We’re excited to announce the 2026 Ram 1500 is coming back with the popular 5.7L HEMI V8 engine after a brief hiatus.
The 2026 Ram 1500 offers four engine options, including the returning 5.7L HEMI V8, a 3.0L Hurricane I6 with Standard and High-Output options, and the 3.6L Pentastar V6. The HEMI V8 makes 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. The Ram 1500 when equipped with the HEMI V8 offers towing capacity up to 11,470 lbs and maximum payload to 1,750 lbs.
Ram has priced the HEMI V8 as a $1,200 upgrade on most trims, making it an affordable option for buyers seeking classic V8 performance. The new engine option will be available on all trim levels except RHO and Tungsten which come standard with the 3.0L High-Output engine. There is a no-charge upgrade for the HEMI with Ram Limited and Longhorn models.
Deliveries are slated to begin this summer, and orders are available now.
