The HEMI® V8 Is Back: Meet the New RAM 2500 Warlock in Australia
It’s official — the HEMI® V8 is back Down Under.
RAM Trucks Australia has announced the arrival of the new RAM 2500 Warlock HEMI® V8, bringing legendary V8 power back to Australian roads in a Heavy Duty truck built for serious work, towing and adventure. RAM’s official Australian range now lists the 2500 Warlock with its 6.4-litre HEMI V8.
For RAM enthusiasts across Sydney, the Sutherland Shire, Wollongong and the Illawarra, this is one arrival worth getting excited about.
At Tynan Motors, we're taking a closer look at RAM Trucks Australia's latest announcement and what the new RAM 2500 Warlock brings to Australian buyers.
RAM Brings the HEMI V8 Back to Australia
For many RAM owners, the unmistakable sound and character of a HEMI V8 is a major part of the RAM experience.
Now, it's back.
According to RAM Trucks Australia, the new RAM 2500 Warlock is powered by the legendary 6.4-litre HEMI® V8, producing 306kW of power and 582Nm of torque.
It's a combination designed to deliver the sound, response and driving character V8 enthusiasts love, while sitting within a genuine RAM 2500 Heavy Duty platform.
RAM Trucks Australia describes the new Warlock as a truck designed for drivers who have outgrown a 1500 and need to step up to something bigger, tougher and more capable.
For Australians towing large caravans, horse floats, boats or commercial equipment trailers, that Heavy Duty capability is at the heart of the new model.

What Is the New RAM 2500 Warlock?
The RAM 2500 Warlock brings the Warlock name to RAM's Heavy Duty range, combining bold styling and HEMI V8 power with the capability of a genuine 2500 chassis.
This isn't simply about creating a truck that looks tough.
The RAM 2500 platform has been engineered for customers who need greater carrying and towing capability from their vehicle — whether that's for work during the week, towing on the weekend or embarking on a long-distance Australian road trip.
RAM says the Warlock is designed to deliver the strength and stability required for serious towing demands while providing a simplified ownership proposition for buyers wanting HEMI V8 performance in the Heavy Duty class.
6.4-Litre HEMI V8 Power
At the heart of the new RAM 2500 Warlock is its 6.4-litre HEMI V8.
Producing 306kW and 582Nm, the petrol V8 gives Australian RAM customers another option within the 2500 range alongside RAM's Heavy Duty diesel offerings.
But the appeal isn't simply what's written on the specification sheet.
For many drivers, a naturally aspirated V8 offers a distinctive driving experience — from its power delivery to the unmistakable V8 soundtrack.
That's why the return of HEMI power to a RAM Heavy Duty truck is such significant news for Australian RAM enthusiasts.
Built for Bigger Jobs
The RAM 2500 Warlock is built on a genuine 2500 Heavy Duty chassis.
That makes it an option for customers whose towing, payload or lifestyle requirements have moved beyond what they need from a conventional ute or smaller pickup.
Think large caravans for touring Australia, boats for weekends on the coast, horse floats or trailers carrying commercial equipment.
It's this combination of Heavy Duty capability and V8 character that makes the new Warlock particularly interesting.
RAM Trucks Australia has established itself as the authorised importer and distributor of RAM Trucks in Australia and New Zealand, and is the only RAM-authorised full-volume manufacturer of right-hand-drive RAM Trucks globally. Australian vehicles are remanufactured from left-hand drive to right-hand drive at RAM Trucks Australia’s purpose-built Melbourne production facility and comply with Australian Design Rules.
Why the Return of the HEMI V8 Matters
The Australian market has developed a strong appetite for American full-size pickups over the past decade.
RAM has played a significant role in building that segment locally. In July 2025, the company celebrated reaching 30,000 Australian sales, with RAM Australia saying its 1500 had achieved more than twice the sales of any competing US pickup in Australia since official records began.
For V8 enthusiasts, however, engines like the HEMI have always been about more than numbers.
There's a character to a large-capacity V8 that has helped define American trucks for generations.
The new 2500 Warlock brings that experience back together with the scale and capability of RAM's Heavy Duty platform.
