What powertrains are available on the 2026 Ram 2500 in Canada?
The 2026 Ram 2500 in Canada is offered with two powertrains: the 6.4L Hemi V8 at 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque (8-speed automatic), and the optional Cummins Turbo Diesel 6.7L at 370 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque available from the Big Horn trim up. The diesel carries a $15,000 to $18,000 purchase premium but provides a maximum tow rating of 7,484 kg (16,500 lb) versus 5,170 kg (11,400 lb) for the 6.4L Hemi in Crew Cab 4x4 configuration. For intensive fifth-wheel or large trailer towing, the diesel is the necessary choice. For versatile use (job site, occasional towing, daily driving), the Hemi V8 offers lower acquisition and maintenance costs while remaining highly capable.
