Hey Alvin, your next workhorse has rolled in, and it has a serious appetite for mud, sand, and back-pasture trails. The 2026 Ram 2500 Power Wagon delivers something Ram fans have been waiting on: a Cummins diesel option paired with the legendary Power Wagon off-road kit. At Ron Carter CDJR, we want you behind the wheel of the most capable Heavy Duty pickup the Ram brand has built yet.

This is a truck that pulls boats out of Mustang Bayou in the morning, runs lumber across town in the afternoon, and tackles ranch trails on the weekend. Let’s walk through everything that makes the Ram 2500 Power Wagon special.

A Diesel-Powered Off-Road Truck Built to Dominate

The headline news for 2026 is the new diesel pairing. You can now combine the strength of the Power Wagon platform with the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine, mated to the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission. That setup gives you up to 430 maximum diesel horsepower and a best-in-class available 1,075 pound-feet of base diesel torque.

If you tow gooseneck trailers across Brazoria County or haul equipment from Pearland to Galveston, you will love the available maximum diesel towing capacity of 20,000 pounds. Gas powertrains can pull up to 17,750 pounds and carry a maximum gas payload of 3,930 pounds. Diesel builds carry up to 3,600 pounds of payload, so the 2026 Ram 2500 Power Wagon brings real muscle to your driveway no matter which engine you pick.

Off-Road Hardware That Earns Its Keep

The Power Wagon name has long been the gold standard among heavy-duty off-road trucks, and the 2026 model keeps that reputation intact with class-leading mechanical kit:

• Class-Exclusive Electronic Front Sway Bar Disconnect for extra wheel articulation on uneven ground
• Class-Exclusive Front Electronic Locking Differential plus a Rear Electronic Locking Differential
• Bilstein Shock System tuned for rough terrain
• Hill Descent Control to keep you steady on the way down
• Sport Performance Hood for an aggressive look
• Rock Rails to shield the rocker panels
• Goodyear All-Terrain Tires for grip in mud, sand, and rocks

Add the available Transfer Case Skid Plate on 4×4 builds, and you have an off-road truck ready to take on the toughest weekend adventures around Alvin. Snow Plow Prep also comes standard, bringing along a 220-amp alternator and snow plow prep wiring. Even with Texas weather, that extra electrical capacity comes in handy for off-grid gear and accessories.

Built for Big Jobs Across Brazoria County

Beyond the trail kit, the 2026 Ram 2500 carries serious heavy-duty credentials. You get up to 11,040 pounds of maximum GVWR. Crew Cab models with the 8-foot bed can be equipped with a largest-in-class available 50-gallon fuel tank, so long drives between fill-ups become routine on a road trip to West Texas or down to the coast.

Towing tech has gone next level. The available Trailer Reverse Steering Control lets you back up trailers using a knob while the truck handles the steering wheel automatically. The available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring system delivers live tire pressure readings for up to four trailers, viewable on the 12-inch Digital Cluster Display when paired with the Tow Tech Package. If you run fifth-wheel rigs or gooseneck setups, the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package includes a factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember with integrated mounting hardware that bolts right up to a hitch.

Heavy-Duty Four-Wheel Disc Antilock Brakes come standard, and the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake gives diesel drivers extra control when descending grades with a heavy load.

Tech That Pulls Its Weight

Step inside any 2026 Ram 2500 Power Wagon at Ron Carter CDJR and you will notice this is the most advanced Ram Heavy Duty cabin ever built. Front and center sits the largest-in-class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen running Uconnect 5 NAV. You can create up to five driver profiles, view tow-specific navigation, and access available Ram Connect Services for safety and comfort control.

Pair that with the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display, which shows full-color 3D graphics, turn-by-turn navigation, gauge summaries, vehicle dynamics, and Off-Road Pages with pitch and roll data. The Off-Road Pages also surface traction control, gear shifting info, and more, putting trail intel right in your line of sight when the pavement ends.

Other tech highlights you will find on the Ram 2500 Power Wagon include:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay support and wireless Android Auto compatibility
• 360 Surround View Camera for low-speed maneuvering
• Class-Exclusive 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display
• Class-Exclusive dual wireless charging pads with ventilation
• Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration
• Available Tow Mode Camera and exterior mirror cameras

The Send & Go feature pushes destinations to your nav system from your phone, the Vehicle Finder helps you locate the truck in a crowded parking lot, and Remote Vehicle Start gets the cabin temperature dialed in before you climb in. During Alvin summers, that pre-cooled cabin is a small luxury you will appreciate every single day.

Confidence Built In

The 2026 Ram 2500 brings over 100 standard and available safety and security features to the table. Class-Exclusive Adaptive Cruise Control comes standard, helping you keep a set distance from traffic ahead and even bringing the truck to a complete stop while towing if needed. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking helps reduce the chance of an impact when things get tight.

Available LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist gently nudges you back into your lane during unintentional drifts. Available Drowsy Driver Detection picks up on tired driving and prompts you to take a break, and available Traffic Sign Recognition keeps speed limits and road signs visible on the cluster display.

Backing up to a trailer at dusk? The LED Trailer Hitch Light built into the tailgate handle area lights up your work zone. The Rear Seat Reminder Alert helps make sure you don’t leave anything important behind when stepping out.
