Twin-turbo power with a V8 option
The 2026 Ram 1500 gives you three engine choices, and each one brings plenty of punch. The standard 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo I6 brings 420 hp and 469 lb-ft, and its High Output version climbs to 540 hp and 521 lb-ft. The 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque returns, too, with 395 hp and 410 lb-ft — plenty for confident merges and easy highway miles.
Big screens and wireless phone pairing
The Ram 1500 puts your maps, music, and calls on an available 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen. You'll also find a 12-inch digital cluster behind the wheel and an available head-up display that keeps key info in your line of sight. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect your phone without a cable, so your playlists are ready before you leave the driveway.
Your front passenger gets in on the fun, too, with an available 10.25-inch passenger screen. Lower trims come with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, while mid trims step up to a 12-inch screen. Screen size depends on the trim, so check the listing if a big display matters for your trip.
A cabin designed around each trim
Every Ram 1500 trim gets its own interior design theme, so the cabin changes as you move up the lineup. Choose a Laramie and you'll settle into heated and ventilated leather seats — a welcome touch on a frosty morning or a sticky summer afternoon.
Most trims seat five, and the Express with rear-wheel drive lists seating for six. That means room for the whole crew on a weekend getaway, with space left over for bags and snacks. Look at the trim name on the listing before you book, and you'll know exactly which seats and finishes are waiting for you.
Stand out with a 1500
The Ram 1500 earns its keep when your plans need more room than a car can give. Load the bed for moving day or home projects, pack skis and camping gear for a paved-road getaway, or bring your crew along. To compare it with other pickups, browse all trucks on Turo.

The HEMI comeback
Three highlights set the Ram 1500 apart: the HEMI comeback, generous bed and payload room, and a trim for every taste.
The HEMI V8 is back for 2026 after a one-year absence. Ram marked the return with a "Symbol of Protest" fender badge, a small detail with a big wink to V8 fans. It gives you a classic alternative to the standard twin-turbo six.
Switch into Sport mode and you'll hear the deep V8 sound that HEMI fans missed during its year away. Want that eight-cylinder soundtrack on your highway miles? Look for a Ram 1500 listing with the HEMI under the hood, and enjoy every on-ramp.
Bed and payload room
The Ram 1500 gives you serious cargo room, with a standard payload of 1,920 lbs on the base 4WD truck. That's space for boxes on moving day, flat-pack furniture from the store, or lumber for a weekend build.
Bed lengths come in 5'7" (67.4 in) or 6'4" (76.3 in). The shorter bed keeps the truck easier to park in tight city spots, while the longer bed gives bulky items more room to lie flat. Check the listing for the bed length before you book, and you'll know whether that couch or bookshelf fits before you head out.
A trim for every taste
The 2026 Ram 1500 comes in seven trims: Express, Big Horn, Laramie, Limited, Limited Longhorn, Tungsten, and RHO. Express and Big Horn keep things straightforward and practical, while Laramie steps up the comfort.
Limited and Limited Longhorn lean upscale, Tungsten sits at the top as the luxury flagship, and RHO rounds out the lineup. Depending on the trim, you'll find rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Compare a few listings side by side, then pick the Ram 1500 that matches your plans and your taste.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
