The New 2026 Ram 2500

Ram continues to provide two proven powertrains designed to meet the needs of both commercial and recreational users. The standard 6.4-liter HEMI V8 delivers 405 horsepower and 429 lb ft of torque, giving the Ram 2500 strong acceleration and responsive handling even when the bed is fully loaded. The HEMI features variable cam timing and a durable deep skirt cast iron block for long lasting operation under heavy loads. For drivers needing maximum pulling performance, the available 6.7-liter Cummins High Output Turbo Diesel produces 430 horsepower and an impressive 1,075 lb ft of torque. The Cummins HO maintains Ram’s benchmark status for torque leadership in the heavy duty class.

Both engines pair with a TorqueFlite heavy duty eight speed automatic transmission engineered for smooth shifts and thermal durability. Ram also offers multiple axle ratios, including 3.42 on diesel models and 3.73 or 4.10 on HEMI configurations, allowing drivers to tailor performance for towing or payload requirements. Rear wheel drive and four wheel drive layouts are available across the lineup, while Power Wagon and Rebel models incorporate additional off road mechanical upgrades.

Fuel tank sizes range from 31 to 32 gallons on most configurations, with a 50 gallon option available on select models for extended driving range.

The Ram 2500 continues to deliver exceptional control through its five link rear suspension, which helps maintain stability over uneven surfaces.

With capability at the heart of every Ram truck, the 2026 Ram 2500 offers substantial towing and payload power. Properly equipped models can tow up to 20,000 pounds when configured with the Cummins High Output engine and eight speed transmission.

Payload ratings vary by configuration, with HEMI powered models offering competitive hauling strength for tools, equipment, and commercial upfits.

Ram’s signature link coil rear suspension provides one of the smoothest rides in the class and improves stability when towing. Available rear air suspension enhances level control and confidence while carrying heavy loads. Power Wagon and Rebel models incorporate off road tuned components including locking differentials, a disconnecting sway bar, Bilstein shocks, skid plates, and hill descent control. These features allow the Ram 2500 to venture deeper into backcountry terrain without sacrificing the reliability expected of a heavy duty work partner.

Multiple drive modes and part time transfer cases help drivers maintain stability in snow, mud, gravel, and steep grades. Trailer Tow Technology Groups add features such as 360 degree cameras, trailer brake controllers, auxiliary camera support, trailer tire pressure monitoring, and a digital rearview mirror with tow mode.

Whether pulling a camper across state lines or hauling equipment from job to job, the Ram 2500 gives drivers the confidence to handle demanding work.

Inside, the 2026 Ram 2500 blends practicality with available luxury touches depending on trim level. Tradesman and Black Express configurations offer durable cloth seating, clear controls, and smart storage solutions suited for job site environments. As drivers move into Big Horn, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited models, the cabin transforms with premium details that elevate comfort on long drives.

Crew Cab and Mega Cab models offer generous passenger space, with available single pane sunroofs that brighten the interior.

Available seating materials vary by trim, ranging from cloth to high grade leather in Limited Longhorn and Limited models.

USB ports, wireless charging options, and available premium audio systems create a comfortable driving environment that supports productivity and relaxation.

The 2026 Ram 2500 displays a commanding stance with wide shoulders, bold grille designs, and a variety of appearance packages that allow each trim to stand apart. The new Black Express and Warlock models add sport oriented personality with darkened styling and off road inspired cues. Many trims offer short and long bed lengths, and all benefit from Ram’s sturdy ladder frame construction.

Available wheel options range from 17 inch to 20 inch designs depending on trim, with blacked out, polished, and diamond cut finishes. LED lighting improves visibility on the road and around work sites while body color or chrome bumpers allow customers to customize the truck’s look. Black Express features a sport performance hood, body color elements, and 20 inch black wheels, while Warlock incorporates a distinctive bedside decal, black wheel flares, 20 inch diamond cut wheels, and 34 inch Goodyear Duratrac tires for an off road ready stance.

Ram offers multiple exterior colors including Bright White, Diamond Black, Granite Crystal, Silver Zynith, Flame Red, Forged Blue, Ceramic Grey, and Molten Red. Each model continues to display a purposeful design built around durability and visual strength.

Ram equips the 2026 Ram 2500 with advanced connectivity and safety features to support both work and daily driving. Standard and available Uconnect systems range from an 8.4 inch multimedia display to a 12 inch unit and up to a 14.5 inch screen on upper trims such as Rebel, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited. These display options provide access to navigation, smartphone integration, Bluetooth connectivity, and SiriusXM.

Premium audio systems include available nine speaker and Harman Kardon 17 speaker setups on select trims. A digital rearview mirror with tow mode offers improved visibility around trailers, while the surround view camera system provides multiple angles for parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.

Safety technology continues to emphasize awareness and control. Available features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring with trailer coverage, Forward Collision Mitigation, Active Lane Management, and ParkSense front and rear park assist. These systems help reduce driver fatigue and increase peace of mind while navigating highways, job sites, and city streets. Tow specific camera aids, trailer tire pressure monitoring, and the integrated trailer brake controller further enhance safety when hauling.

The Tradesman trim provides the essential foundation for work focused capability. It includes durable cloth seating, practical storage, the Uconnect 8.4 inch system, and the standard 6.4 liter HEMI V8. The Tradesman offers excellent value for drivers who prioritize strength, utility, and straightforward functionality.

Inside, it includes cloth bench seating with carpeted flooring and mats. This trim is ideal for drivers who want an affordable customized look straight from the factory.

Warlock delivers a rugged off road themed appearance with black grille elements, wheel flares, 20 inch diamond cut wheels, 34 inch Duratrac tires, Bilstein shocks, hill descent control, and a transfer case skid plate. This is the first Warlock offered in the HD lineup and honors the original 1970s model with a modern capability twist.
