Key Features of the 2026 RAM 2500
High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6
Serious towing requires confident torque and dependable durability. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 in the 2026 Ram Heavy Duty delivers Best-in-Class available base diesel torque—1,075 lb-ft—alongside a robust 430 horsepower rating. This powerplant is engineered for tough duty cycles with low vibration characteristics and minimal noise, letting you work in comfort even under heavy load. Pair it with an available factory Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, and you can leverage robust structural mounting points for serious trailering. Heavy-duty braking components are standard across the lineup, and the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake helps modulate downhill speed with precision when hauling in the mountains or while descending long grades. For winter readiness, the standard Snow Plow Prep Package includes a 220-amp alternator and plow prep wiring, and 4x4 models can be further protected with an available Transfer Case Skid Plate. It is a torque-rich foundation that turns big jobs into routine tasks.
TorqueFlite® HD Eight-Speed Automatic
Putting power to the ground seamlessly matters just as much as the engine that produces it. The TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission is tuned for heavy-duty workloads with intuitive software control that anticipates load and terrain to keep you in the optimal gear. You will feel the benefit when rolling out from a stop with a trailer, merging onto the highway, or holding gears on steep climbs. The transmission’s wide ratio spread helps strike a balance between torque multiplication for launch and efficient cruising at speed. Underway, you get smooth, decisive shifts that inspire confidence, whether you are towing, hauling, or running unladen on rural roads. It pairs exceptionally well with both the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and the 6.4L HEMI® V8, giving you flexibility to choose the powertrain that fits your routine while maintaining the transmission performance that has helped define Ram Heavy Duty drivability.
Largest-in-Class 14.5-Inch Touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV
The cabin is a command center, and the 2026 Ram Heavy Duty leads with a Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen. Running Uconnect® 5 NAV, this interface supports up to five driver profiles, tow-specific navigation, and Ram Connect services for safety, security, and comfort controls. The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display complements the main screen with crisp, full-color 3D graphics and customizable views for Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, gauge summaries, and vehicle dynamics. Available Off-Road Pages bring pitch, roll, and traction details into focus when you leave the pavement. Connectivity is seamless thanks to available Wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility, while Class-Exclusive Dual Wireless Charging Pads help keep devices powered with ventilated pads designed to help manage temperatures. Add the available Class-Exclusive 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display to put co-pilots in charge of navigation and entertainment without distracting the driver.
360° Trailer Surround View Camera and Digital Rearview Mirror
Towing confidence grows out of clear, real-time awareness. The available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera helps provide a bird’s-eye perspective around the truck and your trailer, aiding lane changes, tight turns, and reversing into narrow spots. Paired with the available 360° Surround View Camera, you can quickly toggle between views to validate clearance before committing to a maneuver. The available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration adds an LCD-based live feed from a rear-facing camera; when outfitted with available exterior mirror cameras and the wired Tow Mode Camera, you can monitor views to the left and right of your trailer and behind it. Further assistance comes from available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, which allows you to guide the trailer via a dedicated knob while the system handles truck steering. For ongoing awareness on the move, the available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring system can display readings for up to four trailers in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display.
RamBox® Cargo Management and Best-in-Class Available Onboard Power
Building a truck around your workflow means providing power and organization exactly where you need it. The Class-Exclusive available RamBox® Cargo Management System features two lockable, drainable storage bins with LED lighting and a front driver-side 115-volt outlet, plus remote access with the key fob. It is a practical place to store straps, tools, and gear you do not want sliding around the bed. When you need electricity at the jobsite or campsite, the 2026 Ram Heavy Duty makes your truck a mobile generator with an available 400-watt inverter or Best-in-Class available Onboard Power via a 2.4-kilowatt inverter. Pair that with available LED bed lighting and accessible exterior elements like available power side running boards, a Mopar® bed step, and a dampened tailgate with available power release, and you have a truck that saves steps and minutes every day. An available 50-gallon fuel tank on Crew Cab 8-foot bed models reduces fuel stops so you can stay focused on the job.
