CardinaleWay Ram Santa Rosa - What to Know About the 2026 RAM 2500
The 2026 Ram 2500 raises the bar for heavy-duty pickups with a formula that blends work-first capability, long-haul comfort and smart technology you can rely on every day. Whether the mission involves hauling equipment to a jobsite or towing a boat to the coast, this truck delivers confident power and control with thoughtful features that make tough tasks feel straightforward. As your local Ram experts, we focus on helping you match the right configuration to your needs so you get the most from your investment from day one.
Capability is the heart of the 2026 Ram 2500. An available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 teams with a robust HD eight-speed automatic to deliver serious muscle, including Best-in-Class available base diesel torque when properly equipped. A proven 6.4L HEMI V8 is available for customers who prefer gas power. Towing-focused technology supports the muscle with tools like Trailer Reverse Steering Control, an integrated trailer brake controller, a 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera and available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring for up to four trailers. The result is a truck that works with you — not against you — when the load gets heavy and the space gets tight.
Inside, the Ram 2500 is designed to keep you alert, comfortable and connected. The available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen with Uconnect 5 NAV offers crisp graphics, fast responses and tow-specific navigation. The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display puts turn-by-turn directions, vehicle dynamics and trailer pages within your sightline. Add the Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration to get real-time video when a trailer blocks the traditional mirror view. Dual wireless charging pads, available active noise cancellation and the available 900-watt Harman Kardon premium audio system turn the cabin into a quiet mobile office.
For job-ready versatility, Ram built smart storage and power solutions into the 2026 Ram 2500. The available RamBox Cargo Management System provides lockable, drainable bed-side bins with LED lighting and available 115-volt power. An available onboard power system can turn the truck into a generator for tools on remote sites. You can outfit the truck with features that boost everyday usability — LED bed lighting, a dampened tailgate with available power release, an available Mopar bed step and available power side running boards. A Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps level out heavy payloads and enhances towing confidence.

Safety and driver assistance systems contribute meaningful peace of mind. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking can help bring the truck to a stop — even with a trailer attached.
