2026 Ram 1500

The 2026 Ram 1500 lineup runs the full spectrum—from the no-nonsense Tradesman to the near-luxury Tungsten. The Tradesman sets the tone with its bold grille, black bumpers, and tough steel wheels, ready to clock in before sunrise. The Express takes that foundation and sharpens it for efficiency, with smart aerodynamics that help stretch every gallon. Step up to the Big Horn (Lone Star) and you’ll find chrome detailing, upgraded wheel options, and a stance that’s all confidence and capability. The Laramie adds a touch of sophistication, dressing its muscle in bright chrome and LED lighting that shines long after the sun dips behind the pines. For Florida’s dirt-road crowd, the Rebel brings grit and gear—chunky all-terrains, skid plates, and off-road suspension that looks the part and backs it up. Then there’s the RHO, new for 2026, channeling desert-runner swagger with a wide-track look and performance-tuned attitude. At the upper end, the Limited glimmers with polished metal and refined detail, while the Limited Longhorn leans into western luxury with intricate badging and satin trim. And crowning the lineup, the Tungsten takes Ram’s craftsmanship to its most premium level yet, with a metallic finish and presence that turns heads.

The spotlight is on Ram’s 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I-6, offered in standard-output and high-output versions. The former delivers strong, responsive torque for daily duty, while the high-output version pushes numbers north of 540 hp and 521 lbs.-ft. of torque, giving this truck serious pull and pace. For those who like their power the traditional way, the 5.7L HEMI V8 returns with its signature growl and proven stamina. And the 3.6L Pentastar V6 remains the efficient, smooth-running choice for lighter work and longer commutes. Every engine pairs with Ram’s 8-speed automatic transmission, known for seamless, decisive shifts that keep the truck composed under any load.

What sets the 1500 apart is how refined that power feels. The chassis is stiff, the suspension forgiving, and the steering tuned just right for Florida’s mix of wide highways and weather-worn backroads. With up to 11,610 lbs. of towing capacity and a 2,360-lb. payload, this truck is as capable as it is calm. 4WD systems channel power with smarts, and selectable drive modes adjust throttle and stability settings to match your terrain. Braking is steady and predictable even with a full trailer, and off-road-focused trims like Rebel and RHO bring lift, approach angle, and skid-plate confidence for when the pavement ends.

Ram has made quiet cabins an art form, with acoustic glass and active noise cancellation muting the outside world. The materials step up with each trim—durable cloth and vinyl on the Tradesman, premium leather and open-pore wood in the upper tiers. The Uconnect 5 system anchors the dash with a crisp, responsive touchscreen—up to 14.5 inches on select trims—paired with a customizable digital cluster and available head-up display. Smartphone integration is seamless, and the optional 23-speaker Klipsch® Reference audio system turns commutes into concerts. Clever storage abounds: in-floor bins, a reconfigurable center console, and rear-seat fold-flat capability. Crew Cab models offer generous legroom and ventilated rear seating—because even the crew deserves comfort.

The 2026 Ram 1500 surrounds you with smart protection. Standard and available systems include Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Pedestrian Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Centering Assist, and Blind-Spot Monitoring with Trailer Coverage. A 360-Degree Surround View Camera, Park Assist, and integrated trailer-brake controller simplify tight maneuvers and hookups. Beneath the tech sits a high-strength-steel frame and a comprehensive airbag network designed for real-world toughness.
