The Iconic 5.7L HEMI V8 Returns in the 2026 RAM 1500
Posted on June 5, 2025
A legendary engine makes a bold comeback
After a noticeable absence, the legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 engine is back under the hood of the 2026 RAM 1500. RAM is answering the call of enthusiasts who have longed for the return of raw power, that unmistakable sound, and uncompromised performance.
This engine delivers over 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, making it the definition of towing capability and rugged durability. The HEMI V8 is not just about numbers—it’s about thrill, reliability, and a timeless driving experience.
Why bring back the V8 now?
In an era dominated by hybrids and turbocharged engines, RAM has made a bold and refreshing move: listening to its loyal customer base. Drivers of full-size trucks crave instant power, authentic engine feedback, and a responsive throttle—qualities only a naturally aspirated V8 can truly offer.
The strategic return of the HEMI V8 in the 2026 lineup proves RAM’s dedication to blending innovation with tradition. While the new Hurricane engine lineup remains available, RAM now offers the best of both worlds.
