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.
