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

[oe542bob]

Prices have changed. About 3 weeks ago, soon after the configurator was up for the MY26, I built a Limited. Just did it again a couple of days ago and the same build has increased $500. I’m looking to order the Molten Red, just gotta wait. At least they MAY have some new colors for the higher dollar trucks eventually!
One major option when it comes to the engine is I’d would prefer the Hemi ( in my build specs ), but I still keep throwing it around on which engine. Have had Hemis and my current MY22 Longhorn has the Hemi eTorque. I’m an old dude where V8 is King. Nothing against the Hurricane 6 banger though it does take premium gas whereas I buy regular 87 for my Hemi. ( point for Hemi ) Hemi has eTorque, Hurricane doesn’t. ( Hurricane gets a point ) Hurricane has Turbos, Hemi doesn’t ( Hemi gets a point ) Power, well we know that answer, but really I’ve never thought the Hemi was inadequate. Sitting on the fence!!

I tried getting some local quotes to see if anyone could match Mark Dodge's quote - and not really is the answer. However, they all tell me a Limited can't be ordered in Delmonico Red. Ram's build it site still lets me select it though. Is this a temporary issue?

Agree about sitting on the fence. I like my hemi, but have not experienced etorque. I hear all the complaints about it, and frankly I can't see any real world benefits to the add-on. I don't tow and really don't care about the added HP the Hurricane has to offer. My main concern is the electrical platform in use from 2025 onward. So for the time being, I am watching and waiting to see what comes down the pike over the coming year. I have no urgency to buy at the moment.

Delmonico is closed out - it wasn't supposed to be on 2026s at all, I'm told, it was a holdover from last year and not planning on returning for the remainder of 2026 MY

Any word on the Ramcharger?

Any word on the Ramcharger?

You mean the truck that was originally supposed to be available back in 2024?

I was planning to buy one this year because we were told they would be available for 2025. A few months ago Ram announced they were pushing it out further so we went another direction for a comfortable commuter vehicle. I'm still interested in a Ramcharger if/when they actually do start producing them. But if you're waiting on one you're likely in for a long wait.
