What's New for the 2026 Ram 1500?

Drivers can enjoy the return of the HEMI engine option. Plus, consider the new entry-level Express trim for easy access to a powerful truck like the Ram 1500.

Performance

Truck shoppers in the Ashland area will appreciate the Ram 1500's stout engine lineup, offering four compelling options to suit a range of needs. Standard motivation comes from a 3.6-liter V6 featuring eTorque mild-hybrid technology, generating a capable 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. For more muscle, two variants of the potent three-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six offer either 420 horsepower/468 pound-feet in the standard output or a whopping 510 horsepower/500 pound-feet in high output guise. And for traditionalists, the timeless 5.7-liter HEMI V8 brings its classic 395 horsepower growl. Mated to the smooth, efficient TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, any engine you choose will deliver robust acceleration and ample passing power on the highways around Grants Pass.

When properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 1500 can confidently tow up to 12,750 pounds, allowing you to bring along a boat, camper, or large trailer. Need to transport hefty cargo? The Ram 1500 can also handle payloads up to 2,300 pounds. An available air suspension provides a stable, controlled ride, while an integrated trailer brake controller and blind spot monitoring with rear cross path detection help you tow with confidence.

Interior

While certainly rugged and capable, the Ram 1500 also excels at keeping occupants comfortable. The spacious, well-appointed cabin boasts premium materials like available leather upholstery, genuine wood accents, and sleek metallic trim. Highly adjustable front seats offer custom support, with available power lumbar adjustments and heating/ventilation, ensuring comfort in any season on long drives out past Central Point. Rear seat passengers will enjoy the generous legroom and available heated cushions. Innovative storage solutions, including an available dual-level glove box, center console, and in-floor compartments, maximize space for smaller items.

Exterior

Outside, the Ram 1500 makes a bold statement with its muscular lines, prominent grille, and distinctive lighting signatures. Multiple grille designs allow you to select a look that fits your style, from the base black mesh to the eye-catching chrome of higher trims. Wheel options range from 18 to 22-inch alloys in various finishes. Practical touches like power side steps, a dampened tailgate, cargo tie-down hooks, and the clever RamBox sidewall storage compartments enhance the truck's everyday usability. For those seeking off-road adventure outside Medford, the rugged Rebel trim boasts an electronic locking rear differential, hill descent control, tow hooks, and all-terrain tires to take you far off the beaten path.

Technology

In terms of tech, the infotainment system now comes standard, accessed through a vibrant 8.4-inch or expansive 12-inch touchscreen. With intuitive controls and sharp graphics, this system integrates essential functions like navigation, audio, and smartphone mirroring via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Staying connected and charged up is a breeze thanks to conveniently located USB ports and an available wireless device charging pad. A customizable digital driver information display keeps vital vehicle data at a glance, while an available head-up display projects key information onto the windshield for easy viewing.

Safety

Every Ram 1500 now includes adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, and lane keeping assist, which gently steers the truck back into its lane if it begins to drift. Blind spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection alerts you to vehicles in your blind spots or approaching from the side while backing up. Available features like automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system provide added peace of mind in various driving situations around Grants Pass and beyond.

2026 Ram 1500 Trim Levels

The entry-level Tradesman is well-equipped with essentials like air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a Uconnect 5 infotainment system. Stepping up to the Big Horn or Lone Star adds creature comforts like cloth upholstery, fog lights, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The Laramie introduces luxury touches like leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a larger touchscreen display. For the ultimate in refinement, the Limited and Limited Longhorn trims offer premium leather, genuine wood accents, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system. Off-road enthusiasts will appreciate the Rebel's rugged upgrades, including skid plates, tow hooks, and all-terrain tires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Ram 1500 tow a fifth wheel?

The Ram 1500 is not typically designed for fifth-wheel towing. Fifth-wheel trailers require a special hitch mounted in the bed of the truck, and this setup is more common in heavy-duty trucks like the Ram 2500 or 3500. While it may be technically possible with modifications, it's not recommended due to payload and frame limitations.

How much can the Ram 1500 tow?

The towing capacity of the 2026 Ram 1500 varies depending on the engine, drivetrain, and configuration. As of the latest specs:

  • Maximum towing capacity: Up to 12,750 lbs when properly equipped (usually with the 5.7L HEMI® V8 with eTorque).
  • Lower trims or engines may tow less, so always check the specific model's tow rating.

Does the Ram 1500 use gas or diesel?

The 2026 Ram 1500 offers gasoline engines only. Ram discontinued the EcoDiesel V6 option after the 2023 model year. Current engine options include:

  • 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque (gas)
  • 5.7L HEMI® V8 with eTorque (gas)
  • New Hurricane twin-turbo I6 (gas, available in higher trims)
