Built for big jobs and bigger weekends, this Heavy Duty pickup brings available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 power, an HD TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic, and advanced towing tech together with a Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen. Whether you are trailering equipment down Highway 288, navigating Beltway 8 with a fifth-wheel, or heading toward the coast with a boat and family, the capability and confidence you get behind the wheel are unmistakable. The decision to lease or finance comes down to how you plan to use this truck, how often you prefer to upgrade, and how you want to manage long-term ownership. Leasing favors predictable use and faster refresh cycles, while financing rewards those who keep their truck longer, customize, and build equity. Our team at Southfork Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram guides you through both paths so you can match the truck’s serious capability with a smart, personalized plan that fits your workload and lifestyle.
Can I tow heavy loads if I lease?
Yes. You can equip your leased truck with available towing features like Trailer Reverse Steering Control, a Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, and the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera. Just stay within your mileage and wear terms.
Does financing help if I plan to add accessories?
Financing is ideal if you want to add Authentic Mopar® Accessories such as the available RamBox® Cargo Management System or a Mopar® bed step, since you own the vehicle and can customize without end-of-lease inspections.
How does mileage impact leasing a heavy-duty truck?
Leases come with mileage allowances. If you drive long distances for work across the Gulf Coast or tackle frequent site visits, you can choose a higher-mileage lease or consider financing to avoid mileage overages.
What tech features are available on both lease and finance builds?
Available Uconnect® 5 NAV with the Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch touchscreen, a 12-inch Digital Cluster Display, dual wireless charging pads, and the Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration can be configured on either path.
Is there a benefit to buying if I plan to keep the truck for 8–10 years?
Financing typically makes more sense for long-term owners who want to build equity, enjoy the full useful life of diesel or gas powertrains, and maximize resale value later.
Leasing this heavy-duty pickup appeals to drivers who want nonstop access to the latest capability and technology. Each model year continues to sharpen the formula with towing confidence features that streamline hitching and reversing, including available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, available Trailer Tow Pages in the 12-inch Digital Cluster Display, and the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera. With leasing, you can align your term to upgrade timing and seize new or improved features such as available onboard power up to 2.4 kW, Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for confident trailering, and evolving safety systems like Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking that operate even when towing. Many lease terms match the period when you are covered by factory warranties, helping control maintenance risk while you put the truck to work. If your driving is largely predictable and you like stepping into fresh style, cabin materials, and the newest Uconnect® 5 NAV capabilities every few years, leasing puts those updates on your calendar without a long-term commitment.
Financing rewards those who keep their truck for the long haul. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6, paired with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic, is engineered for serious torque and long-term duty cycles, and the 6.4L HEMI® V8 brings its own well-established durability. Owning your truck allows you to personalize with available RamBox® Cargo Management, power running boards, a Mopar® bed step, or fifth-wheel and gooseneck hardware tailored to your hauling style. If your days include long highway stretches, frequent jobsite visits, or seasonal towing that would exceed lease mileage limits, financing eliminates overage concerns. Ownership also lets you take full advantage of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque and the heavy-duty braking hardware with available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake for steep grades with heavy loads. Over years of use, you capture more value from the truck’s capability and can time your eventual trade-in around market conditions and your business needs, not a lease end date. Financing gives you the freedom to build, drive, and benefit from every mile.
The Heavy Duty formula here blends intelligent power, towing tech, and upscale usability. Available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 delivers up to 1,075 lb-ft of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque and as much as 20,000 pounds of available diesel towing capacity, supported by the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic for smooth, decisive shifting. For everyday work, the truck’s serious stopping power includes Heavy-Duty Four-Wheel Disc Antilock Brakes and an available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake to help manage downhill loads. Towing confidence is amplified by available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, and a factory Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package, while available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring feeds live data to the 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. Inside, the cab feels like a command center with the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, Uconnect® 5 NAV, available dual wireless charging pads, and the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration. Work-friendly touches abound, from the Class-Exclusive available RamBox® Cargo Management System to available Onboard Power with up to 2.4 kW for tools, lighting, or tailgating. Add the Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for steady ride height with a loaded trailer, and enjoy advanced safety and security technologies including Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with enhanced Lane Keep Assist, available Drowsy Driver Detection, and available Traffic Sign Recognition.
How you use your truck across the Gulf Coast often determines the smart path. If your workload centers on predictable commutes along I-45 and Highway 288, light trailers on weekends, and a desire to refresh tech every few years, leasing keeps you in step with innovations like the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch touchscreen, Trailer Tow Pages, and evolving driver-assist systems. If your day includes frequent trips to jobsites, hauling equipment through stop-and-go traffic, or monthly runs between Katy and Rosenberg with heavy loads, financing puts no limits on mileage and empowers you to upfit with work-ready accessories. Coastal living also means you may value available Onboard Power up to 2.4 kW for tools at remote sites and the available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for stable towing on uneven surfaces. For many drivers, a lease suits the desire to ride the latest wave of capability, while financing pays off for those building a long-term tool for business and recreation. If you want maximum control over customizations, wear-and-tear, and long-haul value from a 2026 Ram 2500 near Houston, TX, financing is often the right call—while a lease excels when flexibility and frequent upgrades matter most.
We make the decision simple with transparent tools and personalized guidance. Start from home with our online pre-qualification, payment calculators, and trade-in valuation to model lease versus finance scenarios around your estimated miles, towing needs, and preferred term. Our product specialists take time to understand how you will use your truck—fifth-wheel RVs, equipment trailers, or daily heavy payloads—and then tailor recommendations that align capability, features, and ownership structure. We also offer detailed walkarounds of towing tech like Trailer Reverse Steering Control, the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, and the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package so you can see how each feature supports your routine. At delivery, we review best practices for the available Digital Rearview Mirror and Uconnect® 5 NAV customization, and our factory-certified service team supports you afterward with maintenance schedules that protect long-term durability. Southfork Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram provides clear, side-by-side comparisons of lease and finance options, helps you lock in the right truck configuration, and keeps the process efficient whether you prefer to complete most steps online or sit down with our finance consultants. When you are ready to choose your path, Southfork Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram stands behind the decision with ongoing service, accessories support, and a customer-first approach.
