The Legend Returns: Ram Listened to You
You spoke, and Ram listened. At CDJR of Walla Walla, we are thrilled to announce that the 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 is officially returning for the 2026 Ram 1500. While the industry is moving toward smaller engines, Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis made it clear that customer demand in places like the Walla Walla Valley drives their decisions: "Data be damned - we raise our flag and let the HEMI ring free again!"
The "Symbol of Protest" Badge
Every 2026 HEMI-powered Ram 1500 comes with a unique mark of distinction. To celebrate the engine's return, Ram created a new fender-mounted Symbol of Protest badge. It features the iconic Ram's head pushing forward, powered by a HEMI V-8 block-a literal badge of honor for those who refuse to compromise on V-8 power.
Proven Performance & eTorque Technology
The 2026 HEMI V-8 delivers the smooth, broad power band you know and love, producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque. It is enhanced by class-exclusive eTorque hybrid technology, which replaces a traditional alternator with a motor generator. This provides an extra 130 lb.-ft. of launch torque, making your starts smoother and more responsive when pulling a trailer through the Blue Mountains.
Value-Packed for the Long Haul
Ram is making the return of the legend even sweeter by including several performance upgrades as par
