What’s New for the 2026 RAM 1500?
Publié 4 juillet 2025
If you thought full-size pickups had already hit their peak, the 2026 RAM 1500 is here to prove otherwise. With bold new looks, big power, and class-exclusive tech, RAM has taken everything drivers love about this legendary truck and cranked it up. Whether you’re hauling gear across Prince Edward Island or just want a truck that turns heads in Summerside, the 2026 RAM 1500 blends rugged strength with modern sophistication.
First Impressions: A Bolder, Smarter Truck
From the moment you lay eyes on it, the 2026 RAM 1500 looks like a pickup that means business. Sharp new design cues make this the most aerodynamic RAM 1500 yet, and with options like the new Black Express Edition, you get aggressive blacked-out styling from the bumpers to the wheels. Looking for something trail-ready? The Warlock is back, riding high with off-road suspension, distinctive badging, and that lifted stance outdoor adventurers love. But it's not just about looks. This truck is loaded with smart tech from bumper to bumper, making it a real leap forward in the segment.
New Engine Lineup: Built for Real Work
The 2026 RAM 1500 delivers serious power with a fresh set of engine choices. Gone is the standard V6, taking its place is the all-new 3.0-litre Twin-Turbo Hurricane I6 engine, offering more horsepower and torque than the outgoing V8. RAM didn’t stop there. If you want something that truly hauls, the High Output (HO) version of the Hurricane engine delivers even more performance without sacrificing efficiency.
Of course, RAM is keeping the legendary 5.7-litre HEMI® V8 available because when a motor has built its name on decades of reliability, it’s worth keeping around. This lineup gives Summerside drivers flexible options whether they’re towing trailers, carrying heavy loads, or just hitting the open road.
Interior Luxury You Can’t Miss
You wouldn’t normally call a pickup luxurious, but that’s exactly what the 2026 RAM 1500 brings to the table. Step inside and you’re met with available 24-way power front seats (yes, 24!), an ultra-premium Klipsch® Reference Premiere Audio System with 23 speakers, and upscale materials throughout the cabin.
And the tech? It’s next level. A class-exclusive 14.5-inch Uconnect® touchscreen dominates the dash, offering split-screen capability so the driver and passenger can run different apps simultaneously. Add in the available 10.25-inch front passenger display and a massive 12-inch digital gauge cluster, and you’ve got one of the most connected interiors in any truck on the road.
Capability You Can Count On
Power is one thing, but what good is a truck if it doesn’t do the hard stuff? The 2026 RAM 1500 is more than capable, offering a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,130 kg with the available 5.7-litre HEMI® V8. Whether you're hauling your camper to Cavendish or towing work equipment across the Island, this truck gets it done.
Plus, selectable drive modes (Normal, Tow, Snow, Sport, and Off-Road) make sure you’re always in control, no matter the terrain or weather PEI throws your way. And with the available Class‑Exclusive Active‑Level™ Four Corner Air Suspension, the truck automatically lowers for better efficiency on the highway, then raises again when the trail gets rough.
Safety Comes Standard
Of course, RAM has also packed this truck with serious safety tech. From adaptive cruise control to lane keep assist, Selec‑Speed™ Control, and blind spot monitoring, the 2026 RAM 1500 helps you stay confident and protected, whether you're commuting through downtown Summerside or exploring rural backroads.
Ready for PE Roads and Beyond
The 2026 RAM 1500 isn’t just a step forward, it’s a full stride into the future of full-size pickups. With smart new engines, bold styling, tech-loaded interiors, and serious capability, this truck is ready for work, play, and everything in between. If you’re in the market for a truck that works as hard as you do and looks good doing it, come see the new RAM 1500 at Summerside Chrysler Dodge in Summerside, PE.
