A Buyer's Guide to the 2026 Ram 2500 in British Columbia

British Columbia asks a lot of its trucks. Whether you're hauling equipment to a job site in the Fraser Valley, towing a boat up to the Okanagan, or navigating logging roads on Vancouver Island, a heavy-duty truck needs to earn its keep. The 2026 Ram 2500 is built for exactly that — eight trim levels, serious capability across the board, and a 6.4-litre V-8 powering every one of them.

Here's what you need to know before you buy.

What Engine Powers the 2026 Ram 2500?

Every 2026 Ram 2500 uses a 6.4-litre V-8 producing 405 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It runs on regular unleaded fuel and requires no DEF fluid — straightforward to run and service on BC job sites far from a dealer.

How Much Can the Ram 2500 Tow?

Maximum towing capacity is 6,772 kg (14,932 lbs) on properly equipped 4WD models — enough to pull large fifth-wheel campers, multi-axle equipment trailers, or a 24-foot boat to the lake. If towing is a priority, choose a 4WD trim. The base Big Horn is rear-wheel drive only and towing figures are not specified for that configuration.

What's the Difference Between the Rebel and Power Wagon?

Both are off-road-focused 4WD trims with Bilstein shocks and 360.7 mm of ground clearance, but they're built for different needs. The Rebel targets buyers who want off-road capability with a sporty look — 20-inch machined wheels, two-tone exterior accents, and suspension tuned for rough terrain. The Power Wagon is the more technically equipped option, adding TruLok mechanical locking front and rear differentials, a 5,443 kg (12,000 lb) front winch, Articulink suspension, and hill descent control. Both seat six and include automatic climate control.

What About the Luxury Trims?

The Limited and Limited Longhorn are for buyers who want heavy-duty capability without sacrificing interior comfort. Both include leather seating, proximity key door access, remote start, chrome grille with body-coloured bumpers, and HD suspension tuned for highway towing and daily driving. The Limited Longhorn adds Western-inspired design details. Both seat five.

How Many People Does the Ram 2500 Seat?

• Big Horn: 3 passengers (front bench)
• Black Express, Warlock, Laramie, Rebel, Power Wagon: 6 passengers
• Limited, Limited Longhorn: 5 passengers (front bucket seats)

What Safety Features Are Standard?

All trims include front-impact airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags, curtain airbags, side-impact beams, four-wheel ABS with traction control and brake assist, electronic stability control with anti-rollover, LED headlights, daytime running lights, and remote keyless entry with panic alarm.

What Are the Fuel Tank Capacities?

Rebel and Power Wagon trims have 117.3-litre tanks, while Limited trims carry 121.1 litres — providing extended range for remote BC highways and work sites.

What Is the Warranty Coverage?

• Basic: 36 months / 60,000 km
• Powertrain: 120 months / 160,000 km
• Corrosion perforation: 60 months / 160,000 km
• Roadside assistance: 60 months / 100,000 km

The 10-year/160,000 km powertrain warranty is backed across all eight trims.
