The 2026 Ram 1500 runs from the Tradesman work truck to the Tungsten and the high-performance RHO. The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 with eTorque is standard on the Tradesman, Express, Big Horn and Warlock; the 3.0-litre Hurricane twin-turbo six is standard on the Sport, Rebel and Laramie, with a high-output version on the Limited, Limited Longhorn, Tungsten and RHO. The 5.7-litre HEMI V8 with eTorque is available on most trims. Zack and Andrea Spencer have not reviewed the current Ram 1500, so the price and engines here come from Ram Canada's 1500 page. Ram Canada's page text does not give output, towing or payload figures.
