2026 Dodge Demon Pickup Truck isn’t just roaring back—it’s trading its sleek coupe body for a rugged pickup bed. Yeah, you read that right: a Demon that’s as ready for the drag strip as it is for hauling your weekend toys. Dodge is blending old-school American muscle with truck toughness, and early buzz says this thing could shake up the full-size pickup game. Let’s break it down, no fluff—just the good stuff.
A Design That Screams “Demon in Disguise”
Picture this: the Demon’s iconic wide-body stance, but stretched into a beefy crew cab with a 6.5-foot bed. Dodge keeps the aggressive lines—think that massive hood scoop sucking in air like a black hole, flared fenders hiding 20-inch blacked-out wheels, and LED headlights that glow like devil eyes at night. The front grille? It’s got that snarling crosshair look, now oversized for truck cred. Out back, taillights stretch across the tailgate, and you’ll spot Demon badges that glow under UV light for those late-night meets. It’s not subtle; this truck yells “trouble” from a mile away. Built on a reinforced Ram 1500 frame, it’s tough enough for off-road romps but sleeker than your average hauler. Dodge says it’s lighter than the old Challenger Demon thanks to aluminum panels—about 5,500 pounds curb weight. Simple tweak: black accents everywhere, or go Jailbreak for custom stripes. It’s muscle car soul in pickup skin.
Under the Hood: Torque for Days and Diesel Dreams
Forget the supercharged gas guzzlers of yore—this Demon swaps for brains and brawn with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8 straight out of Ram’s playbook, but tuned to demonic levels. We’re talking 420 horses and a gut-punching 950 lb-ft of torque. That’s low-end pull that catapults you from 0-60 in under five seconds—faster than most sports cars, and it’ll smoke a Ford Raptor in a straight line. Paired with an eight-speed TorqueFlite auto, it shifts like lightning. Towing? Up to 16,870 pounds, perfect for trailers or boats. And for the eco-curious, cylinder deactivation chills half the cylinders on highways, sipping fuel smarter than the old HEMI beasts. Run it on biodiesel for a green nod. It’s not about going hybrid yet—Dodge saves that for Ram’s future plays—but this diesel means longevity, with engines lasting 300,000 miles easy. Pure American engineering: raw, reliable, and ready to rumble.
High-Tech Goodies and Smart Tech
Dodge isn’t leaving the Demon in the Stone Age. Inside, it’s a cockpit of screens: a 12-inch touchscreen Uconnect system runs the show, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so your phone’s your co-pilot. Voice commands? “Hey Dodge, find the nearest BBQ joint” works like a charm. Safety tech shines with adaptive cruise that reads traffic like a pro, blind-spot cams for trailer mode, and 360-degree views for tight spots. The beds got power outlets and air suspension that levels loads on the fly. Want smart? Over-the-air updates tweak performance, and a Demon-specific app tracks your truck’s vitals from your phone. It’s not overwhelming—just intuitive buttons and dials where you need ’em. Leather seats hug you on corners, and the Harman Kardon audio thumps harder than a subwoofer at a tailgate.
Showroom Sticker Shock
Here’s the kicker: Dodge aims to keep it accessible, pricing the base Demon Pickup around $65,000. Load up with options like the performance pack or leather upgrades, and you’re at $75K tops—way friendlier than the $100K-plus original Demon cars. Early deals could dip lower with financing perks. As for mileage? Expect 18 mpg city and 25 highway on diesel—solid for a torque monster. That’s better than gas rivals, saving you bucks at the pump over time. Resale? These badges hold value like gold; think 70% after three years.
