2026 Ram 2500: A Must Have Truck for Power, Towing, & More!

In suburban Ohio, especially around Massillon, the days are full. From hauling supplies for that backyard project to running errands after work to towing the camper out for a weekend escape, life doesn’t pause just because your truck feels tired. That’s where the 2026 Ram 2500 comes in—a heavy-duty pickup with enough muscle, personality, and fun to make even the busiest days a little smoother.

New Updates: Two New Faces of Tough

The 2026 Dodge Ram 2500 roars into the new model year with attitude dialed up and strength to match. Two fresh trims—Black Express and Warlock—showcase style and muscle in ways that make this heavy-duty pickup impossible to ignore.

Black Express: A sportier option with a monochromatic look, a bulging performance hood, and black 20-inch wheels. This trim blends brawn with sleek urban swagger.

Warlock: Rooted in Ram’s history, this trim is all about off-road adventure. It comes with Bilstein dampers, 34-inch Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires, skid plates, and that rugged Warlock decal that leaves no doubt it’s ready for the dirt.

Together, these trims add personality to the already powerful Ram 2500, showing you don’t need to compromise between tough and stylish. Drivers can also explore the 2026 Ram 2500 Black out package, which brings body-color bumpers, blacked-out badging, and darkened accents across the truck for an aggressive, street-ready look that turns heads.

At Progressive Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, your local dealership in Stark County, we’re excited to see these new models roll in. They’re expected to hit dealerships between July and September 2025. Inventory isn’t available just yet, but keep an eye on our New Inventory you’ll want to be first in line when the Black Express and Warlock arrive.

Performance: Heavy-Duty Meets Everyday Adventure

Muscle is the name of the game, and the 2026 Ram 2500 features prove it. From heavy hauling to daily errands, this truck flexes strength and agility that feel right at home in Massillon.

Engine: Powerhouse Under the Hood

The heart of the Ram beats strongest under the hood, and it’s the first reason this truck feels unstoppable.

• Standard 6.4-liter Hemi V8 delivering 405 horsepower for confident hauling and daily muscle.
• Legendary 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel inline six built for torque, endurance, and long-haul strength.

These 2026 Ram 2500 engine options give you the muscle to pull weight, climb hills, and tackle long hauls—power that’s especially useful for the busy drivers of Canton, OH, where work and play both demand strength you can count on.

Transmission: Smooth Shifts, Heavy Loads

When you marry those engines to their transmissions—an eight-speed automatic with the Hemi or a six-speed automatic with the Cummins—you get more than smooth shifts. You get seamless power delivery that makes towing feel less like work and more like command. It’s a combination built for hauling trailers, carrying heavy loads, and still having the responsiveness to glide through traffic or back into a tight driveway without breaking a sweat.

Acceleration: Surprising for Its Size

Acceleration is where the Ram 2500 flexes its muscle. The 2026 Ram 2500 specs prove it launches from 0–60 mph in under seven seconds with the Hemi V8, giving you a surge of confidence every time you hit the throttle. In North Canton, OH, where busy roads demand quick moves, that kind of punch turns a heavy-duty workhorse into a truck that feels sharp, responsive, and ready for anything.

Towing Capacity: Muscle That Moves More

When it comes to pulling weight, the Ram doesn’t hold back. The 2026 Ram 2500 delivers towing numbers that remind you why heavy-duty trucks exist in the first place. Hook up a trailer, a boat, or a camper, and the truck responds with confidence instead of strain. It’s this raw pulling strength that transforms tough jobs into everyday wins, proving that power can also feel effortless when engineered right. 

Fuel Economy: Respectable for Heavy Duty

Fuel economy may not be the headline for a heavy-duty pickup, but it’s a feature that keeps the Ram practical beyond its muscle. The 6.4L HEMI V8 will likely get around 12 mpg city and 18 mpg highway, and weekend trips demand a truck that goes the distance.

Behind every great truck is a smart plan to bring it home, and that’s where our finance department shines. We help drivers explore loan options, break down monthly payments, and explain 2026 Ram 2500 lease choices without the jargon. From finding deals that fit your budget to guiding you step by step through the paperwork, our team makes the process as smooth as the truck’s own transmission. It’s all about making sure the financial side is just as strong and reliable as the ride itself. 

Inside the Truck: Comfort Without Compromise

Interior: Where Comfort Meets Muscle

The transition from muscle to comfort happens the moment you settle into the cabin. Ram has built a reputation for the most inviting interiors in the heavy-duty segment, and the 2026 model proves it yet again. The 2026 Ram 2500 interior feels like a second living space—spacious, refined, and practical enough to handle muddy boots and long days without losing its premium feel.

• Seating: Cloth bench seats are standard in the Black Express and Warlock, with available leather in higher trims.
• Tech: A large central touchscreen, crisp digital displays, and an available co-pilot screen for passengers.
• Practicality: Plenty of storage cubbies, all-weather floor mats, and easy-to-clean carpet.
• Style: Monochrome Black Express or rugged Warlock details give you two distinct personalities to choose from.

Infotainment: Tech That Keeps Up

Infotainment in a heavy-duty truck isn’t just about bells and whistles—it’s about keeping you connected while you’re conquering the day. The 2026 Ram 2500 makes tech a core part of the experience with the Uconnect system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an available Wi-Fi hotspot. Upper trims raise the game with in-dash navigation, premium audio, and expanded digital screens. Whether it’s streaming music on a short drive or using navigation on a road trip, the system feels sharp, modern, and effortless to use.

Safety Features: Confidence Everywhere

In Ohio, safety isn’t just another checkbox—it’s what gives peace of mind on crowded highways and quiet rural backroads alike. Ram has always treated protection as a priority, and the 2500 continues that tradition with confidence at the forefront:

• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane-keeping assist
• Forward collision warning with emergency braking
• Trailer sway control

The Warlock trim adds off-road stability features, while higher trims expand the driver-assist tech package. Safety isn’t optional here—it’s standard.
