2026 RAM 2500

The 2026 Ram 2500 continues to redefine the heavy-duty truck segment by successfully blending immense work capability with a truly premium, comfortable, and technologically advanced interior. It maintains its exclusive use of a Class-Exclusive standard rear coil-link suspension, which provides a noticeably smoother and more composed ride than its leaf-sprung competitors, making it an excellent choice for long hauls and daily driving.

Heavy-Duty Performance and Torque
The Ram 2500 is built for serious work, offering two powerhouse engine options:

• Standard 6.4L HEMI V-8: This gas engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, producing 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, it allows for a maximum gas towing capacity of up to 17,750 pounds and a maximum gas payload of up to 3,930 pounds.

• Available 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6: The torque champion, the high-output diesel engine, is expected to produce 430 horsepower and a Best-in-Class available 1,075 lb-ft of torque. This engine pushes the Ram 2500’s maximum conventional towing capacity over 20,000 pounds, delivering unmatched pulling power and efficiency for large fifth-wheel trailers and heavy equipment.

Interior Luxury and Technology
Ram continues to set the standard for truck interiors. The 2026 model boasts a highly advanced cabin experience, particularly on higher trims like the Laramie and Limited. The centerpiece is the available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by the fast and capable Uconnect 5 system, which includes tow-specific navigation and wireless smartphone integration.

For the driver, an available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display provides customizable vehicle and towing information. The commitment to luxury extends to premium available features like a 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display, real leather seating, and advanced sound-deadening for a quiet ride. The optional RamBox Cargo Management System (lockable, drainable storage compartments integrated into the bed rails) and the available rear air suspension enhance utility and convenience.

Towing and Safety Confidence
Towing is made significantly easier with a suite of advanced features, including the 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera system, a Digital Rearview Mirror that uses a camera feed to see around a trailer, and Trailer Reverse Steering Control, which simplifies the often-difficult task of backing up a trailer. Standard safety features include Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking (even with a trailer attached) and Adaptive Cruise Control.

The 2026 Ram 2500 is the ideal heavy-duty truck for buyers who need segment-leading power and towing capability but refuse to sacrifice the comfort, technology, and refined ride of a luxury SUV.
