RAM 1500 Big Horn Night V6 Pentastar Crew 5pi 7po *ARRIVAGE AOUT*2026 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 Night Edition - The Versatile Truck That Works Hard, Looks Sharp and Lasts Longer
The 2026 RAM 1500 Big Horn delivers what many drivers across the Beauce region are really after: a true full-size truck that is capable and comfortable, without the fuel bill of a big V8. This Crew Cab 4x4 with the 5-foot-7-inch box pairs the Pentastar V6 engine and eTorque technology with the bold, blacked-out look of the Night Edition. And like every 2026 RAM, it comes with the best powertrain warranty in the industry in Canada: 10 years or 160,000 kilometres. It is built to work through the week, tow on the weekend, and tackle winter with confidence.
Performance and Driving
Under the hood is the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 paired with the eTorque system. It produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, with up to an extra 90 lb-ft of launch torque supplied by the 48-volt electric motor-generator.
eTorque is not a plug-in hybrid powertrain; it is a mild-hybrid system that replaces the traditional alternator with a belt-driven motor-generator fed by a small 48-volt battery. In practice, that means crisper launches at intersections, nearly seamless start-stop restarts, and a smoother feel day to day. For the owner, it is also a way to trim fuel costs without giving up the character of a real truck.
The TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission handles everything smoothly, keeping the engine in the right rev range whether you are in town or on the highway. The four-wheel-drive system, combined with the 3.55 rear axle ratio, strikes a solid balance between traction, work capability and reasonable highway fuel use.
Towing and Hauling Capability
When properly equipped, this RAM 1500 Big Horn can tow up to roughly 7,340 lb, close to 3,330 kg, and carry a payload of up to roughly 1,790 lb, close to 810 kg. That is enough to pull a boat, a utility trailer or a light travel trailer, and to haul jobsite materials, firewood or ATVs without straining.
This unit includes the integrated trailer brake control, a real asset for anyone who tows regularly: trailer braking is smoother and more predictable, especially on the hills and wet roads of the region.
The bed utility group turns the box into a genuine mobile workstation. It includes:
- A tough MOPAR spray-in bedliner for long-term durability
- Four adjustable cargo tie-down hooks to secure your load
- A deployable bed step for easier access to the box
- Pickup box lighting for loading and unloading after dark
- An exterior 120-volt power outlet to run tools and equipment straight from the truck
Every model comes with a standard Class IV hitch and trailer sway control, which helps keep the truck-and-trailer combination stable even in strong crosswinds.
Night Edition Exterior Style
The Night Edition gives this Big Horn a confident, distinctly modern presence. Instead of traditional chrome, the truck leans into blacked-out accents from bumper to tailgate.
You get the black RAM grille badge, black exterior badging, a black mesh grille with matching surround, black headlamp and tail lamp bezels, and black-painted mirror caps. Twenty-inch painted aluminum wheels, wrapped in 275/55R20 all-season tires, round out the stance. Body-colour front and rear bumpers, with integrated rear step pads, and a dual exhaust with black tips add the finishing touches. The Diamond Black Crystal Pearl paint suits the dark theme perfectly.
Comfort and Interior
The Big Horn cabin has long been one of the most welcoming in the segment, and the Level 1 Equipment Group adds several conveniences that pay off in our climate.
It brings heated front cloth bucket seats, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals, power-folding heated exterior mirrors with courtesy lamps, an auto-dimming interior mirror, a power-sliding rear window, plus a 115-volt outlet and a 400-watt inverter to power your devices. Black interior accents carry the Night Edition theme right into the cabin.
The Crew Cab configuration offers generous room for five adults, with a comfortable rear bench and plenty of storage, making it as well suited to the family as it is to the work crew.
Technology and Connectivity
The 2026 RAM 1500 Big Horn runs the Uconnect 5 system, known for being quick and easy to use. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can keep your phone in your pocket while still reaching navigation, music and calls.
Steering-wheel audio controls, SiriusXM radio with an included trial, and multiple charging ports make every trip more practical, whether it is a quick run to the jobsite or a long highway drive with the family.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The safety of a full-size truck starts with its robust structure and its reassuring 4x4 capability. This Big Horn includes a standard rearview camera, electronic stability control, trailer sway control and hill start assist, along with a full suite of airbags.
The limited-slip rear differential included with the Night Edition improves traction on snow, mud or gravel by better distributing torque between the rear wheels. A range of advanced driver-assistance systems is also available on the RAM 1500 for buyers who want to take the equipment further.
Winter Driving in Quebec
Winter is often when a truck like this proves its worth. The 4x4 system, the limited-slip differential and the well-balanced weight of a full-size pickup deliver solid traction in snow and on ice.
The heated steering wheel and heated seats make cold mornings far more bearable, while the heated mirrors help maintain clear visibility. The eTorque system also provides smooth, fast restarts, a real advantage in freezing weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which engine powers this RAM 1500 Big Horn, and what does eTorque actually do?
This truck is powered by the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 with eTorque, producing 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. eTorque is a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that adds up to 90 lb-ft of launch torque. It does not need to be plugged in; instead, it improves smoothness, off-the-line response and efficiency, while making start-stop operation nearly imperceptible.
How much can this RAM 1500 tow and haul?
When properly equipped, it can tow up to roughly 7,340 lb (3,330 kg) and offer a payload of up to roughly 1,790 lb (810 kg). Keep in mind that towing capacity and payload do not add together; they are two separate limits to respect based on what you are pulling and carrying. Our team can help you work out what fits your project.
Is the 4x4 system up to Quebec winters?
Yes. The four-wheel-drive system, combined with the limited-slip rear differential, delivers excellent traction in snow, slush and on ice. The weight of a full-size truck also helps with stability, and driver aids such as stability control work in the background to keep you on course.
What exactly does the Night Edition add?
The Night Edition swaps chrome for blacked-out accents: black RAM badge and exterior badging, black mesh grille, black headlamp and tail lamp bezels, black mirror caps, 20-inch wheels and a dual exhaust with black tips. The bumpers are body-colour and the cabin gets black interior accents for a more modern atmosphere.
What comfort features are included inside?
Thanks to the Level 1 Equipment Group, this Big Horn has heated front bucket seats, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals, power-folding heated mirrors, a power-sliding rear window, and a 115-volt outlet with a 400-watt inverter. The Uconnect 5 system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto rounds out the experience.
Is this truck a good choice for work and chores?
Absolutely. The 5-foot-7-inch box, spray-in bedliner, deployable bed step, tie-down hooks and the 120-volt outlet in the bed make it a versatile work tool. The eTorque V6 is especially well suited to workers who want full-size capability while keeping fuel use reasonable.
What does the 10-year or 160,000-kilometre warranty cover?
Every 2026 RAM sold in Canada carries the best powertrain warranty in the industry: 10 years or 160,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. It covers the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials and axles. It applies to retail buyers and lessees, both individuals and businesses, and offers peace of mind that extends well beyond a typical financing term.
