Description

The people have spoken, and for the 2026 model year, the Ram 1500 is once again available with the much-loved Hemi V8 engine. But, while full of character, is the Hemi really better suited for the Ram than the more powerful Hurricane inline-six? Edmunds’ Emme Hall puts the two head-to-head in this comparison test.

I'm 70 and worked at a gas station in high school. We young guys all thought inline sixes were dull, the V8s were the whole game. My dad was a mechanic and got a used 1963 Chevy step side pickup with a 283 and he told me he wished it had the inline six because it had more torque. I've since learned that inline sixes are one of the three most perfectly balance cylinder configurations, I love smooth engines now, inline sixes are cool. BMW had some great I6s.

The turbo is driven by the exhaust but it delivers fresh air to the engine. It does not push exhaust gas into the engine.

Do you agree with our sizing up of the Ram's Hemi vs. the inline-six in this comparison? Let us know in the comments.

I never see comments on the ability to work on your own vehicle after it's out of warranty. I keep my cars FOREVER... so, the ease of access etc for the 5.7 are a BIG plus for me.
