Power  
For Magnum engineers, safety is as high a priority as performance. From the big things like safety cage construction right down to the littlest passenger, Magnum isn't just designed to give you performance and versatility. It's designed to give you peace of mind. In fact, Dodge Magnum has received a five-star rating—the highest government frontal crash test rating—for both driver and front-passenger safety.
Multi-Displacement System
Magnum R/T's 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine with the Multi-Displacement System (MDS) is a pure stroke of genius. By switching from eight cylinders to four during cruising and light acceleration, MDS improves fuel economy from 5 to 20 percent, depending on driving habits.
Engines
 
Magnum gives you a choice of three awe-inspiring engines: Magnum SE's 2.7-liter V6, Magnum SXT's high-output 3.5-liter V6, and, for the Magnum R/T, a 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 with the Multi-Displacement System (MDS). Boasting horsepower and torque ratings that most vehicles envy, all three deliver heart-stopping acceleration.
Transmission  
Both Magnum SE and SXT rear-wheel drive models feature a standard four-speed automatic transmission. Taking it up a notch, a five-speed automatic AutoStick® transmission with AutoStick® comes standard on SXT all-wheel drive and RT rear- and all-wheel-drive models.
Towing  

Magnum R/T, when equipped with the Trailer Tow Group, can tow trailers up to 3,800 pounds. Without the Trailer Tow Group, Magnum delivers up to 2,000 pounds of towing capacity when powered by the 3.5- or 5.7-liter engine. Magnum SE's 2.7-liter engine can tow up to 1,000 lbs.

Maintaining a proper ride height is critical while towing or carrying heavy loads. R/T models with the Trailer Tow Group feature a self-leveling rear suspension that adjusts automatically to ensure a constant ride height, no matter what kind of load you're carrying. (Also available on SXT rear-wheel- and all-wheel-drive models.)
