The 2026 RAM 2500: A Rugged Pickup Truck with Incredible Power

If you need a truck that can carry more than your weekend bags, there's no better choice than the 2026 RAM 2500. This highly capable model builds upon the standard RAM 1500 with a larger bed, a more powerful engine, and enhanced towing prowess. The team at Lester Glenn Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM covers its performance and tech highlights.

Power and Performance

No matter where your next job takes you, the 2026 RAM 2500 is your ideal heavy-duty companion. Those who stick with the entry-level powertrain will receive a 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 engine that produces an impressive 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. You can also opt for a 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo-diesel engine, which makes 430 horsepower and a best-in-class 1,075 lb-ft of torque.

Both engines for this new RAM vehicle come paired with a TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission. When equipped with the diesel engine and properly equipped, you can expect a maximum towing capacity of up to 20,000 lbs. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but those who plan on frequent off-roading also have the option of an all-wheel drive system.

Technology Features

Inside the 2026 RAM 2500, you'll have the support of a wide range of sophisticated amenities. There are several screens to pick from, including a massive 14.5-inch center display with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. You can also add a front passenger display that gives your co-pilot control over various vehicle functions and media playback. There are several add-ons available for the digital instrument cluster, including trailer tow pages and off-road pages, which displays info on your vehicle's pitch, roll, and more.

Safety Features

The 2026 RAM 2500 comes equipped with a multitude of advanced driver assistance features. You'll benefit from over 100 standard and available features, including an LED trailer hitch light, rear seat reminder alert, forward collision warning with active braking, and adaptive cruise control.
