About the 2026 Ram 1500
The 2026 Ram 1500 is a full-size, light-duty pickup that starts at $41,575 and runs to about $89,000 for a loaded Tungsten across ten trims. It offers four engines: the 305-horsepower 3.6L Pentastar V6, the returning 395-horsepower 5.7L HEMI V8, and the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six in 420- and 540-horsepower forms, all on an eight-speed automatic. Two cab styles, Quad Cab and Crew Cab, pair with 5-foot-7-inch or 6-foot-4-inch beds. Properly equipped, it tows up to 11,610 pounds, enough for most South Jersey boats and trailers heading down to the Shore.
The headline news for 2026 is the return of the HEMI V8 alongside the Hurricane sixes, giving buyers both the modern twin-turbo and the traditional V8. Ram also doubled its powertrain coverage to 10 years or 100,000 miles. The High-Output Hurricane, at 540 horsepower, leads the half-ton class on power and anchors the RHO, Limited, Limited Longhorn, and Tungsten, while the V6 still carries the lineup's highest payload at 2,360 pounds. Every new purchase at Lucas CDJR in Lumberton also includes free lifetime oil changes.
