The 2026 RAM 1500 has officially made its debut, redefining what drivers can expect from a full-size pickup. With bold styling, advanced powertrains, and groundbreaking technology, it blends strength with refinement in ways few trucks can match.
Powertrain and Performance: Built for Strength
The 2026 RAM 1500 lineup offers multiple engines tailored to different needs:
- 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque – dependable efficiency for everyday work with 305 horsepower and 269 lbs.-ft. of torque.
- 5.7L HEMI® V8 – legendary muscle with 395 horsepower and 410 lbs.-ft. of torque.
- 3.0L Hurricane I6 Turbo – 420 horsepower and 469 lbs.-ft. of torque.
- 3.0L Hurricane High Output I6 Turbo – an impressive 540 horsepower and 521 lbs.-ft. of torque.
With this range, RAM drivers can choose between proven V8 power and new-generation turbocharged performance. When properly equipped, the 2026 RAM 1500 tows up to 11,610 lbs. and carries a payload of about 2,360 lbs., more than enough for work trailers, campers, or weekend toys.
Interior and Technology: Comfort Meets Connectivity
Step inside, and the 2026 RAM 1500 shows its luxury side. Across trims, you’ll find over 50 inches of available digital displays, including a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, a full digital cluster, passenger screen, and head-up display.
The new Tungsten trim sets a benchmark with 24-way power-adjustable front seats featuring heating, ventilation, and massage. Premium materials, active noise cancellation, and thoughtful storage make the cabin as functional as it is indulgent.
Exterior and Off-Road Capability
Rugged design is matched by real-world utility. The Black Express Edition makes a bold statement with black aluminum wheels, a performance hood, and Mopar tubular steps. Off-road enthusiasts can opt for the Rebel, which adds a one-inch lift, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and Selec-Speed® Control for tackling tough trails.
Whether it’s hauling loads or exploring backroads, the RAM 1500 is built to handle it with confidence.
Safety and Peace of Mind
RAM has equipped the 2026 model with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety technologies, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera System.
Backing it all is America’s best full-size truck powertrain warranty: 10 years / 100,000 miles, underscoring RAM’s commitment to long-term reliability.
The 2026 RAM 1500: Built to Lead
The new RAM 1500 combines legendary strength with modern sophistication. With its mix of powerful engines—including the HEMI® V8—best-in-class technology, and trims that range from work-ready to luxury-focused, it sets a new standard in the full-size truck segment.
