2026 Ram 1500 Warlock Returns with Lower Price, More Options

The 2026 Ram 1500 Warlock is back and better than ever, and I still stand by what I’ve said before—it’s the best-value off-road truck in the Ram lineup. For folks who want Rebel-level capability without the bells, whistles, and steep price tag, the Warlock is a no-nonsense rig that delivers where it counts.

Let’s talk power. For 2026, Ram made the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with the eTorque mild-hybrid system the standard engine, bringing the starting MSRP down to just $46,875 (before the $2,095 destination charge). This engine still produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque, which is plenty to get you through trails and traffic.

If you want more grunt, you can still opt for the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter HURRICANE I6 standard-output (S/O) engine for only $1,695, which is $1,000 cheaper than it was in 2025. That engine delivers 420 horsepower and 469 lb.-ft. of torque.

And yes, the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with eTorque mild-hybrid system is back, now available for $2,895 more than the Pentastar V6. That is cheaper than the $3,045 price the HEMI had in 2024. The HEMI returns with 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque. But that’s not all; every 2026 HEMI-powered Warlock comes standard with a performance sport exhaust, giving the HEMI an even deeper growl.

Just like before, the Warlock comes with all the mechanical goodies you’d find on a Rebel—Bilstein™ shocks, skid plates, tow hooks, a 1-inch lift, and an electronic transfer case—but without all the extras that push the price higher. It’s built only as a Crew Cab with a  5-foot, 7-inch box in 4×4 configuration, and comes standard with a front bench seat, allowing you to haul 6 people. The fold-down center console still gives you cupholders and some hidden storage.

On the outside, it’s got that aggressive off-road look: Black grille with bold R-A-M badging, 18-inch Black-painted aluminum wheels, LED headlights, Black badging, dual exhaust with black tips, and optional Warlock decals for the hood and bedsides.

Inside, it comes well-equipped with an 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, a 7-inch driver display, Black cloth seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. You also get adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane keep assist (LKA), blind-spot monitoring (BSM), Selec-Speed™ Control, and remote start—plus, Ram’s signature in-floor rear storage in the second row.

Want extras? You can add heated seats, side steps, spray-in bedliner, and even a trailer tow package. Check out the full 2026 Warlock U.S. pricing chart below:
