5.7-Liter HEMI® V-8 with eTorque

• Horsepower: 395 hp

• Torque: 410 lb-ft

• Towing Capacity: Up to 11,320 lbs

• Payload Capacity: Up to 1,650 lbs (SAE J2807)

The HEMI® returns with eTorque hybrid technology that replaces the traditional alternator with a belt-driven motor generator. It adds up to 130 lb-ft of torque on throttle tip-in, improves responsiveness, and enables smooth start/stop operation.

Intelligent eTorque Integration

The eTorque system includes a 430-watt-hour lithium-ion battery housed behind the rear seat and cooled by dual fans for optimal performance.
Additional highlights include:

• 48-volt motor generator unit for torque assist and regeneration

• 3-kilowatt DC-to-DC converter to maintain 12-volt systems

• Fuel Saver Technology with cylinder deactivation

• Variable valve timing for power and efficiency

• 850-watt electric cooling fan for precise thermal control

The result is enhanced shifts, reduced vibration, and improved fuel efficiency-all while preserving the unmistakable sound and strength of a true V-8.

Symbol of Protest: A Badge That Says It All

Each 2026 Ram 1500 equipped with the 5.7-liter HEMI® receives a fender-mounted Symbol of Protest badge, a design that showcases the Ram's head charging forward from a V-8 engine block. It's a nod to the fans who demanded the HEMI®'s return-and to a brand unafraid to admit when it's time to bring back a legend.

Built to Handle Any Job

Every 2026 Ram 1500 with the HEMI® powertrain is engineered for balance-delivering raw performance and real-world utility. Whether towing, hauling, or daily driving, the eTorque system refines every movement, enhancing both efficiency and drivability.
