Ram adds two versions to its Heavy Duty model for 2026
Like the Ram 1500, a Black Express version has been added to the Ram Heavy Duty catalog for the 2026 model year. It is accompanied by an equally new Warlock version. Both will arrive later this summer from the Saltillo plant in Mexico, just like the others.
“Everyone loves a good-looking truck, but the challenge is to make them affordable while adding value to the overall lineup,” says Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis. The Ram 2500 Black Express and Warlock offer attractive pricing with a custom look, and reinforce our position as a leader in sport trucks."
Let's start with the Ram 2500 Black Express 2026, available with crew cab and short or long bed. It features a sport hood, body-matched bumpers and grille surround, 20-inch black wheels and black tubular running boards. Its convex towing mirrors are exclusive to this class.
Eight paint colors are available, including the Brilliant White shown above, Forged Blue, Ceramic Gray and Flame Red. Inside, the seats are upholstered in fabric. ParkSense parking sensors are included as standard.
The Black Express version requires an additional $3,995 over the Ram 2500 Tradesman crew cab and short bed, for an all-inclusive price of $78,385.
For its part, the Ram 2500 Warlock 2026 comes only with crew cab and short bed, but the same choice of colors. The bumpers, grille surround and fender flares are finished in black. Warlock emblems can also be found on the sides of the body.
The 20-inch wheels are shod with 33-inch Goodyear Duratrac off-road tires and controlled by Bilstein shock absorbers calibrated for on- and off-road use. An anti-skid rear differential is also fitted, as is a transfer case protection plate. The cab features the same fabric seats, except that all-weather mats protect the floor.
The Warlock version costs $4,495 more than the 2500 Tradesman model with crew cab and short bed, for an all-inclusive price of $78,885.
By the way, the engine under the hood can be either the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 (405 hp, 429 lb-ft) or the high-performance 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel (430 hp, 1,075 lb-ft).
