Used in classic trucks and legendary muscle cars up until 1971, the HEMI was revived in the early 2000s. Ram trucks started coming equipped with the 5.7-liter HEMI, then enthusiasts received the massive 6.2-liter HEMI V8 D170, that powered the Dodge Hellcat. When every major HEMI engine is ranked, from least to most horsepower, the top spot features one with 1500 horses.

Therefore, when Chrysler introduced the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 as an option for the 2014 Ram 1500 pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee, it was a bit of an anomaly, albeit a welcome one to those who wanted an efficient engine with low-end grunt in a half-ton truck or sport-utility vehicle.
