2026 Ram 1500 · A V8 engine

Which 2026 Ram 1500 trims have a V8 engine?

Eight of the ten trims confirmed. A engine is optional on the Tradesman, Express, Warlock, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Limited and Limited Longhorn. Our data doesn't verify it on the RHO and Tungsten. The cheapest Ram 1500 with it costs $47,670. It's a Tradesman with the 5.7L HEMI V8 eTorque.

Our Ram 1500 data has ten on the Crew Cab with the 5-ft 7-in bed, their modeled engines and drive systems, and the sourced and towing combinations. It doesn't have other cabs and beds or every equipment and appearance yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.

About these comparisons

Each illustration and link uses the build behind its number. Comparisons cover the model years and bodies in our guides. Different rows can use different trims and equipment. Missing values aren’t treated as zero; reported prices and inferred ratings aren’t ranked.

  • Lowest listed trim price in each guide, before destination, options, taxes and fees. Cab and body styles can differ.
  • Highest published output found in each guide. This compares available power, not acceleration or the trim you selected.
  • Highest published rating found in each guide, with required equipment. Actual truck labels, occupants and cargo determine your limit.
