211 VINs.

What does a 4.7L 8-cyl Ram cost?

$8,800 is the typical asking price across the 657 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 4.7L 8-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.
