2026 RAM 2500 Model Review - Scottsdale, AZ

What's New for the 2026 RAM 2500?

RAM's heavy-duty pickup truck welcomes two new trims to the lineup, both of which are based on the entry-level Tradesman trim. Drivers seeking an aggressive look will be interested in the black-accented RAM 2500 Black Express. Its 20-inch black alloy wheels, body-color grille and bumpers, and sport performance hood make a bold statement.

For adventure lovers who enjoy traveling off the beaten path, RAM offers the trail-ready 2500 Warlock. Rugged features like 34-inch Goodyear Duratrac A/T tires, Bilstein off-road shocks, and skid plates enable you to tackle more challenging terrain.
