2026 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn: Methuen Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2026 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn

The 2026 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn starts at $77,200 MSRP before the $2,795 destination charge, which is $795 above the standard Limited. It is the western-theme luxury version of the same Crew Cab 4×4 platform, with saddle-style leather and wood accents inside, and the 5.7L HEMI V8 is available at no extra cost. Methuen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can put a Longhorn next to a Limited so you can compare the two cabins directly.

The same truck with a different story to tell

People sometimes ask whether the Longhorn is a mechanically different truck from the Limited. It is not. The two share the Crew Cab body, the standard four-wheel drive and the engine choices, and what separates them is design. Where the Limited feels modern and polished, the Longhorn leans into a Western identity, with saddle-style leather and warm wood accents in the cabin. If a western look appeals to you, the $795 premium is the cost of that character.

It is a theme you either love or you don’t, which is exactly why seeing one in person beats scrolling through photos. A truck in a Methuen showroom under real light tells you more than any configurator can.

Engines and what they mean for your driveway

As on the Limited, the 5.7L HEMI V8 comes at no extra charge on the Longhorn, with 395 hp and 410 lb-ft and a taste for midgrade fuel. The alternative is a High-Output Hurricane six with 540 hp and 521 lb-ft that wants premium. EPA ratings for four-wheel-drive HEMI trucks run about 16 city, 20 highway and 18 combined, while the High-Output Hurricane lands around 15, 21 and 17. Both pair with an 8-speed automatic. The Longhorn’s weight and four-wheel drive make it a comfortable towing platform, but Ram’s 11,610-lb headline belongs to specific configurations, so check the exact rating of the truck you want.

A luxury cabin in a New England winter

A leather cabin gets tested in cold weather, and a few features earn their keep between December and March in a truck like this. Heated and ventilated seating is worth asking about on any luxury Ram, along with a heated steering wheel and the power-opening tailgate for when your hands are full of snow gear. Ram’s Uconnect 5 system, with a large touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, handles navigation and phone duties, and the 1500 line offers a 14.5-inch screen, the largest available in its class by Ram’s description. Confirm which of these are on the specific truck, since packages vary.

Comparing the family

Start with the Limited guide if you want the theme-free version at $795 less. For something more extravagant, the Tungsten brings the High-Output engine as standard, and for something more affordable, the Laramie trims the luxury a notch.
