The 2026 Ram 2500 backs its bold stance with numbers that matter in South Texas—where long distances, heavy trailers, and varied terrain aren’t just marketing scenarios. With the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 paired to a TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, you get Best-in-Class available base diesel torque for stout low-end pull and steady confidence at speed. Need gas power? The 6.4L HEMI® V8 brings a robust balance of towing and payload capability. Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, and Trailer Tow Pages work together so lining up a gooseneck, navigating a tight storage yard, or backing a boat is more predictable.

Inside the 2026 Ram 2500, work-ready functionality meets road-trip comfort.

Uconnect® 5 NAV adds driver profiles, Ram Connect features like Send & Go, Vehicle Finder, and Remote Vehicle Start, plus wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. For long days, the available 900-watt Harman Kardon® audio with Interior Active Noise Cancellation takes the edge off highway drone. And whether you choose a Crew Cab or Mega Cab®, thoughtful touches—like in-floor Ram Bins, an available fold-flat load floor, rear cubby bin, and the Class-Exclusive available RamBox® system—keep gear secure, dry, and easy to access. Add the available 2.4-kilowatt onboard power to run tools at a jobsite or power a campsite without hunting for an outlet.
Confidence comes standard across the 2026 Ram 2500 lineup, with over 100 standard and available safety and security features. Class-Exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control works down to a stop, even with a trailer attached, to help ease I-10 traffic near the Medical Center. Available Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking adds an extra layer of reassurance when the unexpected happens. Camera tech is equally robust: with the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, you can monitor left, right, and directly behind your trailer as you change lanes or back into a tight yard. Add Trailer Reverse Steering Control for intuitive backing using a trailer knob while the truck manages steering. It’s a safety and awareness suite that turns a big job into a manageable task.
