Key Features of the 2026 RAM 2500
High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 Engine
The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine is one of the defining reasons shoppers choose this Ram Heavy Duty pickup. Paired with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, it delivers up to 430 maximum horsepower and up to 1,075 pound-feet of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque. That torque figure is especially important for heavy hauling and confident launches with a trailer attached. Ram also emphasizes enhanced durability, minimal noise, low vibration and intuitive software control for seamless shifting. For drivers who need diesel dependability for livestock trailers, equipment, RVs or heavy materials, this powertrain gives the truck a composed, capable feel. Gas shoppers are also well served by the 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine, which supports up to 17,750 pounds of maximum gas towing capacity and up to 3,930 pounds of maximum gas payload when properly equipped.
Trailer Reverse Steering Control
Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control is a valuable system for drivers who regularly back a trailer into tight spots, jobsite spaces, storage areas or ranch entrances. Instead of relying only on traditional steering inputs, this system allows the driver to use a trailer steering knob to control the trailer’s direction while the truck manages the steering wheel. It can make reversing feel more intuitive, especially when precision matters. Ram also offers available Trailer Tow Pages with helpful tools such as Trailer Light Check and Trailer Brake Status, visible through the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring can provide live tire pressure readings for up to four trailers, and the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package includes a factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember with integrated mounting hardware that can be paired with a hitch for quick towing setup.
Uconnect® 5 NAV
The available Uconnect® 5 NAV system helps make the cabin feel modern, organized and easy to personalize. With the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, drivers can view navigation, entertainment, apps and vehicle information on a wide, clear interface. Uconnect® 5 NAV allows up to five driver profiles, which is useful when multiple people share the truck for business or family use. It also offers tow-specific navigation and access to available Ram Connect Services for safety, security and comfort control features. Wireless Apple CarPlay® Support for your iPhone® and Wireless Android Auto™ Compatibility help keep familiar apps within reach. Available Send & Go can send destinations to the navigation system, while Vehicle Finder can help locate the truck by remotely sounding the horn and flashing the headlamps. It is technology built around real truck owners, not just screen size.
Digital Rearview Mirror
The available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration is a major advantage for towing visibility. When activated, its LCD monitor can provide a real-time video stream from a rear-facing camera, helping drivers see behind the truck even when cargo or passengers block the conventional mirror view. When paired with available exterior mirror cameras, it can also show views to the left and right of a trailer. Activate the available wired Tow Mode Camera, and drivers can gain a helpful view behind the trailer itself. Available 360° Surround View Camera technology can show the area around the truck, while the available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera provides a bird’s-eye view around the trailer. Together, these systems can make lane changes, hitching, backing and low-speed maneuvering feel more controlled.
RAMBOX® Cargo Management System
The Class-Exclusive available RAMBOX® Cargo Management System adds everyday practicality to the bed without taking away the truck’s serious utility. It features two lockable, drainable storage bins with LED lighting, making it easier to organize tools, tie-downs, gloves, recovery gear or smaller equipment. The system also includes a front driver-side 115-volt power outlet and remote access via the key fob. Ram further supports work-focused needs with available onboard power. A 400-watt inverter can help turn the truck into a convenient power source, while the available 2.4-kilowatt inverter delivers Best-in-Class available onboard power. Available LED bed lighting, an available Mopar® bed step, available power side running boards and a dampened tailgate with available power release all contribute to a truck that is easier to load, access and use.
