A year after discontinuing the HEMI engine in its pickup trucks, Ram announced it will be returning the engine to certain models.

Ram is putting the Hemi V8 engine back in its light-duty pickup trucks, part of a blitz of changes from brand head Tim Kuniskis to claw back lost share in the hyper-competitive US truck market.

Stellantis is resurrecting its popular V-8 Hemi engine for its Ram 1500 full-size pickup trucks beginning this summer.
