Key Features of the 2026 RAM 2500
High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6
At the heart of the lineup is the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6, engineered to deliver Best-in-Class available base diesel torque at 1,075 lb-ft and up to 430 horsepower. This powerplant is paired to the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, tuned for enhanced durability and smooth, intuitive shifting even under heavy load. It’s the combination you want for confident acceleration with a full trailer, consistent grade-climbing performance, and composed downhills with the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake helping to manage speed. Diesel drivers also benefit from robust cooling strategies and software calibration optimized for low vibration and noise control, enhancing long-haul comfort and confidence when towing at the 2500’s maximum available diesel capacity of 20,000 pounds.
TorqueFlite® HD Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission
Matched to both the available High-Output diesel and the 6.4L HEMI® V8, the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission is built to handle the demands of heavy-duty work while delivering refinement in daily driving. Its smart shift mapping and robust internals support precise power delivery across inclines, tight jobsite maneuvers, and highway passing. When paired with trailering tech such as Trailer Tow Pages in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display and available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, the transmission’s responsiveness helps you place power exactly where you need it—whether you’re threading a fifth-wheel into a tight campsite or backing a utility trailer down a narrow driveway.
Largest-in-Class 14.5-Inch Touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV
The available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen—Largest-in-Class—anchors a high-visibility, high-usability cabin. With available Uconnect® 5 NAV, you can create up to five driver profiles, access tow-specific navigation, and tap into available Ram Connect Services for safety, security, and convenience features. Wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility keep your favorite apps, calls, podcasts, and playlists seamlessly integrated. Complementary tech includes the available class-exclusive 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display and class-exclusive Dual Wireless Charging Pads with ventilation to help keep devices cool. Together, this suite turns the 2026 RAM Heavy Duty into a mobile command center that can adapt to multiple drivers and missions.
Class-Exclusive Available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension
Trailering confidence gets a major boost with the class-exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension. Designed to help maintain a level ride height under varying loads, this system can enhance stability, braking feel, and headlight aim while improving overall comfort. For drivers who frequently hook up to different trailer types or weights, auto-leveling reduces the guesswork and can help expedite setup time. Paired with the available 50-gallon Largest-in-Class fuel tank capacity on Crew Cab models with the 8-foot bed, you’ll be set up for fewer stops and more stable miles—ideal for long hauls near Loudoun County, VA and beyond.
360° Trailer Surround View Camera and Digital Rearview Mirror
Visibility is everything when you’re towing large loads, and the 2026 RAM 2500 brings a comprehensive camera strategy. The available 360° Surround View Camera delivers a bird’s-eye view around the truck, while the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera extends that awareness around your trailer. Add the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration and the available wired Tow Mode Camera, and you can monitor behind the truck, along the trailer’s flanks, and directly behind the trailer in real time. Supplement with available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring and Trailer Tow Pages in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display, and you get a complete picture that can reduce stress and help you maneuver with precision in tight spaces.
