For 2026, Ram listened to MOPAR enthusiasts and brought back HEMI power to the 1500. The stalwart 5.7-liter V8 will joins the Ram 1500’s already extensive engine lineup in mid-2026 with the eTorque system. The feature adds low-speed torque assist and smoother start/stop operation, along with performance-focused features like variable valve timing. At the same time, the automaker is emphasizing Ram 1500 durability with a segment-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The Express is another no-nonsense trim. It makes a couple of targeted upgrades over the Tradesman, though, swapping vinyl for fabric upholstery and adding 20-inch aluminum wheels for a more polished and street-focused look.
With standard four-wheel drive and exclusive styling, the Warlock is aimed at off-road use. It’s made with a Crew Cab and four-wheel drive. Aesthetics define this trim, with Warlock-specific exterior accents and blacked-out styling elements, including 18-inch wheels that hold all-terrain tires.
The Big Horn expands the Ram 1500 lineup with more configuration flexibility and a noticeable step up in appearance. It’s offered in Quad Cab or Crew Cab form and is available with four-wheel drive. The seating shifts to a five-passenger layout with front-row bucket seats, paired with a full-length floor console, carpeted floor mats, and vinyl door-trim inserts. Its exterior upgrades include chrome front and rear bumpers, LED fog lights, unique exterior accents, and 18-inch wheels with a silver finish.
The Laramie marks a clear move into luxury-focused territory. It’s offered exclusively as a Crew Cab and comes standard with the 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine. Inside, the cabin is upgraded with leather and simulated suede upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats with eight-way power adjustability, heated rear seats, and a driver’s-side memory system. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 60/40-split folding rear seat with an armrest, illuminated vanity mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and 120-volt AC outlets round out the comfort and convenience features.
On the outside, the Laramie is distinguished by a chrome grille, LED fog lights, power-folding side mirrors with tilt-down (auto-dimming on the driver’s side), and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels. Infotainment includes a 12-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation, paired with a 10-speaker audio setup.
The Rebel is the Ram 1500’s off-road-oriented trim and comes standard with four-wheel drive. The interior uses a mix of fabric and vinyl upholstery and includes an instrument cluster with both digital and analog display. Black exterior accents, off-road styling treatments, and unique 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires set it apart visually. MOPAR-branded vinyl and rubber floor mats are included.
At the performance end of the Ram 1500 lineup, the RHO is powered by the high-output 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine. Inside, it adds leather upholstery, leather door trim inserts, steering-wheel-mounted sequential shift control, and power-adjustable pedals. The exterior changes are more functional than cosmetic, with the highlights being a flared pickup box, cab clearance lights, and LED brake lights. A larger fuel tank – with a 33-gallon capacity – is another standard upgrade on this trim.
The Limited moves the Ram 1500 firmly into luxury territory with simulated suede and leather upholstery, along with heated and ventilated seats for both rows of passengers. Driver’s-side memory, a wood- and leather-wrapped steering wheel, and leather door trim inserts enhance the comfort and mood of the cabin. Convenience upgrades include a power open-and-close tailgate, power-retractable running boards, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Chrome exterior accents, LED brake lights, and 20-inch wheels with all-season tires upgrade the exterior. The infotainment features include a 10.25-inch touchscreen for the front passenger, and a premium audio system with 19 speakers.
Saddle-inspired leather upholstery and genuine wood interior accents define the Limited Longhorn. Unique seat and door panel embroidery and badging differentiate its interior, while exclusive exterior treatments set it apart visually. The look is completed by special 20-inch wheels not seen on any other Ram 1500 trim.
At the top of the Ram 1500 lineup, the Tungsten focuses on materials and technology. The cabin shows off trim-exclusive leather upholstery, a suede headliner, and 12-way power front seats with power seat-side bolsters. Exterior changes include unique trim treatments, body-color front and rear bumpers, and 22-inch polished aluminum wheels. The safety array is expanded with intersection collision assist featuring left-turn mitigation. A 23-speaker premium sound system provides the ultimate audio experience.
