Ram Trucks

The 2026 Ram 1500 brings back the 395-horsepower 5.7L HEMI V8 alongside the 305-horsepower V6 and the Hurricane inline-six in 420 and 540 horsepower versions. The 420-horsepower Hurricane tows the most, up to 11,610 pounds. The Ram 2500 and 3500 add a 405-horsepower 6.4L HEMI V8 or the High Output Cummins diesel, with 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque. Choosing a size? Our Ram 1500 vs. 2500 vs. 3500 towing and payload guide lays out the differences.

Jeep SUVs and Pickups

The Wrangler has standard 4WD and up to 72.4 cubic feet of cargo space in four-door form, and the Gladiator puts that trail focus in a pickup. The Grand Cherokee seats five with 37.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats. The Compass is the compact pick, with EPA ratings of 23 mpg city and 31 highway. At the top, the Grand Wagoneer seats up to eight.

Dodge and Chrysler

The 2026 Charger uses a twin-turbo 3.0L inline-six that makes 420 horsepower in the R/T and 550 in the Scat Pack. Dodge fans can also see how our PowerBroker program works. The Pacifica is the family hauler, with Stow ‘n Go seats that fold into the floor and up to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space.

FAQs

Which Ram truck is right for me?

The Ram 1500 covers everyday driving and light towing, and the 2500 and 3500 are built for heavy trailers and big payloads. Tell us what you tow and we will match the truck. Businesses can also look at our Ram Chassis Cab trucks.

Which Jeep has the most room?

The Grand Wagoneer, which seats up to eight. Among the smaller choices, a four-door Wrangler offers up to 72.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Compare them all in our Jeep inventory.

Does the Dodge Charger come with all-wheel drive?

Yes. Every 2026 Charger SIXPACK has standard all-wheel drive, a good match for snowy Columbiana County mornings. See our Dodge inventory for what is on the lot.

What is the difference between AWD and 4x4?

All-wheel drive works automatically and suits everyday driving in rain and snow. A 4x4 system is built for deeper snow, mud and trails. Our Jeep 4x4 systems guide explains how each one works.

Should I buy new or used?

Both can be a good fit, depending on your budget and how long you keep a vehicle. Our used Wrangler vs. used Grand Cherokee comparison and our new vs. used Pacifica guide walk through the trade-offs.

How are the four brands different?

Ram builds trucks, Jeep builds SUVs and pickups, Dodge builds performance cars, and Chrysler builds the Pacifica minivan. Our brand comparison for Northeast Ohio drivers goes deeper.
