This truck has some unbelievable features…as well as a jaw-dropping price tag.
We’ve reviewed plenty of Ram 1500 trucks in the past little while, running the gamut of trims and engine options for the 2026 model year. You can once again get the Hemi V8 or stick with the Hurricane inline-six, but there’s another new option with Ram’s latest half-ton lineup: Tungsten. Sitting above the Limited and Limited Longhorn (which are pretty nice trims in their own right), this new luxury truck pushes the envelope with a laundry list of standard features and swanky styling. In this video, Andre covers just how expensive this truck is, and what all you can expect for that massive amount of money.
Finished here in Molten Red, this high-end half-ton comes with a chrome grille, chrome surrounds on the lower fascia and 22-inch wheels. And those are just the aesthetic bits to draw you in. Once you get inside, you’ll find a 14.4-inch Uconnect 5 display, a 10.25-inch passenger screen, 24-way-adjustable leather seats that are heated and ventilated up front, a suede headliner, dual-panel panoramic sunroof and a 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system.
As standard equipment, the 2026 Ram 1500 Tungsten comes with the high-output 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six, putting out 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive with an automatic setting and low-range transfer case are also fitted to the Tungsten by default, though you cannot spec it with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 (that option stops at the Limited Longhorn).
With the turbocharged six-cylinder, fuel economy comes in at an EPA-rated 15 City / 21 Highway / 17 Combined mpg.
And how much do you have to pay for the turbo-luxe Tungsten?
Pricing starts at $91,395 including Ram’s equally eye-watering $2,695 destination fee. Despite this being the top-end trim, however, you can still increase that price even higher with option packages. The $545 Bed Utility Group adding in adjustable tie-down hooks, an exterior 115-volt outlet and a deployable bed step, for example, still doesn’t come standard on Tungsten.
Nor does the $1,045 Towing Technology Group (with Trailer Reverse Guidance and Trailer Hitch Line-Up Assist and a digital rearview mirror). That package requires another $595 Trailer-Tow Group option, adding in Trailer Reverse Steering Control. The $1,345 Off-Road Group, adding in an electronic locking rear axle, a fuel tank skid plate, a one-inch raised ride height, heavy-duty rear shock absorbers and down-sized 20-inch wheels with beefier all-terrain tires, is another added-cost extra, if you want it.
Factor in all those packages plus, say, a $1,095 multi-function tailgate, and your ballingest 2026 Ram 1500 Tungsten will set you back $97,110 before available price incentives. As equipped, the truck Andre’s testing comes in at around $94,520.
