What's New for 2026 on the 2026 Ram 1500 Pickup Truck?

The 2026 Ram 1500 continues to raise the standard for full-size pickup trucks.

If you're shopping for a truck in Baxley, Jesup, Waycross, Brunswick, Savannah, or anywhere in South Georgia, the 2026 Ram 1500 deserves a closer look.

Ram 1500 Engine Options, Powertrain Choices, and Towing Capability

The new 2026 Ram 1500 is the strongest Ram 1500 ever. It offers four engine options, allowing you to choose the right balance of performance, efficiency, and capability.

1. The Ram 1500 3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque delivers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.
2. The Ram 1500 3.0L Hurricane Twin Turbo I6 replaces the traditional V8 for most buyers. The standard-output Hurricane engine produces 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. The standard 3.0L Hurricane Twin Turbo I6 provides significantly more horsepower and torque than the outgoing HEMI while improving fuel efficiency.
3. The Ram 1500 High Output 3.0L Hurricane Twin Turbo I6 is perfect for maximum performance, delivering 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque.
4. The Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 is featured on the Ram 1500 SRT TRX that reigns as the fastest and most powerful production street-legal gas pickup truck ever created. It delivers Best-in-Class 777 HP, Best-in-Class 680 lb-t of torque, and Best-in-Class 118 Top Speed!

The High Output 3.0L Hurricane Twin Turbo I6 is one of the most powerful engines available in any light-duty pickup truck. When properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 1500 can tow up to 11,610 lbs and has a payload of 2,360 lbs! Whether you're hauling equipment, towing a camper to the coast, or pulling a boat for a weekend on the water, the Ram 1500 has the capability to get the job done.

The Ram 1500 Interior: Setting the Bar for Truck Comfort & Tech

The 2026 Ram 1500 continues its reputation as one of the most luxurious full-size trucks on the market. Premium materials, thoughtful design, and advanced technology create a cabin that rivals many luxury SUVs. You'll enjoy premium elements like real wood and aluminum interior accents, massaging front seats, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, and more!

The available 14.5-inch Uconnect touchscreen is one of the largest in the segment and provides quick access to navigation, entertainment, towing information, and vehicle settings. The Ram 1500 also offers several USB charging ports, a digital rear view mirror, a 10.25-inch passenger interactive display, and more.

The Multifunction Tailgate: More Than Just a Tailgate

The available Multifunction Tailgate is one of the Ram 1500's smartest features. Instead of opening only downward like a traditional tailgate, it can also split and swing open 60/40-style barn doors. Combined with the available power tailgate, bed lighting, adjustable cargo tie-downs, and RamBox storage system, loading and organizing equipment becomes easier than ever.

Air Suspension: A Smoother Ride Than Any Competitor

The available Class-Exclusive Active-Level Four Corner Air Suspension is one of the features that truly separates the Ram 1500 from competitors. The system automatically adjusts ride height based on driving conditions and can:

1. Lower the truck for easier entry and exit.
2. Raise the truck for additional off-road clearance.
3. Automatically level heavy loads.
4. Improve highway aerodynamics for greater efficiency.

The result is an incredibly smooth ride that's hard to find in any other full-size pickup.
