How the 2026 RAM 2500 Stands Out
-
Best-in-Class available base diesel torque for confident mountain towing
-
Available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch touchscreen for streamlined controls
-
Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for smoother towing
-
Best-in-Class available onboard power up to 2.4 kW to run tools and gear
-
Available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and Trailer Reverse Steering Control
-
Class-Exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control that works while towing
Many heavy-duty trucks boast big numbers, but the 2026 Ram 2500 backs them with smart, real-world advantages. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 delivers Best-in-Class available base diesel torque, and when paired with the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed, it’s tuned for durability and smooth shifting. Some competitors require you to upgrade for a larger central display; Ram offers the available Largest-in-Class 14.5-inch touchscreen with intuitive menus that make towing features easy to access. Ram’s class-exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension helps reduce squat and improve stability, and the available Best-in-Class onboard power up to 2.4 kW turns your bed into a jobsite power source—something rivals typically can’t match at this level. For Colorado Springs drivers who navigate grades, crosswinds, and busy interchanges, available 360° Trailer Surround View and Trailer Reverse Steering Control take the stress out of tight maneuvers, while class-exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control that works while towing helps on long stretches of I-25. It’s a combination that makes the Ram 2500 a smart fit against other heavy-duty options and a natural match for the Front Range.
