2026 Ram 2500 Model Research in Alexandria, MN

Overview

The 2026 Ram 2500 occupies the exact space that a lot of Minnesota buyers need: more capability than a half-ton without the full footprint and specialization of a Ram 3500. It hauls serious loads, tows large trailers, and handles the kind of sustained workload that would strain a lighter-duty truck — all while remaining practical enough to serve as a capable everyday vehicle for families, farmers, and contractors throughout the Alexandria area. It’s the working truck that doesn’t announce it’s compromising on anything.

Powertrain Options

The 2026 Ram 2500 is offered with a 6.4L HEMI® V8 gas engine and the available 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6. The HEMI delivers reliable, straightforward power for buyers whose work doesn’t demand diesel-level torque on a daily basis. The Cummins diesel is the clear choice for buyers who tow frequently and heavily — producing up to 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque, it handles sustained pulling work with an efficiency advantage that adds up significantly over time. An AISIN® six-speed automatic transmission handles power delivery on diesel-equipped models.

Towing & Payload

When properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 2500 can tow up to approximately 20,000 lbs with a conventional hitch — enough for large horse trailers, enclosed equipment haulers, sizeable campers, and the kind of loads that show up regularly on Minnesota farms and job sites. Payload capacity is equally competitive within the heavy-duty half of the segment. Available Ram Tow Technology features including an integrated trailer brake controller and rear camera systems make working with substantial loads more manageable and safer on two-lane rural highways and tighter terrain.

Interior & Comfort

The Ram 2500 shares its cabin excellence with the rest of the Ram heavy-duty lineup — an interior that has consistently set the standard in the segment for material quality and thoughtful layout. Available features include a 12-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen, premium leather, a Harman Kardon® audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. In Crew Cab form, the Ram 2500 is genuinely comfortable for families, not just work crews.

Safety

Available safety and driver assistance features include blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage, forward collision warning with active braking, adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera. For a truck that often operates with a loaded trailer behind it and a full payload in the bed, having driver assistance technology calibrated to heavy-duty conditions is a meaningful advantage in daily use.

Trims & Options

The 2026 Ram 2500 lineup spans Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Longhorn, Power Wagon, and Limited trims. The Power Wagon deserves special mention for outdoor enthusiasts — with a front winch, electronic lockers, and a disconnecting front sway bar, it’s a factory-built off-road HD truck that stands apart from everything else in the segment. Regular Cab, Crew Cab, and Mega Cab configurations are available across multiple trim levels.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2026 Ram 2500

How much can the 2026 Ram 2500 tow?

When properly equipped, the 2026 Ram 2500 can tow up to approximately 20,000 lbs with a conventional hitch. Actual capacity varies by engine, cab, bed, and axle configuration. The Cummins diesel consistently offers the highest towing ratings in the lineup and is the recommended choice for buyers who will use the truck’s full capability regularly.

What makes the Ram 2500 Power Wagon different?

The Power Wagon is a factory-built off-road HD truck that adds a front-mounted Warn® winch, front and rear electronic locking differentials, a disconnecting front sway bar, and off-road-tuned suspension to the 2500 platform. It’s purpose-built for buyers who need serious off-road capability alongside heavy-duty truck capacity — a combination that no other manufacturer matches in a single package at this price point.

How does the Ram 2500 compare to the Ram 3500?

The Ram 2500 offers substantial heavy-duty towing and payload capability for most applications, in a package that’s slightly more maneuverable and available in SRW configuration only. The Ram 3500 adds even higher payload and towing ratings, DRW availability for maximum stability, and is better suited for buyers who routinely operate at the absolute limits of heavy-duty capability.
