The upcoming 2026 RAM 2500 ‒with a price soon to be revealed‒ is a full-size truck, much like the RAM 1500, but even more powerful. This is especially true with its new generation turbo diesel HO Cummins engine.
The 2026 RAM 2500 is shaping up to be a full-size heavy-duty truck that is more robust than ever. Updated with several enhancements, it offers an impressive selection of trims, from the entry-level Tradesman trim to the luxurious Limited and Limited Longhorn trims. Boasting powerful powertrains ‒including a 6.4 L HEMI V8 gasoline engine and a 6.7 L turbo diesel Cummins High Output engine‒ it stands out both for its towing capabilities (up to 20,000 lb.) and for technological innovations such as a Uconnect 5 system with a 14.5-inch touch screen. In addition to a bold new exterior and interior design, the 2026 RAM 2500 introduces new finishes, broadening the available options for everyone from the hardworking professional to the luxury camper.

Refreshed last year, the 2026 RAM 2500 Heavy Duty (HD) has been updated aesthetically and now comes in two new trims ‒the Black Express and the Warlock‒ joining the entry-level lineup alongside the Tradesman trim.
The Black Express trim will be available with a crew cab, and you can choose between a short cargo bed (6.4 feet) or a long cargo bed (8 feet).
The Warlock trim is offered with a crew cab and a short cargo bed. It stands out with 33inch allterrain tires and Bilstein shocks tuned equally for onroad and offroad performance.
Furthermore, the 2026 Dodge RAM 2500—with its attractive starting price—will soon be available at Thibault Chrysler Amos in Abitibi, near Waswanipi, Nemaska, Chisasibi (Fort George) and Mistissini.
Below are the 2026 trims for the RAM HD along with the 2025 prices:
| Trims | 2026 RAM 2500 HD |
|---|---|
| Tradesman | $74,390 |
| Black Express | $78,395 |
| Warlock | $78,885 |
| Big Horn | $77,590 |
| Rebel | $91,490 |
| Laramie | $91,490 |
| Power Wagon | $94,985 |
| Limited | $100,190 |
| Limited Longhorn | $99,990 |
In short, there are numerous options and configurations to choose from for your next RAM 2500 HD.
Remember, there is something for everyone’s taste. The RAM 2500 is not just a work beast built for heavy-duty tasks, it can also surprise you in other ways.
For example, the Warlock (2026), Rebel, and Power Wagon trims can prove to be thoroughly enjoyable on less travelled trails, rugged terrains, and in the mud.
Conversely, the Limited and Limited Longhorn trims will be a hit on the campsite. Their refinement and the luxury of the cabin will certainly turn heads.
The 2026 RAM 2500, with two available engine options, meets all your needs. You have the choice between a gasoline engine and a diesel engine.
The HD 2500 gasoline model is powered by a 6.4L V8 HEMI producing 410 horsepower and 429 lb.ft of torque.
However, the Dodge RAM 2500 diesel HO, with a starting price of $74 390 (before applicable discounts), truly stands out. This 6.7 L 6cylinder turbo engine delivers 420 horsepower and 1,075 lb.ft of torque.
Here are the different available powertrains for the 2026 RAM 2500 HD:
| Engine | Power | Torque |
|---|---|---|
| 6.4 L V8 | 410 horsepower | 429 lb.ft |
| Diesel Cummins HO (6 cyl. 6.7L) | 420 horsepower | 1,075 lb.ft |
With the next-generation HO engine, you'll have extra power when it comes to towing heavy loads.
In addition, gear shifts are now smoother, offering much more decisive accelerations, especially following the introduction of the new 8speed ZF Powerline 8AP1075 transmission. This transmission also provides a more precise driving experience with adaptive driving assistance.
Towing capacities for the 2026 RAM 2500 HD are impressive. The table below illustrates these figures:
| Trim/Engine | Towing Capacity |
|---|---|
| 6.4 L V8 | 17,540 lb. |
| Power Wagon | 10,590 lb. |
| 6.7 L Cummins turbodiesel | 20,000 lb. |
In short, towing capacity ranges from 10,590 lb. to 20,000 lb. depending on the selected engine and cab configuration.
Maximum payload reaches 4,420 lb. with the 6.4 L V8 and 3,150 lb. with the diesel engine.
Among the on-board technologies, note the following:
Depending on the selected cab and bed, dimensions for the RAM 2500 will vary as follows:
| Wheelbase | Length | Width | Height | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Mega Cab (6’4'’) | 4,074 mm | 6,347 mm | 2,120 mm | 1,994 to 2,035 mm |
The 2026 RAM 2500 boasts a new design, which serves as a testament to its adventurous spirit and readiness to tackle heavy-duty work.
Featuring redesigned LED headlamps and fog lights, a prominent radiator grille and modernized shield, this HD truck displays a unique character and an imposing presence. Both muscular and bold, it features unique characteristics such as the practical RamBox cargo management system, telescopic rearview mirrors, side steps, and more.
Inside, you'll be impressed by the 14.5inch screen and the numerous functionalities offered by the latest Uconnect 5 system, which even allows you to pair two phones simultaneously.
The rugged yet refined cowboystyle leather seats in the Limited Longhorn trim provide comfortable seating with plenty of support.
