Posted at Thu, Apr 17, 2025 11:15 AM

Some exciting buzz is coming out of a recent dealer meeting, and while we can’t confirm every detail just yet, let’s just say V8 fans might have something big to look forward to. According to a leaked summary from the event, Ram is gearing up to reintroduce V8 options in the Ram 1500 lineup—including a beloved favorite and an even bigger engine that hasn’t been seen in this segment before here at Landmark Dodge of Morrow.

That’s right—there’s talk of both a returning 5.7-liter and a more powerful 6.4-liter V8 finding their way into Ram’s half-ton trucks. And if that’s not thrilling enough, a next-generation TRX is also said to be in the works—with even more muscle under the hood. It sounds like Ram is looking to raise the bar once again in the high-performance truck world.

But that’s not all. The word is that special trims like the Warlock and Night Edition are sticking around, and additional updates may include new HD models and even some diesel-powered options for the Power Wagon. Jeep and Dodge fans might be interested to know there are rumors of a final run for the iconic Wrangler 392 and some major changes ahead for the Durango.

While no official timeline has been confirmed, signs point to these updates rolling out as soon as the 2026 model year. That could mean they’re right around the corner—or we might be looking at something closer to next year. Either way, it’s clear that Ram hasn’t finished writing the V8 story just yet.

With the possible return of the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI and the introduction of a 6.4-liter V8 in a half-ton configuration, Ram is signaling that brute strength and performance are far from gone. These engines are known for delivering serious torque and unshakable dependability—perfect for hauling, towing, or just enjoying a commanding drive every time you hit the road. If these rumors hold true, Ram won’t just be bringing back fan favorites—it’ll be taking capability to the next level.

And then there’s the TRX. Already a beast in its own right, the next-generation version is rumored to push the boundaries even further. Expect more power, more attitude, and more off-road dominance. Built to leave ordinary trucks in the dust, the TRX could once again redefine what it means to drive a factory-built performance pickup.

Even beyond the engine bay, Ram appears to be doubling down on toughness and style. Special editions like the Warlock and Night Edition offer bold looks paired with serious hardware, while updates to the heavy-duty lineup promise even more capability and utility for the hard-working crowd. And with talk of a diesel-powered Power Wagon joining the mix, Ram fans could be in for one of the most versatile truck lineups we’ve ever seen.

Whether you’re conquering rugged terrain, towing with confidence, or just want a truck that turns heads at every stoplight, Ram looks poised to deliver. These upcoming models hint at a return to form—not just for Ram, but for anyone who loves their trucks built tough, loud, and ready for anything. Stay tuned, because the future of V8-powered muscle and off-road mastery may be just around the bend.

Ram isn’t just bringing the heat—they’re rewriting the rulebook. From old-school V8 thunder to cutting-edge plug-in performance, the next chapter is shaping up to be pure truck enthusiast gold. We’ll be watching the gauges and waiting for the green light. When these machines roll in, don’t blink—or someone else might beat you to the driver’s seat.
