2026 RAM 1500 Review

 What's New for the 2026 RAM 1500?

The 2026 RAM 1500 continues to set the standard for full-size pickup trucks, bringing back power, versatility, and innovation. This year, the legendary 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine is reintroduced, producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard on the Limited and Longhorn trims, and it’s optional on others. This V8 engine delivers the strength Wyoming drivers rely on for work and play.

Other available engines include a 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six generating 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, and a high-output Hurricane with an incredible 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. All trims have either coil or air springs and a rear five-link suspension, providing superior handling on Wyoming’s rugged terrain.

New for 2026, the Express trim joins the lineup between the Tradesman and Warlock, offering blacked-out headlights and gray cabin trim. Quad and Crew Cab models also offer the Black Express Package, featuring 20-inch black wheels, sport hood, dark badging, and black upholstery for a bold, trail-ready look.

What Design Features Make the 2026 RAM 1500 Stand Out?

The 2026 RAM 1500 keeps its commanding style with a sculpted hood, tall nose, and bold RAM grille accented by integrated rectangular LED headlights. Its smooth body lines and sharp beltline crease emphasize a modern yet muscular look. With available styling upgrades like the Black Express Package, Gillette drivers can enjoy a customized mix of toughness and sophistication.
