2026 Ram 1500 Warlock Brings Back Pentastar V6 And HEMI V8​

More Choices Return To Ram’s Off-Road Bargain Truck​

Ram fans, take note—there’s good news coming out of Auburn Hills. After a brief stint offering just the HURRICANE inline-six, the 2026 Ram 1500 Warlock is officially getting two more engine options for the new model year: the trusty Pentastar V6 and the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8.

We were recently invited to the Chrysler Technical Center (CTC), where Ram confirmed the expansion of the Warlock’s powertrain lineup. For anyone keeping track, this is a bit of a comeback story. Ram dropped both the Pentastar and HEMI from the Warlock trim back in 2024. That left 2025 buyers with only one engine: the twin-turbo 3.0-liter HURRICANE Standard-Output (S/O) inline-six.

But that changes for 2026.

I need a replacement for one of our trucks next year, and the Warlock with a Hemi would be perfect, if it wasn't for the fact the seat is not height-adjustable. Dealbreaker for me at 6'4". Limited has spoiled me.

Don't understand why US manufacturers don't give their cheap seats a height adjustment. Their european models all seem to have it, even the cheapest trims.
