nitial Versions of the Hemi-Powered Ram 1500 Are a Hot Commodity

Ram reintroduced the Hemi V-8 to the 1500 pickup for the 2026 model year, and the demand is high.

• Parent company Stellantis said initial units of the Hemi-powered trucks are spending just five days on dealer lots before being purchased.

• Typically, the fastest-selling cars in the United States spend 20 to 30 days at dealerships.

Ram refreshed its popular 1500 pickup truck for the 2025 model year, dropping V-8 engines in favor of Stellantis's new "Hurricane" twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. While the six-cylinder is more powerful and more efficient than the old V-8, Ram owners love the sound of eight cylinders working in harmony, so Ram brought back the 5.7-liter engine for 2026. So far, the move seems to be working, with Stellantis reporting that the initial versions of its Hemi-powered truck are flying off the lot.



Sales of the light-duty Ram 1500 in general rose 10 percent year-over-year in the third quarter of 2025, with 44,349 new trucks finding homes from July to September. That puts the light-duty 1500 up 4 percent through the first nine months of 2025, with 143,264 sales. Unfortunately, Ram doesn't break out sales by powertrain, but the automaker did provide a small tidbit in its latest sales release to show that customers are clamoring for the revived V-8 trucks.
