Ram Trucks Australia has filed government approval documents for a new Hemi V8-powered version of the Ram 2500 dual-cab pickup, in what would be the brand’s first new V8-powered model here since 2024. While the Ram 2500 has always been offered by Ram Trucks Australia with the Cummins diesel six, the Ram 1500 was offered with 5.7-litre and supercharged 6.2-litre Hemi V8s until 2025, when the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre 'Hurricane' inline six-cylinder engine was introduced. Ram Trucks Australia general manager Jeff Barber has also told CarExpert the company is evaluating the SRT TRX for Australia, which uses the same supercharged V8 with identical outputs.
