The RAM 2500 remains one of the most capable and trusted heavy-duty trucks on the market, and for 2026, it carries over the major updates introduced for the 2025 model year. While changes for 2026 are relatively minimal, RAM has introduced two new trims that expand the lineup and give drivers more choice when it comes to power, capability, and styling. At Woolwine Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we’re excited to offer both the new and returning RAM 2500 models to help with your tough tasks in Mt Olive and Kola.
What’s New for the 2026 RAM 2500?
The 2026 RAM 2500 lineup doesn’t bring sweeping changes, but it does see the introduction of two new trims: the 2500 Black Express and the 2500 Warlock. Both new models are based on the entry-level Tradesman configuration, but they add more aggressive styling and customizable features to give Collins drivers a tougher look and extra capability without jumping to the higher trims.
The RAM 2500 Black Express is available as a Crew Cab with either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive and comes with a choice of a short or long bed. Blacked-out exterior accents give it a bold, stealthy appearance, while the option of either the 6.4-liter gasoline V8 or the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel gives Williamsburg drivers a pair of powerful options to work with.
The RAM 2500 Warlock is a short-bed Crew Cab 4x4 model that also shares its platform with the base Tradesman, but it features more aggressive exterior styling, off-road touches, and the same versatile engine options. No matter which of these new trims you choose, you'll get rugged looks and solid performance without jumping into luxury pricing territory.
Carrying Over the 2025 Refresh
The 2025 RAM 2500 brought a significant refresh, including revised exterior styling, updated tech options, and a refined interior across various trims. That design and feature set carries into 2026. From the high-strength steel frame to the wide range of available cab and bed configurations, the RAM 2500 continues to offer impressive versatility. Trims like the Laramie, Power Wagon, and Limited still provide premium options, while the newly added Black Express and Warlock trims provide more approachable points of entry for those who want rugged capability without excess.
Engine Options and Performance
For 2026, the RAM 2500 continues to offer the same trusted engine lineup. The standard 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 delivers 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque for hauling heavy loads or towing large trailers. For those who demand maximum torque and towing capability, the available 6.7-liter Cummins® turbodiesel inline-six offers some serious pulling power at 430 horsepower and 1,075 pound-feet of torque.
Paired with heavy-duty suspension and high-strength steel construction, the RAM 2500 handles the needs of contractors, fleet buyers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need durability and power every day. With towing capabilities that can exceed 20,000 pounds when properly equipped, this truck means business.
Why Choose the RAM 2500?
Beyond raw capability, the RAM 2500 offers a refined and comfortable interior, especially in higher trims. Available features include a 12-inch touchscreen with Uconnect®, premium audio systems, heated and ventilated seats, and advanced safety tech such as blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and 360-degree cameras. Whether you choose a workhorse trim like the Black Express or a premium model like the Limited, you’ll find the RAM 2500 delivers comfort along with capability.
The RAM 2500 is also one of the most customizable heavy-duty trucks in the market, allowing drivers to choose from multiple cab configurations, bed lengths, drivetrain options, and trim levels. This makes it easier than ever to tailor a truck to your exact work or lifestyle needs.
