For those who are looking to buy a Ram 1500 and want to enjoy V8 power, there's exciting news from our dealership in Ann Arbor, Michigan: the Ram 1500 is reintroducing the legendary HEMI V8 engine option for the 2026 model year! After a brief hiatus, the potent HEMI V8 returns to power select trims of this highly capable full-size new Ram pickup. With 395 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque on tap, the HEMI V8 enables the 2026 Ram 1500 to handle even the most demanding towing and hauling tasks with ease.
The HEMI V8 will be available on the following trims of the 2026 Ram 1500: Big Horn/Lone Star, Express, Warlock, Laramie, Limited, and Longhorn. This diverse range of trims allows truck buyers to get the ideal combination of performance, comfort, technology and style to suit their needs and preferences. This includes cabin configurations like Crew Cab with either a short or extra short bed, as well as a Quad Cab short bed layout.
Beyond the reinstated HEMI V8, engine choices on the 2026 Ram 1500 include an efficient 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, a 48-volt 3.6-liter eTorque V6, and a powerful turbocharged I-6 with up to 540 horsepower. All are paired with either an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2026 Ram 1500 can be equipped with rear-wheel drive or one of several different four-wheel drive systems depending on trim and configuration.
The 2026 Ram 1500 also offers an array of technology and many onboard amenities. Available features include a large 14.4-inch touchscreen display with Uconnect 5 navigation, wireless charging pads, panoramic sunroof, passenger interactive display, head-up display, 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system, and buttery leather seating with ventilation and massage functions.
On the safety front, cutting-edge driver assistance systems like hands-free Active Driving Assist, drowsy driver detection, intersection collision assist, traffic sign recognition, 360° surround view camera, and more provide confidence and peace of mind on every journey.
Truck owners who plan to venture off the beaten path can opt for the Off Road Group that equips the Ram 1500 with a lifted suspension, off-road shock absorbers by the Falken brand, select-speed control, electronic locking rear differential, protective skid plates, and a 33-gallon fuel tank.
