Just ran across a few window stickers that were published in the past couple of days (Aug 28 and 29). Trucks with the Hemi are being released now!

HEMI® Power Is Back Where It Belongs​

Ram Team Talks About the Return of the 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 in the Ram 1500​

There are few names in the truck world that carry as much weight as HEMI®. For the past two decades, it’s been the badge of honor under the hood of Dodge and Ram vehicles, the soundtrack of muscle and muscle trucks alike. After being discontinued in 2024, fans weren’t sure if they’d ever hear that unmistakable rumble in a half-ton Ram again. But this week at Chelsea Proving Grounds in Michigan, I had the chance to see firsthand what it took to bring the 5.7-liter (345 cubic-inch) HEMI V8 back to the 2026 Ram 1500 lineup.

 
the first batch of 2026 hemi's shipped out a few days ago. ya got to give tim credit for getting them back in production and out the door this fast
 

HEMI®-Powered 2026 Ram 1500 Hits Dealer Lots​

The HEMI®-powered 2026 Ram 1500 has officially arrived at dealerships. Just a week after we reported that trucks were leaving the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (SHAP), these V8-powered pickups are now parked on dealer lots and ready for customers to take home.

 
I've been watching the reviews on youtube. Sounds like they've improved the exhaust sound of the hemi when you punch it, without compromising the quiet ride when cruising. I also like the new 10yr/100,000mi powertrain warranty! If I don't trade my 2019 Limited in on a 2026, I might at least look into acquiring the new exhaust. I am still loving my 2019 Ram limited!

Unless they've done anything significant it's most likely the change they made in 21 or 22 when they removed the cat from the straight pipe before the muffler. It's a direct fit for us earlier years. I have one on my truck. It does make a difference on start up and acceleration, but nothing in the cab while driving.
 
I was told the 2026's with Hemi's have the GT exhaust standard
