Allways Atascosa Ram – What to Know About the 2026 RAM 2500

The 2026 RAM 2500 continues the Heavy Duty legacy with serious strength, smart technology and refinements that make every mile more confident. Whether your day involves towing equipment to a jobsite, hauling a trailer across the state or commuting with family, this truck blends high-output performance with advanced driver assistance and an upscale, functional cabin. It is engineered to work hard, ride comfortably and deliver the control, visibility and connectivity modern drivers expect.

Power is the headline. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 brings best-in-class available base diesel torque and authoritative horsepower, matched to a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic tuned for smooth, durable shifting. If your priority leans toward payload and a traditional gas setup, the 6.4L HEMI V8 remains a strong choice. Towing confidence is amplified by a suite of trailer-focused features that simplify hookups, backing and highway travel with a heavy load. From mountain passes to rural back roads, the 2026 RAM 2500 is built to keep power, braking and stability on your side.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is the diesel or gas engine better for me?

If you tow heavy or need maximum low-end pull, the High-Output Cummins diesel is ideal. For mixed duty with frequent payload and daily driving, the 6.4L HEMI gas engine is a great fit.

What towing tech should I prioritize?

Pair Trailer Reverse Steering Control with the 360-degree Trailer Surround View Camera and the Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package for easier hookups, better visibility and stable highway manners.

Which interior features matter most for long days?

Look for the 14.5-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5 NAV, the 12-inch Digital Cluster, the Digital Rearview Mirror, dual wireless charging and the 17-speaker audio for comfort and clarity.

Can I power tools directly from the truck?

Yes. The available onboard power system offers a 400-watt inverter or an available 2.4-kilowatt inverter to run tools, chargers and campsite gear without a separate generator.

How do I maximize bed utility?

Choose RamBox cargo management for secure, drainable storage; add LED bed lighting, a dampened tailgate with available power release and bed steps for easier access and nighttime work.
