2026 Ram 1500 – Trim Comparison & Features Breakdown
Find Out What Sets Each 2026 Ram 1500 Trim Apart!
The 2026 Ram 1500 is built to handle real Canadian work and play. From daily commutes in Scarborough to weekend hauls across Ontario, it delivers strength, comfort, and technology in every trim. Let’s go through the three main trims — Tradesman, Express, and Big Horn — to help you pick the one that fits your lifestyle best.
Tradesman – Built for Everyday Toughness
The Tradesman is where the 2026 Ram 1500 starts, but it’s far from basic. It’s powered by a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. You get strong acceleration with a fuel economy of around 12.1L/100 km in the city and 9.7L/100 km on the highway. It can tow up to 2,935 kg and still offers a smooth, quiet drive. The interior comes with vinyl seats that are easy to clean, power windows, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 for wireless smartphone connection. Blind-spot monitoring, LED headlights, and ParkSense sensors make daily driving safer and easier. This trim is perfect for those who want reliability and performance without paying extra for luxury touches. It’s simple, durable, and made for hard-working drivers across Ontario.
Express – Everyday Comfort with Style
The Express trim steps things up a little. It keeps the same strong V6 engine and towing ability, but it looks more refined. It adds body-colour bumpers, a bright grille, and 20-inch polished wheels that really stand out on city roads. Chrome side steps make getting in easier, and a rear power sliding window adds more airflow on warm days. The interior feels more welcoming with carpeted floors and small upgrades that make daily use comfortable. It’s still practical, but with a touch of polish. For anyone in Scarborough who wants a work truck that also looks good in the driveway, the Express is the sweet spot. It combines toughness with a little more personality.
Big Horn – Power Meets Premium Feel
If you want your truck to feel a little more advanced, the Big Horn is worth the step up. It shares the same 3.6-litre V6 with 305 horsepower but brings more convenience and control. You’ll find an electronic shift-on-demand transfer case, chrome bumpers, and extra tech like adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go. The cabin adds a floor console, upgraded cloth seats, and more digital features for comfort. The 8-speed automatic transmission feels smooth, and towing climbs slightly higher to 2,966 kg. The Big Horn is for drivers who want more sophistication in their pickup — ideal for longer trips or anyone who enjoys extra tech without going all the way to the luxury trims.
