Ram 1500: information, price and comparisons

The Ram 1500 is the full-size pickup known for its ride comfort, with coil-spring rear suspension and some of the most upscale cabins in the segment. After a tough 2025, when Ram pickup sales in Canada fell 25%, the truck is recovering in 2026 with sales up 14% through September, and the 5.7L HEMI V8 has returned. Every Canadian Ram 1500 has four-wheel drive, and buyers can choose from a 305 hp V6 up to a 777 hp supercharged V8 in the returning TRX. The 2027 model is on order now, with new Rumble Bee models, while 2026 trucks still in stock carry a 10-year, 160,000 km powertrain warranty that ends with the 2027 model year.

Is the Ram 1500 right for you?

  • Buy it if ride comfort and cabin quality matter as much as capability. The coil-spring rear suspension rides more smoothly than leaf-spring rivals.
  • Buy it if you want a V8: the 5.7L HEMI is back for 2026 in Crew Cab trucks.
  • Buy a 2026 if you plan to keep the truck a long time; its 10-year powertrain warranty is not offered on 2027 models.
  • Look elsewhere if you want a regular cab, a long list of cab and box choices, or the lowest starting price. The F-150 and Silverado start for less.
  • Look elsewhere if you want a hybrid or EV now. The range-extended Ram 1500 REV has been delayed to 2027.

Every engine uses an eight-speed automatic. The Hurricane SO is the efficiency surprise of the range: more power than the HEMI, with better fuel consumption. Early in the 2027 model year, Ram is phasing out eTorque on the HEMI, and the non-eTorque HEMI has no automatic stop-start, so check the window sticker.

Ram 1500 warranty and safety

Coverage or ratingWhat to expect
2026 powertrain warranty10 years or 160,000 km for the original retail owner; not transferable except in Quebec, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan
2027 warranty3 years or 60,000 km basic; 5 years or 100,000 km powertrain
Rust-through5 years or 160,000 km
Roadside assistance24-hour roadside assistance for the term of the 5-year powertrain coverage
IIHS (2026 Crew Cab)Good in the small overlap and updated side tests; Poor in the updated moderate overlap test; no award
NHTSA5-star overall rating

The 2026 warranty is one of the longest powertrain warranties on any pickup, but it applies only to the original owner in most provinces, so it adds little to a used truck's value.

Buying a used Ram 1500 in Canada

Know the generations

The fourth-generation Ram (2009 to 2018) continued as the lower-priced Ram 1500 Classic through the 2024 model year. The current fifth generation arrived for 2019 with a lighter frame, eTorque mild-hybrid engines and a far more upscale cabin. The 3.0L EcoDiesel was offered on the fifth generation from 2020 to 2023, and the Hurricane inline-six replaced the HEMI in 2025 before the V8 returned for 2026.

Check the known issues

Ask a mechanic to check for lifter and camshaft wear and exhaust manifold bolt "tick" on 5.7L HEMI trucks, and for belt starter-generator or 48-volt battery faults on eTorque trucks. EcoDiesel trucks can suffer EGR cooler and fuel pump problems, and early Hurricane trucks received software updates.

Run the VIN for recalls

In July 2026, Ram recalled about 156,000 2019 to 2026 Ram 1500s in Canada for second-row seat belt anchors (Transport Canada 2026-371). A 2024 recall covered 130,722 trucks for stability control software, and a December 2025 recall covered 9,842 2025 and 2026 trucks whose 12-inch instrument cluster may not display. Check Transport Canada's recall database and confirm the work was done.

Confirm the warranty transfer

If a seller advertises the 10-year powertrain warranty, check whether it transfers in your province. In most provinces it ends when the original owner sells.

Is the HEMI V8 back in the Ram 1500?

Yes. Canadian orders for the 5.7L HEMI reopened on January 7, 2026, on Crew Cab trucks with the 5'7" box across nine trims, and Auto123 reported 2,500 Canadian reservations within 24 hours. The HEMI makes 395 hp and 410 lb-ft.

How much can a Ram 1500 tow?

Up to 11,530 lb (5,230 kg) with the 420 hp Hurricane SO inline-six, and up to 11,370 lb with the HEMI V8 with eTorque. The V6 tows up to 8,100 lb but offers the highest payload, 2,340 lb.

What is the Hurricane engine?

A 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six that replaced most V8s in the Ram 1500 in 2025. The Standard Output version makes 420 hp and 469 lb-ft, and the High Output version 540 hp and 521 lb-ft.

What is the Ram 1500's fuel consumption?

NRCan rates the 2026 four-wheel-drive Ram 1500 at 11.0 L/100 km combined with the V6, 11.7 with the Hurricane SO, 13.3 with the HEMI eTorque and 13.8 with the Hurricane HO.

What warranty does the Ram 1500 have in Canada?

2026 models carry a 10-year, 160,000 km powertrain warranty for the original retail owner. For 2027, coverage returns to 3 years or 60,000 km basic and 5 years or 100,000 km powertrain. Rust-through coverage is 5 years or 160,000 km.

Is there an electric Ram 1500?

Not yet. The fully electric Ram 1500 REV was cancelled in 2025. The range-extended 1500 REV, previously called the Ramcharger, uses a gas generator to charge a 92 kWh battery and has been delayed to about April 2027.

Where is the Ram 1500 built?

At Stellantis's Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan. Stellantis also builds the 1500 in Saltillo, Mexico, for the Mexican market. No Ram 1500 is built in Canada.

Does the Ram 1500 come with four-wheel drive?

Yes. Four-wheel drive is standard on every Ram 1500 sold in Canada.

How safe is the Ram 1500?

The 2026 Crew Cab earns a 5-star overall rating from NHTSA. IIHS rates it Good in the small overlap and updated side tests but Poor in the updated moderate overlap test, which checks rear-seat passenger protection, so it did not earn an award.

What's the difference between the Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic?

The Classic was the previous-generation truck sold alongside the new one at a lower price through the 2024 model year. It shares the coil-spring rear suspension but has an older cabin and fewer driver aids. Used Classics are cheaper but lack the current truck's technology.

How many Ram pickups are sold in Canada?

Ram sold 42,759 pickups, including heavy-duty models, in Canada in 2025, down 25% and sixth among all vehicles. Sales recovered in 2026, reaching 37,091 through September, up 14%.
