New 2026 Ram 2500 Tradesman

The 2026 Ram 2500 Tradesman is a heavy-duty pickup designed to handle serious work without unnecessary frills. It continues to offer a strong blend of durability, power, and affordability. Starting at around $45,525 for a basic rear-wheel-drive Regular Cab with an 8-foot bed, the Tradesman is available in various cab and drivetrain configurations. The Crew Cab 4×2 starts near $49,145, while 4×4 versions begin around $52,075, with higher prices depending on optional equipment and packages. Under the hood, buyers can choose between a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 producing roughly 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, or a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel engine that puts out around 430 horsepower and a massive 1,075 lb-ft of torque. These engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and provide the strength needed for towing and hauling heavy loads. While the Tradesman is considered the base trim, it comes surprisingly well-equipped for 2026. Many models include a 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, built-in Wi-Fi, Alexa support, a 400-watt inverter, and a 115V power outlet. Safety features like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, trailer tow pages, front and rear parking sensors, and a backup camera are either standard or optional on most builds. Ram has also expanded the Tradesman lineup with new appearance-based and performance-focused variants such as the Black Express and Warlock, which add a sportier edge to the otherwise utilitarian truck. These trims start around $53,735 and offer upgraded styling and off-road enhancements. The 2026 Ram 2500 Tradesman remains a capable, powerful, and well-priced option in the heavy-duty pickup segment, combining job-ready utility with updated tech and customization options for a broader range of buyers.
