2026 RAM HD Pickups: Built for Power, Poise, and Purpose

The 2026 RAM HD Pickups, which start with the RAM 2500 HD and RAM 3500 HD, are heavy-duty trucks built to handle the toughest towing, hauling, and worksite demands. They combine industrial-grade power with the comfort and intelligence of modern technology, giving drivers capability that doesn’t compromise refinement. At Vaughn Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Ottumwa, IA, these trucks prove that strength and sophistication can share the same road.

Power and Performance

From the standard 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 to the available High-Output 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel inline-six, the 2026 RAM HD Pickups deliver unstoppable strength. The high-output engine, available on the RAM 3500, produces 420 horsepower and an immense 1,075 pound-feet of torque, so you’ll always have the towing and hauling strength your projects demand. You’ll also find capable automatic transmissions that offer smooth, confident shifts, whether you’re hauling equipment, trailers, or livestock.

Technology Features

Every 2026 RAM HD Pickup turns power into precision with an interior built for command. The available 14.5-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen is the largest in its class; it’s joined by a 12-inch, fully customizable driver information cluster, and can be accompanied by a class-exclusive 10.25-inch passenger display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep crews connected, while dual wireless charging pads and the available 900-watt Harman Kardon® sound system add modern comfort to every mile.

Safety Features

Designed to protect drivers, passengers, and payload alike, the 2026 RAM HD Pickups offer Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with trailer capability, and LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. Available Drowsy Driver Detection and Traffic Sign Recognition work quietly in the background, while a 360° Surround View and Trailer Surround View Camera simplify complex maneuvers. Confidence comes standard—even with a full trailer in tow.

Towing and Cargo

Capability defines new RAM trucks. The RAM 2500 tows up to 20,000 pounds, while the RAM 3500 leads its class with up to 36,610 pounds. Both can be equipped with Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for a balanced ride, RamBox® cargo management for secure storage, LED bed lighting for nighttime tasks, and up to 2.4 kilowatts of onboard power to energize tools wherever the job takes you.
