Explore the 2026 Ram 1500 at Jeep Chrysler Dodge RAM FIAT of Ontario

The 2026 Ram 1500 arrives with four powertrain options — including the return of the legendary 5.7L HEMI® V8 — ten trim levels spanning work-ready capability to ultra-premium luxury, and more available towing technology features than any previous Ram 1500. Whether you need a dependable Tradesman for job sites across the Inland Empire or a fully loaded Tungsten for daily driving and weekend adventures, the lineup delivers up to 540 horsepower, a maximum towing capacity of 11,610 pounds, and over 50 inches of combined available digital displays.

Four Powertrains: From Efficient V6 to the Iconic HEMI V8

The 2026 Ram 1500 offers four distinct engine options, each paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque mild-hybrid technology produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, delivering up to 22 mpg combined and a maximum towing capacity of up to 8,130 pounds when properly equipped — a practical choice for daily commuting around Ontario, Corona, and Riverside.

For drivers who want more capability, the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six is available in two tunes. The standard-output version generates 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque with a maximum towing capacity of 11,610 pounds, while the high-output version delivers a commanding 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque — more standard horsepower than the Ford Raptor, any Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, or Toyota Tundra.

The biggest news for 2026: the 5.7L HEMI® V8 with eTorque is back. Producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque with up to 130 lb-ft of supplemental launch torque from the eTorque system, the HEMI delivers the unmistakable V8 exhaust note Ram enthusiasts have been demanding — now available on select trims.

Maximum towing reaches 11,610 pounds with the Hurricane SO engine when properly equipped, while maximum payload capacity tops out at 2,360 pounds with the V6.
