Capability remains the headline. With the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 paired to a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2026 RAM 2500 supplies Best-in-Class available base diesel torque for commanding acceleration when merging, climbing grades, or pulling serious weight.

Trailer-focused engineering shows up everywhere — from a factory fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep option to available Trailer Reverse Steering Control that lets you guide your trailer with a dedicated knob while the system manages steering.

- Max gas payload: Up to 3,930 lbs on select configurations

Towing confidence goes beyond raw numbers. The available 360-degree Surround View Camera, 360-degree Trailer Surround View, and a Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration help you see around the truck and your trailer in tight spaces. Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring delivers live readings for multiple trailers right in the digital cluster. Add the available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for a more level stance under load and improved ride composure on the highway. Heavy-duty disc antilock brakes and an available smart exhaust brake help manage descents with finesse.
Inside, the 2026 RAM 2500 balances ruggedness with a tech-forward cabin. You can equip a Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen running Uconnect 5 NAV, plus an available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display for crisp, configurable vehicle data, trailer pages, and turn-by-turn guidance. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep cables out of sight, while available dual wireless charging pads with active cooling handle devices for both front passengers. Working after hours or off-grid is easier with available onboard power — choose a 400-watt inverter or step up to Best-in-Class Available Onboard Power for tools and gear. Exterior helpers like the available RamBox Cargo Management System, power running boards, bed step, and in-bed lighting help you load, secure, and access cargo efficiently.

Safety and driver assistance are robust, with over 100 standard and available features. Available Adaptive Cruise Control can work all the way down to a stop, even with a trailer attached.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I choose between the diesel and gas engines?
Pick the diesel if you prioritize maximum torque, frequent heavy towing, long-distance hauling, and controlled downhill braking with the available exhaust brake. Choose the gas V8 if you want strong payload, predictable power around town, and lower up-front complexity while still retaining confident towing capability.
What towing features help when backing a trailer?
Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you use a dedicated knob to direct the trailer while the system turns the steering wheel. Pair it with the available 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera and the Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration for clear visuals from multiple angles.
Which tech packages are most useful for work?
Look for Uconnect 5 NAV on the 14.5-inch touchscreen for tow-specific navigation, the available 12-inch Digital Cluster for Trailer Tow Pages, and onboard power for tools. Add the Tow Tech Package for trailer tire pressure monitoring and the fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep package if you plan to pull heavier equipment.
