2026 Ram 1500 Trim Levels
Built upon the legacy of Ram trucks, the 2026 Ram 1500 comes out of the gate with 10 powerful trims available. For 2026, the Ram 1500 introduces the all-new Express trim. Let's take a look at the other configurations drivers can choose from:
2026 Ram 1500 Tradesman
2026 Ram 1500 Express
2026 Ram 1500 Big Horn
2026 Ram 1500 Warlock
2026 Ram 1500 Laramie
2026 Ram 1500 Rebel
2026 Ram 1500 RHO
2026 Ram 1500 Limited
2026 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn
2026 Ram 1500 Tungsten
The truck comes with either a 6-foot-4-inch or 5-foot-7-inch bed and either a Quad Cab or Crew Cab, depending on the trim. The Crew Cab is longer than the Quad Cab and offers more interior passenger space.
2026 Ram 1500 Engine & Power
Upgrading to a new Ram 1500 for sale gives you the power of choice, allowing you to choose from four engines that deliver varying levels of performance. The HEMI V-8 is back for 2026, but drivers can still choose from the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and two twin-turbo options: the 3.0-liter Hurricane and High-Output 3.0-liter Hurricane engines. Let's dive into the specs:
2026 Ram 1500 Performance
3.6-liter Pentastar V-6
305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque
Maximum towing capacity of up to 8,130 pounds when properly equipped
Maximum payload capacity of up to 2,360 pounds when properly equipped
5.7-liter HEMI V-8
395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque
Maximum towing capacity of up to 11,320 pounds when properly equipped
Maximum payload capacity TBA
3.0-liter Hurricane Twin-Turbo I-6
420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque
Maximum towing capacity of up to 11,610 pounds when properly equipped
Maximum payload capacity of up to 1,930 pounds when properly equipped
High-Output 3.0-liter Hurricane Twin-Turbo I-6
540 horsepower and 521 pound-feet of torque
Maximum towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped
Maximum payload capacity of up to 1,490 pounds when properly equipped
To unlock the highest horsepower and torque performance for your towing and hauling needs, choose the High-Output engine; however, to achieve the greatest towing capacity that this pickup offers, the Hurricane or HEMI powertrains are the way to go. The base V-6 engine is excellent for towing lighter loads and delivering high fuel economy.
2026 Ram 1500 MPG
While the gas mileage is going to depend on the trim level, drivetrain, bed size, cab style, and engine option, here's what you can expect:
With the base 3.6-liter V-6 engine, rear-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic transmission, you'll enjoy up to an EPA-estimated 20/25 MPG (City/Highway).
Pairing the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with rear-wheel-drive and the standard eight-speed automatic returns an impressive EPA-estimated 17/22 MPG (City/Highway).
Equipped with the 3.0-liter Hurricane Twin-Turbo engine, rear-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic transmission, your truck can achieve up to an EPA-estimated 18/25 MPG (City/Highway).
Opt for the High-Output 3.0-liter Hurricane with four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, and you'll see up to an EPA-estimated 15/21 MPG (City/Highway).
