Southfork Ram - What to Know About the 2026 RAM 2500
The 2026 Ram 2500 brings heavy-duty capability into a refined, technology-forward package that is just as comfortable crossing a jobsite as it is towing across the state. From its available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine to a deep bench of trailering tools and in-cabin tech, this truck is purpose-built to help you work smarter and travel with confidence. If you are considering a truck that can balance serious towing with everyday comfort, the latest Ram 2500 belongs on your short list.
Powertrain choices ensure you can tailor performance to your priorities. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 pairs with a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission engineered for durability and smooth, intuitive shifts. Prefer gas power and a broad torque curve for versatile use? The available 6.4L HEMI V8 is a proven workhorse. With the diesel configuration delivering Best-in-Class available base diesel torque, the 2026 Ram 2500 backs up its bold design with serious muscle you can feel when merging, climbing grades, or pulling heavy loads.
The towing and hauling story is just as compelling. Trailer Reverse Steering Control helps simplify backing—use the trailer steering knob to command trailer direction while the system manages the truck’s steering. Add the Tow Tech Package for Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring that displays pressures for up to four trailers on the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. An available fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep package integrates factory mounting hardware for quick hitch installation. Available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps level loads for poise on uneven surfaces, while the available 50-gallon fuel tank on select configurations helps stretch road trips between fuel stops.
Technology elevates confidence behind the wheel. The Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen with Uconnect 5 NAV brings fast processing, tow-specific navigation, and seamless smartphone integration. The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display keeps key data within your sightline, from turn-by-turn directions to detailed Trailer Tow Pages. Camera tech is equally robust: an available 360 Surround View Camera and 360 Trailer Surround View Camera provide a bird’s-eye perspective, and the available Digital Rearview Mirror can stream real-time video from a rear-facing camera with optional exterior mirror camera views—especially useful when towing wide loads.
Inside, the 2026 Ram 2500 is impressively quiet and thoughtfully organized. Choose from seat configurations that maximize passenger space or cargo flexibility, including available bucket seats up front and multiple 60/40 split-folding options in the rear. Mega Cab models offer Class-Exclusive reclining rear seats and forward fold-flat rear seats for load versatility. Storage and power solutions abound, including in-floor Ram Bins, a fold-flat load floor, available dual wireless charging pads, and Best-in-Class available onboard power with an available 2.4-kilowatt inverter—plus an available 400-watt bed outlet to run tools or tailgate essentials.
Utility-focused exterior features show the truck’s practical side. The available Class-Exclusive RamBox Cargo Management System adds lockable, drainable bedside storage with LED lighting and an available 115-volt outlet. Available power running boards, a Mopar bed step, and a dampened tailgate with available power release make access easier whether you are loading gear or hitching up. Lighting is comprehensive, with distinct LED headlamps and an LED trailer hitch light integrated into the tailgate handle for after-dark hookups. For year-round readiness, the Snow Plow Prep Package comes standard, and the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake helps manage downhill speed with a load in tow.
