Overview
The Ram 1500 replaced the legendary Hemi V8 with Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six engines for 2026 — a controversial but defensible decision. The standard 420 hp and 469 lb-ft beat the old Hemi, and the high-output version delivers 540 hp. The available air suspension remains the Ram's trump card — no other full-size truck rides this well. The interior quality leads the segment by a wide margin.
Key Highlights
- All-new Hurricane engines replace the Hemi V8
- Best-in-class interior comfort
