2026 Ram 2500 Launched - What’s New in Trims and Features?

Saudi Arabia : Through 2500, Ram aims to add more budget-conscious options in its HD lineup.

Ram is staying active right now. After announcing the V8 Hemi engine for the 1500 pickup, returning to NASCAR racing and introducing a new ten-year warranty on most of its models, it has now launched two new entry-level heavy-duty trucks. 

These are the Ram 2500 Black Express and the Ram 2500 Warlock. Both models aim to offer more value and options for customers looking for strong, affordable trucks.

2026 Ram 2500 – Style and Off-roading

Ram has launched the heavy-duty Warlock for the first time. It only comes in a Crew Cab 4x4 with a short bed, aimed at buyers who want off-road capabilities. The truck rides on 20-inch diamond-cut wheels, wrapped in large 34-inch Goodyear Duratrac A/T tyres. It features a black grille surround, matching black bumpers, and black fender flares for a bold look.

This version is equipped with Bilstein shocks, an "anti-spin" rear differential, and a skid plate to protect the transfer case. Inside, there’s a cloth bench seat and all-weather floor mats, making it practical and tough for off-road adventures.

The Black Express gives buyers more options to customise. It only comes in the Crew Cab style but can be fitted with either a short or long bed. It’s available in 4x2 or 4x4 drive options. The truck has a sport-style hood, matching color bumpers, and a grille surround. It also features 20-inch black wheels for a bold look.

Inside, the Express comes with a cloth bench seat and carpeted floor mats. Black side steps add to its sporty feel. Both trims are offered in eight different colors. These include Diamond Black, Granite Crystal, Bright White, Silver Zynith, Forged Blue, Ceramic Grey, Flame Red, and Molten Red.
