The Ram 1500 has always been a favourite among Canadian truck owners, offering a strong balance of capability, comfort, and everyday practicality. For 2026, Ram has pushed things even further by introducing bold new upgrades, returning legendary performance, and loading the cabin with advanced technology. Whether you’re hauling gear across Windsor, towing a trailer to cottage country, or simply commuting in style, the 2026 Ram 1500 is designed to handle it all.
What’s New for 2026
This year brings several standout changes that make the 2026 Ram 1500 more exciting than ever. One of the biggest updates is the return of the legendary HEMI® V8 engine, which makes its comeback on select trims for those who want unmistakable muscle and sound. Technology has also taken a leap forward, with the truck now offering the largest available touchscreen in its class at 14.5 inches, complemented by a passenger-specific 10.25-inch display and a fully digital driver cluster. These updates turn the Ram 1500 into one of the most technologically advanced pickups on the market.
The exterior has been reimagined with a bold new look. Drivers are greeted by unique lighting sequences that include walk-up animations, a glowing RAM logo, and redesigned fascia details that give the truck a striking road presence. Inside, the Tungsten trim sets a new benchmark for luxury with premium finishes and an incredible Klipsch audio system featuring 23 speakers, the most ever in a Ram truck.
Power Tuned To Your Needs
Ontario drivers know that performance is the heart of a great truck, and the 2026 Ram 1500 delivers with four available engine choices. At the core of the lineup is the 3.0-litre High-Output Twin Turbo Hurricane engine, which provides remarkable 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque for serious hauling. A second option, the 3.0-litre I6 SO Twin Turbo Hurricane engine, offers a balance of strength and efficiency at 420 horsepower and 421 lb-ft of torque making it ideal for drivers who want versatility in their work and weekend adventures.
For those who prefer proven dependability, the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 with eTorque remains a strong choice, combining everyday performance with solid fuel efficiency. And then there’s the much-anticipated return of the 5.7-litre HEMI V8, which delivers 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.
Impressive Muscle To Haul
Capability is at the heart of the Ram 1500, and the 2026 model continues to lead the segment. Ram has introduced the most available towing technology features ever, making it easier than ever to haul with confidence. Paid with the engine options where the HEMI V8 can pull 5,130 kgs, the 3.6 Pentastar can tow 3,679 kgs, the I6 ISO tows the highest in class 5,245 kgs and 3.0 High output engine pulls 4500kgs. Each engine offers impressive capability for drivers in Canada.
Advanced Technology at Every Corner
Step inside the cabin, and you’ll quickly see why Ram calls the 2026 1500 the most technologically advanced truck in its class. The centrepiece is the Uconnect system with a massive 14.5-inch touchscreen, which not only handles entertainment and navigation but also supports split-screen viewing so driver and passenger can run apps at the same time. Passengers even get their own 10.25-inch interactive display, giving them access to navigation, cameras, and streaming. The driver benefits from a 12-inch digital cluster display and an available head-up display, both designed to keep important information in sight without distraction.
Luxury Inside and Out
Luxury has become a bigger part of the Ram identity, and the 2026 model reinforces this in every trim. From the premium Tungsten interior with Klipsch audio, to the refined finishes of the Limited and the stylish details of the Laramie, each version has its own character. The truck bed also offers practical features like the RamBox cargo management system with lighting and power outlets, as well as an available 2-kilowatt inverter that turns your truck into a portable power station. A remote tailgate adds another layer of convenience, opening and closing at the touch of a button.
On the outside, the truck gets a fresh look with signature LED lighting, new fascia elements, and bold rear badging that makes a statement from every angle. Windsor drivers will especially appreciate the added safety of enhanced LED headlamps and available fog lamps, perfect for navigating both busy city roads and rural routes.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Ram hasn’t overlooked safety. With more than 100 available safety and security features, the 2026 model helps you stay confident on every drive. Hands-Free Active Driving Assist takes the strain out of long highway trips by helping maintain speed, distance, and lane position.
