Unmatched Power and Heavy-Duty Performance
The 2026 RAM 2500 stands out across Michigan's hard-working communities from Dundee to Saline with its impressive heavy-duty capabilities. Equipped with the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel inline-6 engine, this pickup delivers a remarkable 430 horsepower combined with an industry-leading 1,075 pound-feet of torque. This translates into effortless towing and hauling, designed to support professional tradespeople and weekend adventurers alike.
Its torque peak allows the RAM 2500 Tradesman and Warlock trims to tow as much as 20,000 pounds of trailer weight, making it an ideal choice for operations from Chelsea construction sites to agricultural hauling near Clarklake. The diesel engine pairs with the advanced TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic transmission, maximizing fuel delivery efficiency and providing smooth gear changes even under heavy loads.
The suspension system is tuned to meet the varying needs of drivers across Michigan’s terrain. On Warlock models, Bilstein performance shocks enhance off-road handling and durability. This setup, combined with a limited-slip differential and skid plates guarding the transfer case, ensures stable traction and protection over rough terrain encountered near Norvell or Britton. Tradesman trim maintains a dependable, work-ready suspension, perfect for urban and rural settings like Addison or Adrian.
