Where the 3.6L 6-cyl sits in the 1500 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.
2013–2026 Across the 14 model years both were sold, 5.7L 8-cyl cars ask about $338 more — $22,000 against $21,662.

Which 1500 years got a 3.6L 6-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full 1500 report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.
