Performance & Specs
Ram continues to build on its reputation for performance by offering a versatile lineup of engines designed to satisfy every kind of driver. The familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 with eTorque remains a strong choice, delivering 305 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, with its mild-hybrid assist helping with acceleration and fuel efficiency. For those who demand more muscle, the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 makes its return for 2026, producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. With the eTorque system providing up to 130 lb-ft of additional launch torque, this engine gives you the strength to tow up to 11,320 pounds while carrying 1,650 pounds of payload.
New for 2026, Ram has expanded the availability of its Hurricane family of engines. The High-Output 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six pushes the boundaries of full-size pickup performance, offering more than 500 horsepower while maintaining efficiency gains compared to traditional V8s. In the all-new Ram 1500 RHO, this engine takes things further with 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful gas-powered trucks on the market. Every engine is paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, giving drivers the confidence of consistent performance whether they're driving across Edmond or towing through Kingfisher County.
Capability
The 2026 Ram 1500 is engineered to handle the toughest jobs without hesitation. Properly equipped, it offers a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 pounds, giving drivers the ability to haul everything from heavy equipment to large recreational trailers. Payload capacity reaches up to 2,300 pounds, ensuring that even the most demanding workdays can be tackled with confidence. Ram continues to lead the way in ride quality as well, with its available Active-Level™ Four-Corner Air Suspension adjusting automatically to loads and terrain. This feature not only smooths out rough Oklahoma highways but also improves aerodynamics and efficiency when the truck is cruising.
Off-road enthusiasts will appreciate what models like the Rebel and RHO bring to the lineup. These trims are equipped with aggressive all-terrain tires, locking differentials, skid plates, and enhanced suspension tuning for challenging trails. The RHO adds an extra dose of excitement by offering factory-backed MagnaFlow exhaust systems through Mopar's Direct Connection, allowing owners to fine-tune the sound and performance of their truck. With selectable drive modes including Tow/Haul, Snow, Sport, and Off-Road, the Ram 1500 adapts easily to any environment. From hauling hay outside of El Reno to navigating icy streets in Edmond, this truck has the strength and versatility to excel.
Interior
Step inside the 2026 Ram 1500, and you'll immediately notice why it has long been considered the most refined pickup in its class. Space and comfort are front and center, with Crew Cab models offering best-in-class rear legroom and smart storage solutions throughout the cabin. In-floor bins, fold-flat rear seating, and under-seat compartments make it easy to carry gear securely and conveniently.
The range of materials available reflects the versatility of the truck. Work-ready trims provide durable cloth seating, while upper trims feature Evotex and full-grain leather accented by open-pore wood, suede, and metal details. Noise-dampening glass and active noise cancellation create a serene cabin environment, making long drives from Yukon to Oklahoma City both relaxing and enjoyable. Higher trims, including Limited Longhorn and Tungsten, elevate the experience even further with premium touches that rival luxury SUVs.
Exterior
The exterior of the 2026 Ram 1500 communicates strength and confidence from every angle. Its bold grille design and sculpted hood create a powerful first impression, while sleek LED headlights and taillights deliver both style and improved visibility. Wheel designs range from 18-inch alloys to polished 22-inch aluminum options on higher trims, allowing each model to project its own personality.
Ram continues to offer practical innovations that make ownership easier. The available RamBox® Cargo Management System provides secure, weatherproof storage built right into the bed sides, ideal for tools or recreational gear. The Multi-Function Tailgate remains one of the most versatile features in the segment, with its unique swing-away design offering multiple loading configurations. New exterior color choices broaden customization options, ensuring that drivers from Edmond to Yukon can find a truck that reflects their style while still being built to take on the demands of Oklahoma life.
Technology & Safety
Ram has never been content to let technology take a backseat to capability, and the 2026 Ram 1500 demonstrates that philosophy better than ever. The Uconnect® 5 infotainment system anchors the cabin with an available 14.5-inch touchscreen, which is complemented by a 12-inch digital gauge cluster. Together, these displays provide access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings with clarity and ease. Built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability keeps passengers connected, while over-the-air updates ensure that the truck's software is always current.
For drivers who rely on their truck for towing, advanced trailering technologies simplify challenging tasks. The Trailer Reverse Steering Control system allows for more precise maneuvering, while up to 14 available camera views provide full visibility around the truck and trailer. Safety is also comprehensive, with over 100 standard and available features. Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Detection, and Lane Keep Assist come standard on most trims. For long highway drives, available Adaptive Cruise Control and the 360° Surround View Camera add peace of mind.
Safety isn't limited to equipment alone. The 2026 Ram 1500 continues to be built with high-strength steel and advanced crumple zones to protect occupants in the event of a collision. Families in Oklahoma City and El Reno can drive with confidence knowing that their truck is designed with safety as a top priority.
