The 2026 Ram 1500 in a Nutshell
Ram has consistently been number three in terms of full-size pickup sales, and it’s been that way for decades now. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s lagging behind, as it remains a hugely popular model among pickup shoppers. The 1500 has long been the bread-and-butter model of the Ram brand, and it helps that there’s a wide variety of models available.
Updated for the 2026 model year, the return of the Hemi V8 is the main highlight here. That gives the 1500 even more engine options, and the move has been positively received. If anything, it did wonders for the pickup, as Ram has scores of customers lining up for it.
2026 Ram 1500 Lease Deals for February
Just like last month, there’s only one Ram 1500 model offered with a lease deal this February. It’s specifically for the Big Horn 4×4 with a Crew Cab body and a 5’7″ bed. Yes, it’s really that specific. The offer goes for $469 per month for 39 months with $3,999 due at signing.
That promo is for returning lessees only, though, and it’s likely going to be higher for coming from a different brand. As always, it’s $0.30 for every mile over 10,000 miles per year, and the offer is valid until March 2, 2026.
2026 Ram 1500 Highlights
Excluding the SRT TRX, prices for the Ram 1500 ranges from $41,575, all the way to $88,645. There are nine trims to choose from, namely Tradesman, Express, Warlock, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, RHO, Limited, Longhorn, and the Tungsten. Bed sizes available are in 5’7″ and 6’4″ lengths, and body styles consist of Quad Cab (short rear doors) and Crew Cab (full-size rear doors).
For engines, lower trims get the 3.6-liter V6 with 305 hp and 269 lb-ft as standard. Most models get a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six Hurricane with 420 hp and 469 lb-ft as standard, but the mild-hybrid 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is an option for several variants. For those curious, that Hemi is good for 395 hp and 410 lb-ft. For the more expensive models, those come with the Hurricane HO (High Output) that punches out 540 hp and 521 lb-ft.

Final Thoughts
It might not be at the top of the sales charts, but the Ram 1500 is a solid full-size truck. It offers utility in spades, and it’s one of the most comfortable pickups out there. Mid-spec models offer loads of standard equipment, offering good value along the way. With a wide array of configurations to choose from, there’s a 1500 that suits every budget, want, and need.
