Ram 1500 is where most Laredo shopping starts, and the 2026 truck gives you four honest ways to spec it. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque makes 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft and carries the highest payload in the lineup at 2,360 pounds. Step to the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six and you get 420 horsepower, 469 lb-ft and up to 11,610 pounds of towing, the strongest number in the range. The returning 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque splits the difference at 395 horsepower, 410 lb-ft and 11,320 pounds, and the High Output Hurricane tops the chart at 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft for buyers who want the fast one.

If you are pulling a gooseneck, a car hauler or a loaded equipment trailer down US-59 or Mines Road, the heavy duty trucks are the honest answer. The 2026 Ram 2500 runs a standard 6.4L HEMI V8 at 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft, or the High Output 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel at 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft, which is where the 20,000-pound tow rating and a 4,580-pound HEMI payload come from. Move up to the Ram 3500 and the same Cummins is rated to pull as much as 36,610 pounds with up to 7,590 pounds of payload on gas dually configurations. Businesses running loads through Port Laredo should also look at our commercial and work truck inventory, where Chassis Cab and ProMaster units are stocked and upfit-ready rather than special-ordered.
Dodge has narrowed to two nameplates for 2026, and both are worth a look. The Dodge Durango still seats up to seven and now offers the GT with either the 295-horsepower Pentastar V6 or a 360-horsepower 5.7L HEMI, an R/T that moves up to the 475-horsepower 392 HEMI, and the 710-horsepower SRT Hellcat. Towing runs 6,200 pounds on the V6 and 7,200 pounds on the GT HEMI, or 8,700 pounds with the Tow N Go package. The Charger returns as the SIXPACK in two-door and four-door bodies with standard all-wheel drive, using the 3.0L Hurricane at 420 horsepower on R/T and 550 horsepower on Scat Pack. One more reason to buy new in 2026: Ram now backs original owners of qualifying 1500, 2500, 3500, Chassis Cab and ProMaster models with a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, detailed on our guide to the 2026 Ram warranty.
