2026 Ram 2500: Frequently Asked Questions
What trim levels does the 2026 Ram 2500 come in?
The 2026 Ram 2500 is offered in the work-focused Tradesman, the popular Big Horn (badged Lone Star in some markets), the leather-lined Laramie, and the luxury Limited, along with the off-road Power Wagon and the Western-themed Limited Longhorn. Each can be configured as a work truck or a well-appointed daily hauler.
Should I get the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel or the 6.4L HEMI gas engine?
The standard 6.4L HEMI V8 gas engine makes 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque and is the lower-cost, lighter choice for lighter towing and mixed use. The available 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel inline-six produces 430 horsepower and a massive 1,075 lb-ft of torque, making it the pick for heavy, frequent towing. The diesel commands a price premium but delivers far more low-end pulling power.
How much torque does the 2026 Ram 2500 Cummins make?
The 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel in the 2026 Ram 2500 delivers 1,075 lb-ft of torque along with 430 horsepower. That's the High Output version of the Cummins, which Ram paired with a heavy-duty eight-speed automatic. All that torque arrives low in the rev range, which is what makes the truck feel effortless under a heavy trailer.
What is the Ram 2500 Power Wagon?
The Power Wagon is the 2500's dedicated off-road trim, adding a factory winch, electronic locking front and rear differentials, a disconnecting front sway bar, and specialized suspension. It is offered exclusively with the 6.4L HEMI V8, not the Cummins diesel, because the gas engine's lighter weight better suits its off-road mission.
How much can the 2026 Ram 2500 tow?
Properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 2500 tows up to about 17,740 pounds with the 6.4L HEMI V8. Stepping up to the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel raises maximum towing to roughly 20,000 pounds. Actual capacity depends on cab, bed, axle ratio, and hitch type.
What is the 2026 Ram 2500's payload capacity?
Maximum payload reaches about 4,580 pounds when the 2500 is configured with the 6.4L HEMI V8, a Regular Cab, 4x2, and the 8-foot bed. Choosing the heavier Cummins diesel lowers maximum payload to roughly 3,600 pounds, and the off-road Power Wagon carries about 1,570 pounds. Payload varies with configuration and equipment.
Is the 6.7L Cummins standard or optional on the Ram 2500?
The 6.4L HEMI V8 is the standard engine, and the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel is an available upgrade at extra cost. For 2026, Ram offers the diesel in its High Output form (430 hp / 1,075 lb-ft), so buyers who add the Cummins get the stronger diesel rather than a lower-output version.
How much does the 2026 Ram 2500 cost?
Pricing varies widely by trim, cab, bed length, drivetrain, and whether you add the Cummins diesel, which carries a significant premium over the standard HEMI gas engine. Because Ram Heavy Duty pricing and incentives change often, contact Mahon CDJR for current pricing and offers on in-stock Ram 2500s.
