Powertrains for the 2026 Ram 1500

The 2026 Ram 1500 offers a versatile lineup of powertrains to meet a variety of needs. The standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque, which provides 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, is the base engine on Tradesman, Express, Warlock, and Big Horn/Lone Star trims. It delivers efficient daily performance.

Stepping up, the twin-turbo 3.0L Hurricane inline-six is available in two variants:

• The high-output Hurricane generates 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard on Limited, Longhorn, Tungsten, and RHO models.

Finally, Ram has resurrected the beloved 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque. This legendary engine delivers 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque and is now available on nearly every trim, including Tradesman, Express, Warlock, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Rebel, Limited, and Longhorn.

No matter what kind of power you're looking for, this lineup gives you plenty of options!

What's New for the 2026 Ram 1500?

The 2026 Ram 1500 marks a bold shift back toward power and personalization. Following strong customer backlash, Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis admitted they "got it wrong" by dropping the beloved HEMI V8 and committed to bringing it back across most trim levels.

The 5.7‑liter HEMI V8 re-enters the lineup with the new "Symbol of Protest" fender badge, GT performance exhaust, and standard eTorque mild-hybrid assistance, available as an upgrade on Tradesman, Big Horn, Express, Warlock, Laramie, and Rebel trims, and at no additional cost on Limited and Longhorn models. While the twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six is still the lineup's core engine, with both standard-output and high-output versions, the HEMI's return restores customer choice and the signature rumble that enthusiasts craved.

Additionally, Ram officially revives the Express trim as a standard model, featuring blacked-out accents, 20‑inch wheels, and the option of the economical Pentastar V6 or the mid-level Hurricane inline-six, making style and value more accessible than ever.

This lineup update signals Ram's recommitment to performance and their customers by listening to market demand.
