2026 RAM 2500: Dimensions, Weight, and Design

The exact weight and dimensions of the full-size Heavy Duty pickup will depend on your choice among the three available cabs (Regular, Crew, or Mega), as well as the cargo bed length (short 6'4" or long 8').

Do not forget that, for a smaller truck with impressive performance, you can always turn to the RAM 1500.

Exterior Design

The RAM 2500 underwent a major refresh last year with numerous improvements that it carries forward into 2026. Still as tough as ever, you will benefit from front bumpers and a radiator grille unique to each trim, on top of 11 body colours. For the RAM 2500, you will also have a choice of 18- to 20-inch wheels, allowing you to personalize your truck even more.

Interior Design

Let us not forget that even though the manufacturer builds rugged trucks designed to dominate the job site, RAM is just as well known for its refined interiors with unmatched levels of comfort. With ergonomic, luxurious cabins, finished with premium materials, the RAM 2500 will quickly make you forget the hours spent on the road.
