*HEMI UPDATE* 2026 Ram 1500 Factory Orders @ MARK DODGE

[ramhouston]

Longhorn with the Night Edition package.

never existed in the first place

Is the 2026 build and price tool wrong allowing a bench on a Big Horn with the Sport Appearance Package or did Stellantis finally allow us to build trucks the way we want?

I never said it did, but I appreciate your pointing that out. I was answering his question about differences between Limited and Longhorn. And that's just one of them.

But not with a bench.

The 2026 Build Site is up but I see no options to add the 5.7 to ANY of the 4x4 6"4" bed trucks, that's a deal killer for me as I haul offshore fishing gear to the coast and back...wanted to buy a Molten Red Limited but it's "late availability" anyway so we will see.

I saw the same. No 6’4” box with Hemi in any model as far as I can tell. Hopefully it’s wrong. After having two 6’4” boxes and now my current 5”7” I’m in no hurry to get another short box Hemi or not.

I'm in the same boat. No Hemi. No Order. This 2019 is a lemon to the extreme but I will keep it if I can't get another crew cab 6'4" bed Hemi.

Sounds like you might want to step up to a 2500 if that's the case. 6.4 Hemi with no etorque is sounding pretty good to me. My biggest issue with that is they don't offer the MFT for HD's.

Yea, I’m a fan of the MFT too. Plus here in my state, yearly 2500 registration is double of the 1/2 ton PU.

Not in the market for a few years yet but that’s the direction I’m leaning. No eTorque is a very big plus for me.

I went to the dealer and they don’t make the 5.7 in a 6’4 only comes in 5’7”

Did they say why? Wondering what the reasoning is behind this?

@AnthonyRI could you kindly shed some light on our concern?

Good luck getting any answers on that.

Not currently available to order longbed w Hemi.
But I might remind you, that longbed itself only opened a week ago.
I wouldn't panic.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Same interior, essentially. Still get 4-corner coil springs. But that sweet 6.4L Hemi is there without eSuck added to it, and it actually has a usable payload rating.

Sticking with my assumption that it’s the exhaust supply. They will use GT exhaust on all Hemis but since Hemi now is not expected to be volume engine they aren’t going to run multiple iterations thereof, and the GT exhaust only ever came on the crew cab short/ 5’7” bed.

They’re angling Hemi as the “fun” option, not the working or practical truck engine per se.

I am in the market for a Hemi-powered truck within a year, but I think I'll let others be the guinea pigs for a while (Hemi-electronic interface) . Not worried about E-Torque, have 186000 miles on mine and no probs. Bigger tank would be nice. Tired of local dealer BS, so will definitely consider Mark Dodge. BTW, not having a non-Rambox bed on Limited is a mistake IMO: I'll be downgrading to lower trim so my accessories will still fit. Counterproductive for Ram revenue?

i feel like once you go above a Laramie it's more luxury vehicle than a truck so rambox only kinda makes sense
