2026 RAM 1500 Review
The 2026 Ram 1500 is made for drivers who need a truck that can do more than one job. It can be used for work during the week and family trips on the weekend. At Galt Chrysler in Cambridge, ON, we know that local drivers often need a pickup that can handle city roads, highway trips and changing Ontario weather. With several engine choices, strong towing capability, useful storage and a comfortable cabin, the Ram 1500 has been designed to fit into many different lifestyles.
Power That Fits the Way You Drive
The 2026 Ram 1500 is offered with four engine choices. The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 makes 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. The available 5.7-litre HEMI V8 produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. For even more power, the 3.0-litre Standard Output Hurricane makes 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. The High Output Hurricane reaches 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy varies by engine, with ratings ranging from 9.7 L/100 km on the highway to 15.7 L/100 km in the city. When properly equipped, towing capacity reaches up to 11,570 lb. Payload can reach up to 1,840 lb, depending on configuration.
A Truck Bed Ready for Real Life
Cargo space is a big part of what makes a pickup useful. The Ram 1500 is offered with different box lengths, including 5 foot 7 inch and 6 foot 4 inch options. The truck bed provides plenty of room for tools, building supplies, sports gear and weekend equipment. Available RamBox storage adds enclosed storage areas along the sides of the bed, with LED lighting and a 115 volt electrical outlet available. Inside the cabin, a Crew Cab can also provide generous rear passenger room, with up to 44.8 inches of rear legroom. The exact cargo volume in litres is not provided on the Ram Canada page, so it should not be stated as a fixed litre figure.
Technology That Makes Every Drive Easier
The cabin has been designed to feel comfortable while still working like a truck cabin should. Depending on the trim, the Ram 1500 can be equipped with a large 14.5 inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen. A standard Uconnect 5 system with an 8.4 inch touchscreen is also available on the lineup. Higher trims can offer a 23 speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system. Available features include heated and ventilated seats, heated massage seats and premium leather seating. Class exclusive in floor storage is also available. These features make the Ram 1500 feel just as comfortable on a trip around Cambridge as it does on a longer Ontario drive.
Added Confidence From Driveway to Jobsite
The 2026 Ram 1500 offers more than 100 standard and available safety and security features. Available systems include Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection and trailer detection. Towing technology can also include Trailer Surround View, Trailer Reverse Steering Control and Trailer Sway Control. Available 4x4 systems can provide added traction when snow and ice affect Ontario roads. These features can be useful when the truck is being used for daily driving, work or towing.
