New Engine Lineup: Twin-Turbo Power Replaces V8s

RAM is stepping into the future by replacing its long-running V8 options with two high-performance twin-turbo inline-six “Hurricane” engines:

  • Standard Hurricane: ~420 horsepower, 469 lb-ft of torque

  • High-Output Hurricane: ~540 horsepower, 521 lb-ft of torque

These engines bring improved efficiency and quicker acceleration while still delivering serious towing strength. Plus, the RAM 1500 rides smoother than ever thanks to updated coil-spring rear suspension and available air suspension.

Trims for Every Lifestyle — Including the New Tungsten

From the work-ready Tradesman to the rugged Rebel and ultra-premium Tungsten, the 2026 RAM 1500 has a trim for every need:

  • Tungsten brings luxury features like quilted leather seats, 23-speaker Klipsch audio, and front-seat massage functions

  • Rebel & Off-Road Trims offer skid plates, all-terrain tires, and locking differentials

  • Crew & Quad Cab options, plus 5'7" and 6'4" bed lengths give you flexibility on size and storage

Big Tech & Interior Comfort

Inside, the 2026 RAM 1500 feels more like a luxury SUV than a truck. Highlights include:

  • A massive 14.5-inch touchscreen (available), with a separate passenger screen

  • Updated Uconnect system for seamless smartphone integration

  • Premium interior materials, more cabin space, and improved insulation for a quieter ride

RAM continues to blend durability with upscale comfort in a way few competitors can match.

Towing, Hauling, and Future Hybrid Power

Need to tow a trailer, boat, or camper? The new RAM 1500 offers:

  • Up to ~11,580 pounds of towing capacity

  • Trailer brake controller, trailer health monitor, and other smart towing tech

  • Payload capacity of around 2,300 pounds depending on your configuration

Looking ahead, RAM is preparing to launch the Ramcharger hybrid in 2026 — offering an estimated ~647 hp and towing up to 14,000 pounds — plus an all-electric version coming in 2027.
