A report out of the United States is adamant the V8 Hemi is making a comeback to Ram pick-ups after it was dropped in 2024. The Ram 1500 TRX is due to return with V8 power as soon as next year, according to an enthusiast site based in North America.

Good news for all the HEMI diehards out there! The Ram 1500 TRX might back a comeback for 2026 and have the almighty engine under the hood

Replacing the HEMI V8 engines with a new twin-turbo six-cylinder in the Ram 1500 has been a controversial move to say the least, but according to the latest rumours, it might be only temporary. Sportsnaut has shared an email from a Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram dealer employee in the U.

There are persistent reports the Ram 1500 TRX is on the way back in 2026, and it could return with an even more powerful V8 engine.

Sources say a refreshed version of the Ram TRX performance off-road pickup packing a supercharged Hemi V8 with 700+ horsepower is coming as soon as next year.

If there’s one thing on which dealers can be counted, it’s for having more leaks than a screen door on a submarine. This time, it appears a screenshot from an internal email was shared, one which alleges numerous future plans for the Ram brand – including a return of the V8 engine to its half-ton pickups.

The TRX nameplate could reappear next year as a new V-8-powered performance truck, with output possibly rising above 702 hp.

New alleged details emerge about the return of the Hemi to the regular Ram 1500 series of trucks. The iconic Hemi V-8 engine was controversially dropped from the Dodge and Ram lineups for the 2025 model year,
