2026 Ram 1500 Engines and Powertrain Options

For 2026 the Ram 1500 offers four engines, all paired with an eight-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard on lower trims, with four-wheel drive available across the lineup and standard on the off-road and top trims.

3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque

The standard engine on the Tradesman, Express, Warlock, and Big Horn (Lone Star in some markets) makes 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, with a 48-volt eTorque mild-hybrid system for smoother stop-start and low-end response. It is the value-and-efficiency pick for daily driving and lighter work.

5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque

The returning HEMI makes 395 horsepower and comes with a standard sport exhaust, so you hear it. Ram offers the V8 as an option across most of the lineup, including Tradesman, Express, Warlock, Big Horn, and Laramie, and as a no-charge option on the Limited and Longhorn. It is not offered on the RHO or Tungsten, which run the High Output Hurricane instead.

3.0L Hurricane Standard Output Twin-Turbo I6

This twin-turbocharged inline-six produces 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. It is standard on the Laramie and Rebel and available on lower trims, and it is the towing-and-torque sweet spot for most buyers.

3.0L Hurricane High Output Twin-Turbo I6

The lineup's power leader makes 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard on the high-performance RHO and the luxury Tungsten. If maximum output is the goal, this is the engine.

Towing, Payload, and Capability

Properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 1500 tows up to 11,610 lbs and carries a maximum payload of 2,360 lbs (a rear-drive Quad Cab with the V6 and the 6'4" bed, per Ram). It comes in two cab styles: the Quad Cab with the 6'4" bed, and the roomier Crew Cab with a 5'7" or 6'4" bed. For the full breakdown by engine and configuration, see our Ram 1500 towing capacity guide.

Technology, Interior, and Comfort

The Ram 1500 has one of the most comfortable rides in the full-size class. Inside, Uconnect 5 runs the infotainment, with an available 12-inch touchscreen, a 12-inch digital gauge cluster, and an available front-passenger display, for more than 50 inches of combined available digital displays. Higher trims add features like available 24-way power front seats with heat, ventilation, memory, and massage on the Tungsten (best-in-class, per Ram). For a complete numbers breakdown, see the 2026 Ram 1500 specs page.

Off-Road: Rebel and RHO

Two trims are built to leave the pavement. The Rebel pairs the 420-horsepower Hurricane with a Bilstein suspension and a one-inch raised ride height for trail duty close to the Pine Barrens. The RHO is the high-performance off-roader, running the 540-horsepower High Output Hurricane for serious desert-and-dune capability.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Ram offers more than 100 standard and available safety and security features on the 1500. Available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist allows hands-free highway driving on compatible roads, a real benefit for the daily run up the Turnpike toward Trenton. Every 2026 Ram 1500 is backed by a 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty on select models, which Ram bills as America's best full-size truck powertrain warranty.
