The redesigned 2025 Ram 1500 only offered three engine choices, and none of them were the beloved V-8. So, what did the Ram brand do? They listened to the outcry of their customers and most loyal fans, of course. After a year away, the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine returns for the 2026 model year. In addition to bringing the roaring HEMI, Ram engineers added a new trim level to the lineup with a name that Ram enthusiasts may recognize from models of old, including the Ram 1500 Classic: the Ram 1500 Express.
The 2026 Ram 1500 for sale is offered in 10 brawny trim levels, and (depending on our availability) you can find them all right here at our dealership in San Antonio, TX. That means there’s no shortage of options for you to consider. Discover the array of Ram 1500 trims below:

The 2026 Ram 1500 can be equipped with one of four engines – rest assured that you’ll get powerful performance regardless of which one lies beneath the hood. Check out what each one has in store below.
Take charge with commanding strength in the new Ram 1500 for sale. The standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 powertrain with eTorque pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This tried-and-true V-6 generates 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, yielding a maximum 8,130-pound towing capacity and up to 2,360 pounds of payload strength when properly equipped, though those values come with different configurations. As you’ll see, this is the highest 2026 Ram 1500 payload capacity of any of the four powertrains.
The 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo I-6 engine – along with its high-output variant – was introduced for the previous model and returns for 2026. With 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque, it gives you the power to handle heavy lifting. In fact, it has the highest towing capacity of all the engine offerings: 11,610 pounds.3 This beast of an engine has a payload capacity that tops out at 1,980 pounds.4
To level up your pickup’s responsiveness, choose the high-output 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo I-6. With this powertrain equipped, the Ram 1500 churns out a whopping 540 horsepower and 521 pound-feet of torque. It’s a top choice for drivers who want to maximize output in a full-size truck. While providing the most get-up-and-go potential, it does have slightly lower towing and payload potential than its standard-output iteration: 10,000 pounds3 and 1,490 pounds,4 respectively.
As we’ve already mentioned, the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine is back, delivering the signature thunder of an eight-cylinder engine that so many drivers crave. This powertrain puts out 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to give you the second-highest towing capacity of the bunch, rated for up to 11,320 pounds.3

The Ram 1500 wouldn’t be the versatile and function-focused truck it is without its various cargo bed configurations. There are two box lengths for the 2026 model year: a 6-foot-4-inch bed and a 5-foot-7-inch option. The former can be paired with either a Quad or Crew Cab, while the latter is exclusive to Crew Cab models. The standard dimensions for each are as follows:
The Ram 1500 beds are designed to suit different needs, and there are plenty of practical features available for them, including a spray-in bedliner, multifunction tailgate, and a tri-fold or roll-up tonneau cover, to enhance their usability for various hauling and transportation tasks. The RamBox Cargo Management System is also available.
