Power Meets Practicality

The 2026 Ram 1500 combines powerful engine choices, advanced technology, and an industry-leading warranty to deliver one of the most capable and refined full-size trucks on the road. At Fontana Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, drivers across Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, and Riverside can explore the full Ram 1500 lineup — from the work-ready Tradesman to the luxurious Tungsten — and find the right truck for their needs.

Four Powerful Engine Options

The 2026 Ram 1500 offers four distinct powertrains, each paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and available in rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. The standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with eTorque produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque for efficient daily driving. The returning 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with eTorque delivers 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, bringing back the classic V8 character Ram fans demanded. The 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbocharged inline-six is available in standard output (420 hp / 469 lb-ft) and high output (540 hp / 521 lb-ft) configurations, offering the highest towing and performance capabilities in the lineup.

Towing and Capability

Maximum towing capacity reaches up to 11,610 pounds with the standard-output Hurricane engine when properly equipped, while the HEMI V8 tows up to 11,320 pounds. Advanced towing technologies — including Trailer Reverse Steering Assist, Trailer Sway Control, and an Integrated Trailer Health Monitor — make towing safer and easier across the Inland Empire’s highways and terrain.

Technology and Comfort

Inside, the Ram 1500 offers up to 14.4 inches of touchscreen display, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available premium audio systems from Harman Kardon and Klipsch. Available best-in-class 24-way power-adjustable front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage elevate comfort on every drive.

Ten Trim Levels

The 2026 lineup spans ten trims — Tradesman, Express, Warlock, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, RHO, Limited, Limited Longhorn, and Tungsten — with pricing starting at approximately $42,400. Whether you need a rugged work truck, an off-road-capable adventure rig, or a premium luxury hauler, there is a Ram 1500 configured for your lifestyle.

10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty

Every new 2026 Ram 1500 includes a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty for the original owner — the longest in the full-size truck segment. This coverage protects the engine, transmission, and drivetrain, giving you confidence in your investment for the long term.
