Tungsten, RHO & The New Lineup

If you are shopping for a 2026 Ram 1500 at Sidney CDJR, you’ll notice the lineup looks a little different this year. Ram has not only updated the engines; they have reshuffled the trims to offer more luxury and more off-road capability than ever before.

Gone is the TRX (for now), but in its place comes the agile RHO. And sitting at the very top of the food chain is the all-new Tungsten, a truck designed to compete with high-end luxury SUVs.

Here is your guide to the 2026 Ram 1500 trim levels.
