Ram Launches Build & Price Tool for 2026 Ram 1500

Build Your HEMI®, Express, or Warlock Exactly How You Want

The wait is over—Ram has officially opened up the Build & Price configurator on RamTrucks.com for the 2026 Ram 1500, and it’s packed with updates fans have been asking for. Whether you’re chasing the return of the legendary 5.7-liter (345 cubic-inch) HEMI® V8 or want to spec out a new Warlock or Express trim, it’s all online now and ready for you to play with.

For a lot of us Ram fans, this is more than just pricing options—it’s a chance to finally see what’s new for 2026 and figure out exactly how we’d build our own ideal half-ton pickup.

Here are three exciting builds we put together using the new configurator:
