The overview

The freshened Ram pickup truck comes standard with 3.6-liter V6 that does the job. The Hemi V8 was dropped for 2025 and replaced by a smooth and refined turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine with 420-hp. High-end versions get a high-output version of this engine with 540-hp. The smooth eight-speed automatic transmission remains. Auto 4WD mode that can stay engaged indefinitely is a plus on slippery surfaces. The Ram remains comfortable riding thanks to its rear coil springs and the cabin is very quiet. Handling is relatively responsive. The rear seat is very roomy in crew-cab models. A large 12-inch infotainment screen is optional. A hands-free driving system comes on high-end versions. A semi-electric 1500 REV equipped with a gas engine as an onboard generator will debut soon. The REV acts as an electric vehicle with a range extender gas engine. It uses the onboard V6 that can recharge its 92-kWh battery on the run, giving the REV a targeted combined 690-mile range. The Hemi V8 was offered again starting with the 2026 model year.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
