The 2026 Ram 2500 receives some noteworthy updates, highlighted by a revised powertrain lineup and two additional trims. The reworked high-output 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel now produces 1,075 lb.-ft. of torque and gets paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission, helping to boost the truck’s towing capability. Ram has also expanded the 2500’s lineup by adding the Black Express and Warlock trims, giving buyers more choices at the value and off-road ends of the spectrum.
Aimed at buyers who want more comfort and convenience without moving into premium pricing, this trim receives upgrades such as fabric upholstery, carpeted flooring, upgraded vinyl door trim with a map pocket, power windows, speed-sensitive power locks, and a rear window defroster. The Crew Cab version also gets a folding rear seat. An active noise-control system helps with reducing cabin noise, while heated power-adjustable side towing mirrors with supplemental lighting, bright front and rear bumpers, unique exterior accents, and 18-inch polished aluminum wheels give the truck a more polished appearance. ParkSense front- and rear-parking sensors and a six-speaker audio system further set the Big Horn apart from the more task-oriented Tradesman.
Positioned as a value-oriented appearance package, the Black Express builds on the Big Horn with a sport performance hood, painted front and rear bumpers, black tubular side steps by Mopar, automatic power-telescoping and power-folding mirrors, forward and reverse utility lights, and on/off-road tires with 20-inch black-painted aluminum wheels. A vinyl second-row bench with an underseat storage compartment and power front windows with one-touch up/down add convenience. Supplemental side-curtain front and rear air bags and a rear-seat reminder alert round out this trim’s roster.
Created for buyers seeking an affordable, off-road-focused Ram HD, the Warlock introduces an electric shift-on-the-fly transfer case, performance-tuned shock absorbers, hill descent control, a skid plate shield for the transfer case, and an anti-spin differential rear axle. Black front and rear bumpers, black wheel flares, exclusive decals and badges, front and rear rubber Mopar floor mats, and all-terrain tires on 20-inch black diamond-cut aluminum wheels reinforce its trail-ready character.
Serving as the entry point to the luxury end of the lineup, the Laramie is upgraded with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated eight-way power front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12-inch driver information display, power-adjustable pedals, dual glove boxes, enhanced cabin lighting, and an automatic-dimming rearview mirror. A 400-watt power inverter and a 115-volt AC outlet add functionality, while the Laramie’s appearance is enhanced by LED taillights, remote start, a chrome grille, painted front and rear bumpers, a dampened tailgate, rear wheelhouse liners, and additional trim-specific exterior styling. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are also standard.
Designed for buyers who want a heavy-duty truck that balances off-road capability with everyday comfort, the Rebel features a power front bench seat, power-adjustable pedals, second-row in-floor storage bins, exclusive interior accents, and fabric upholstery. An electric shift-on-the-fly transfer case, a custom-tuned suspension, performance-tuned shocks, hill descent control, and a limited-slip differential with electronic lock help improve traction on challenging terrain. Powder-coated front and rear bumpers, remote tailgate release, skid plate protection, clearance lamps, and unique exterior treatments provide additional distinctiveness.
Built as the most off-road-focused Ram 2500, the Power Wagon takes the Rebel’s trail-ready formula even further with a raised ride height, the Ram Articulink suspension, a 4.10 axle ratio, a front disconnecting stabilizer bar, and Tru-Lok front and rear axles. A set of 17-inch black-painted aluminum wheels and a unique instrument panel complete the package.
For buyers prioritizing luxury and technology, the Limited upgrades to premium leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, driver’s-side memory system, a wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, a premium floor console, luxury door-trim panels, dual wireless device charging pads, and power-adjustable pedals. Exclusive exterior treatments, body-color wheel flares, chrome wheel-to-wheel side steps, a deployable bed step, auto-dimming side mirrors with an adjust-in-reverse feature, and rain-sensitive windshield wipers add further refinement. This trim’s technology highlights include a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, a front passenger interactive display, and a Harman Kardon audio system with 17 speakers.
The Limited Longhorn stands apart as a western-inspired alternative to the Limited. Its most compelling feature is premium filigree leather upholstery, which gives the cabin a distinctive look and feel along with other special interior styling.
The 2026 Ram 2500 combines serious capability with a level of comfort and refinement that sets it apart in the heavy-duty truck segment. Its bold exterior styling, quiet cabin, and premium interior technology create an experience that is equally suited for demanding job sites and long highway drives. With available best-in-class diesel torque, a class-leading available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, and the confidence of America’s best full-size truck powertrain limited warranty, the Ram 2500 is engineered to work hard while keeping drivers connected and comfortable.
