Following the controversial decision to offer a six-cylinder-only engine lineup in the Ram 1500, the HEMI V8 is already back in the 2026 Ram 1500

When Ram updated the DT Generation 1500 for the 2025 model year, the truck jumped over to Stellantis’s "Atlantis High" electronic architecture. The brand’s version of the Hemi was never designed to operate in that system,

The Hemi V8 produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, and features cylinder deactivation capability to improve gas mileage. Ram promises a towing capacity of up to 11,470 pounds and a payload of up to 1,750 lbs.
