Hear ye hear ye! 2026 model year ordering has begun and we're ready to rock at MARK DODGE. Factory Orders are a core part of our business an we look forward to showing you how purchasing a vehicle SHOULD be! We have developed a very streamlined process where you do the entire interaction remotely and efficiently.


OUR PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS
- We can coordinate shipping for you anywhere in the US
- Complimentary driven delivery or customer pickup within 250 miles of the dealership (70607)
- Tax, Title, License, Reg we can execute in all 50 states
- No mandatory locking lugnuts, magic battery potions, wizardry or other strings attached
- Our doc fee is $425, temp tags (60-day) are $4, that's it!
- Your order is price protected against any INCREASES - once your order is in, neither dealership nor RAM can increase your price
- Your price can DECREASE if & when more rebates or incentives become available at time of delivery compared to time of order

DEALER DISCOUNT
Bighorn, Rebel & Tradesman -11.5% off MSRP
Laramie, Longhorn, Limited -12.5% off MSRP
Tungsten -12% off MSRP
RHO - $9K, $10K, or $11K off depending on your MSRP

**This is all just dealer discount, before any rebates or incentives from RAM are brought in to make it sweeter**
**Affiliate discount, where applicable, will get another 1% off our sale price**
**EP or CDI codes are priced case by case but will absolutely be better than face value**

2026 MODEL YEAR CONTENT
6/5 EDIT - FINALLY we can say the HEMI is coming back! As of today, we're told it will be available on all Ram 1500s aside from the RHO and Tungsten (rebel delayed)
The hurricane and pentastar will remain available as applicable - with the HEMI as an available upgrade for $1200. We should be able to order next week, with production hopefully in August. Will continue to share updates on availability, pricing, and timing as things roll out.


The full code guides are here for your perusal if you're into that sort of nerdy thing!
https://sharesync.serverdata.net/us4/s/oVJfzIqYKQVC3Jfg4t04el003f24cd

The entire paint-program throughout the RAM line up is going through some changes, so it's a moving target of what is available and what WILL be available.
I'll post up some grids and photos below to help clarify some of that.


TIMING

TBD on start-date of 2026 MY production; though we were told in that their plan was to complete 2025 production in the month of June.

Sometimes the next model year begins immediately , other times there can be a few week gap while they do any re-tooling or maintenance, etc. Even though the RHO may not look like much changing, it can be effected by other trims release/change.

HOW TO GET YOUR QUOTE

Since the content is so similar so far, you can use the ramtrucks.com build & price tool to spec out just what you’d like. Once complete, you’ll see a little letter I next to your price, click on that lil guy and it’ll open a summary.
Hit the expand-down arrow next to “added options” to show the goods. Screenshot the summary, and send it on over to [email protected]

HOW WE ORDER


We’ll gather some basic info from you (secure upload) like your license, contact info, etc
Your order specialist will walk you through line by line and order the vehicle with you on the phone
Electronic documents to sign arrive momentarily after, including the POC, buyers order, and incentives config when available
$1,000 non-refundable deposit due within 3 business days of placing order

Upon delivery, we’ll provide as many pictures/video as necessary to showcase the vehicle condition
PDI process is executed by our team in their dedicated PDI building on site
Total finance process is executed remotely with zoom/e-signatures
We can coordinate delivery to your home (you pay carrier), or we can drive to meet you or pick you up within 250 miles of the dealership as well!

QUESTIONS?!
Please email us with questions to [email protected], while I’ll try to monitor this thread, sometimes multiple blinky red lights confuse me.
You can also check out our site for some more general info on our process here: Benefits of Factory Ordering | Mark Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram

COLORS
LOTS of moving parts here - the code guide lists some new colors that will be available such as the MOLTEN RED, SERRANO GREEN, and CANYON LAKE. They are also swapping, in phases, from billet silver to silver zenyth.
We will NEVER know the date that the new colors open, until they're open!

Here's what we can currently order, and some pictures of the newer colors below:

Also in the news: Stellantis is going to build a 388 million dollar warehouse in Metro Detroit Megahub to house all kinds of parts. It will be an automated facility for storage and retrieval.

It's being called AutoStore...planned opening in 2027. Hopefully this will fix that parts shortage many have been experiencing....altho you have to wait until 2027. LOL

See below for powertrain availability - a checkmark means it is a standard feature, O means optional, and minus means not available:

WebP files will open with most Chrome browsers and several JPG or photo viewers, but the links to the WebP files posted by @AnthonyRI above are faulty.

I use Vivaldi, a Chrome browser and have no problems opening Webp files from other sites.

Try the Webp files from this site below to test your preferred browser.
It will be necessary to download the file first from some sites, but the site below should open immediately.

Let me know when they drop the etorque....ugh.
I'd still rather have the Hemi with etorque than the SO Hurricane engine though. More choices is always better IMHO.

It's interesting to me that the Hemi costs almost $500 less than the SO Hurricane. And I'm sure the HO Hurricane is more expensive than the SO. The HO Hurricane comes standard on the Limited/Longhorn models. But you get no money off if you select the Hemi instead of the HO on either of those models.

So, the Hemi eTorque has the same specs as the one without, it just helps with the start/stop and supports the engine while in 4cyl mode?
Is that really a win?

Will be interesting when Ram opens up the build process on their site so we can play around with configurations. An unfolding story to be sure.

There's lots of information about the etorque out there. Search the web if you're interested. It includes start/stop but is not limited to that. It also helps smooth out shift points. And it supposedly adds torque to the first half tire rotation from a stop, but adds no HP or torque to the Hemi numbers. And there are ways to disable start/stop if you don't want that.

The one thing it does not do is support 4 cylinder mode (MDS). Etorque and MDS are totally separate systems. All 5th gens with a Hemi have MDS regardless of whether they have etorque or not.

Thanks for the clarification, Anthony. The chart you posted was a little confusing, at least for me.

Thanks for the clarification Anthony as it verifies what my impressions were of the pricing structure. One question for you - do you have any idea when the Build & Price feature on the Ram site might be updated to include the 2026 model year?

I don't want to answer for Anthony but my guess would be around the end of the year. Ram is pretty slow at updating that. They had 2024 models on the build site until just a couple months ago (still have them for HD's), even though ordering for 2024's ended in the middle of last year.

Always a few weeks (sometimes months) behind but really all you need to know is the engine choices above, and the ever-changing color availability.
Otherwise, all packages are same set up, as is MSRP.
