The HEMI V8 is back for 2026 - and it is not the only way to move a Ram 1500
Quick answer: Yes, the 5.7L HEMI V8 returns to the 2026 Ram 1500 after being dropped from the redesigned lineup. It makes 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft with eTorque mild-hybrid assist and is available on nine Crew Cab 4x4 trims equipped with the 5-foot-7 box.
The story on the 2026 Ram 1500 is choice. When Ram redesigned the 1500, it moved to the 3.0L twin-turbocharged Hurricane inline-six and set the V8 aside. Enough buyers asked for the V8 that Ram brought the 5.7L HEMI back for 2026. That means the half-ton you order at Terrace Chrysler can be built the way you want it: the proven V8 rumble, the efficiency-minded V6, or the high-output six that out-muscles the old V8 on paper.
Here in the Northwest, that choice matters. A contractor running gravel roads out to a job site wants different power than a family towing a boat to Lakelse on the weekend. Our team walks through how you actually use the truck before we point you at an engine, because the right Ram 1500 is the one matched to your loads and your kilometres.
3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque
The standard engine on the work-focused grades: 305 horsepower and 271 lb-ft, with eTorque mild-hybrid assist for smoother stop-start and a bit of extra low-end shove. Ram Canada rates it at roughly 9.7 L/100 km combined in its most efficient configuration. It is the sensible pick for a daily-driver half-ton that still needs to pull a utility trailer now and then.
5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque (back for 2026)
395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft, with the eTorque mild-hybrid system. This is the engine a lot of long-time Ram owners have been waiting for. It carries a strong tow rating (up to about 10,170 lb / 4,613 kg properly equipped) and the V8 character that no turbo six quite replicates. Available on nine Crew Cab 4x4 trims with the 5-foot-7 box.
3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six (Standard and High Output)
The Standard Output Hurricane makes 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft. Step up to the High Output version and you get 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft - the engine at the heart of the Ram 1500 RHO, the off-road performance flagship. Both deliver more torque than the outgoing V8 and back it with the segment's best-in-class towing when properly equipped.
HEMI, Hurricane or Pentastar? Ask us to compare the three side by side for the way you tow and the kilometres you drive. We will spec the engine, cab and axle ratio to match, then check what is landing on the lot.
2026 Ram 1500 trims and pricing
Quick answer: The 2026 Ram 1500 spans work-truck to luxury, from the Tradesman through Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, Limited and the Tungsten range-topper, plus the high-performance Ram 1500 RHO. Canadian pricing starts at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $55,790 for the Tradesman.

Tradesman, Express and Warlock
The work and value grades. Vinyl or cloth, a capable standard V6, and the option to add the returning HEMI on the right configurations. This is the honest work truck end of the lineup - and still a modern Ram inside.
Big Horn, Sport and Rebel
The grades most Northwest BC buyers land on. Big Horn brings the comfort and content step-up; the Rebel adds a factory off-road setup - raised ride height, skid protection and a more aggressive look - for gravel, snow and the logging-road detours that come with living up here.
Laramie, Limited Longhorn and Limited
The premium grades. Expect leather-trimmed seating, the larger Uconnect 5 touchscreen, premium audio and a quiet, composed highway ride for the long Highway 16 hauls between towns.
Tungsten and Ram 1500 RHO
The two flagships. Tungsten is the top luxury Ram 1500. The Ram 1500 RHO is the performance halo, built around the 540-horsepower High Output Hurricane six for serious off-road speed. If you want the most refined or the most capable Ram 1500, these are the bookends.

Uconnect 5
A fast, modern infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a standard 8.4-inch touchscreen and an available 14.5-inch display on the upper grades.
Blind-spot monitoring
Available blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection adds confidence when changing lanes or backing a trailer.
Adaptive cruise control
Available adaptive cruise control holds a set following distance - genuinely useful on long Highway 16 runs between towns.
eTorque mild hybrid
Available on the V6 and HEMI V8, eTorque smooths stop-start and adds low-end assist without changing how you use the truck.
Driver-assist features are aids and do not replace safe, attentive driving. Feature availability varies by trim, package and configuration.
Towing, payload and capability
The 2026 Ram 1500 is built to pull. Properly equipped, it tows up to about 11,610 lb and carries a payload up to roughly 2,360 lb, depending on cab, box, drivetrain and axle ratio. The returning 5.7L HEMI V8 is rated to tow up to about 10,170 lb (4,613 kg) with a payload up to about 1,650 lb (748 kg). Class-available features like the multifunction tailgate, RamBox cargo system and available air suspension make the truck easier to load, level and live with. Actual towing and payload numbers depend on how the truck is built - our team confirms the exact rating for the configuration you are considering before you commit to a trailer.
Not sure what you can tow? Tell us your trailer and typical load and we will match the engine, cab and axle ratio to the rated capacity you need - and show you what is in stock or how to order it.
