2026 Ram Pickup

The 2026 Ram 1500 is a full-size light-duty pickup truck offered in quad cab with a 6-foot-4-inch bed or crew cab with 5-foot-7-inch or 6-foot-4-inch beds. It provides towing capacity up to 11,610 pounds and payload capacity up to 2,360 pounds, positioning it with competitors including the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500. The 2026 model carries over the platform from the 2025 redesign and includes engine options such as the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with eTorque that produces 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission in rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive layouts. Other powertrains consist of 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six engines in standard-output and high-output forms, plus the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 available on higher trims.

The Uconnect 5 infotainment system includes a 12-inch touchscreen on base models, expanding to 14.5-inch vertical displays on upper trims, with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Alexa built-in voice commands, TomTom navigation, and customizable widget-based home screens. Select configurations combine for more than 50 inches of digital displays, incorporating an optional 10.3-inch passenger screen. Features encompass Hands-Free Active Driving Assist for highway operation, surround-view cameras, and trailer brake controls for towing. The Uconnect app supports remote functions like engine start, vehicle location tracking, fuel level checks, and route planning via smartphone, alongside over-the-air software updates, though premium navigation and connected services require subscriptions following the trial period.
