Ram Is Bringing Back The V-8 Hemi⁉️

💥 The HEMI Is Back! Ram 1500 Revives Its V-8 Roar for 2026 After Customer Backlash


They said it was gone for good. They said the future was turbocharged, hybridized, and downsized. But Ram Truck Nation had other plans. After facing an uproar from loyalists, the beloved 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 is officially back in the lineup for the 2026 Ram 1500—because some engines just refuse to go out quietly.

Ram made headlines when it pulled the plug on the HEMI V-8 in favor of newer, more efficient engines. It made even more headlines when Ford and GM didn’t flinch, keeping V-8s alive and well in their own full-size pickups. Cue the collective side-eye from longtime Ram fans.

Now, Ram has swallowed its pride and done the right thing. The HEMI lives again—not because of nostalgia, but because drivers demanded it.

Starting this summer, the thunderous 395-horsepower HEMI V-8 will be back under the hood as a $1200 option on most Ram 1500 models. Whether you’re towing, hauling, or just love that deep growl on the on-ramp, the HEMI delivers the kind of unfiltered muscle that V-6s and turbo-fours can’t replicate—even on their best day.

The reintroduction isn’t just a mechanical decision—it’s a message: Ram still listens to its base. In a time when automakers are sprinting toward electrification and turbocharged efficiency, Ram pulled a U-turn—because loyalty still matters.

The returning V-8 isn’t showing up empty-handed either. It brings with it the eTorque mild-hybrid system—a 48-volt setup that boosts low-end torque and improves efficiency without sacrificing that signature HEMI punch.

We’re still talking about 395 horsepower and a hearty 410 lb-ft of torque, so don’t think for a second this is some soft hybrid compromise. It’s still very much a V-8... just a smarter one.


🔧 Know Your Engines: HEMI’s Role in the New Ram Lineup

For 2026, the Ram 1500 lineup is all about choice. You’ve got:

✔️ The tried-and-true 3.6L Pentastar V-6 (305 hp) for baseline dependability.
✔️ The twin-turbo 3.0L Hurricane inline-six—offered in two flavors: 420 hp and an insane 550 hp.
✔️ And now, the returning hero: the 5.7L HEMI V-8, smack dab in the middle.

It’s not just about numbers—it’s about driving feel, sound, and performance under pressure. And for many truck owners, the HEMI still hits different.

Let’s keep it real: Ram caught heat when it dropped the HEMI. Forums lit up. Longtime fans were not happy. Some even flirted with jumping ship to Chevy or Ford. Ram got the message loud and clear.

Now, they’re answering with action. By bringing back the HEMI, they’re not just correcting a misstep—they’re restoring faith in the brand.

The 2026 Ram 1500 with the HEMI option is already available for order, and trucks are expected to roll into dealerships by late summer. If you’re one of the many who felt left behind by the V-8 retirement, this is your second chance.

Sometimes automakers forget who they’re building for. Ram almost did—but then they remembered. The return of the HEMI isn’t just about horsepower. It’s about honoring the connection between machine and driver. It’s about giving people what they asked for.

In a world moving toward quiet EVs and silent six-cylinders, the 2026 Ram 1500 is once again ready to shake the pavement—one HEMI at a time.
