Stellantis Launches Two New Variants of the Ram HD 2500
The Ram brand will add two new variants of the Heavy Duty 2500 line to its growing lineup of pickups. The Black Express and Warlock versions are now available to configure and order in the US market and will arrive at dealerships in the third quarter.
Both versions are positioned below the Ram 2500 Rebel HD and Ram 2500 Power Wagon in terms of equipment level. However, they feature the main performance components of those variants at a more flexible starting price.
“Everyone likes an attractive truck, but the challenge is to make it affordable while adding value to the entire line,” said Tim Kuniskis, CEO of this Stellantis subsidiary.
The executive assured that “the Ram 2500 Black Express and Warlock will offer an attractive price with a customized look, while consolidating our leadership in sport trucks.”
The 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express can be configured with a 4×2 or 4×4 crew cab and long or short bed. It comes equipped with a sport hood, body-colored bumper and grille frame, and class-exclusive electric convex trailer mirrors.
It also comes standard with 20-inch black wheels, cloth bench seats, carpeted floor, carpeted floor mats, front and rear ParkSense system, and black tubular cab-style side steps.
The Black Express will be available in the following colors: Diamond Black, Brilliant White, Granite Crystal, Zynith Silver, Forged Blue, Flame Red, Ceramic Gray, and Molten Red.
The starting price for the 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express will be $53,735, including freight.
In contrast, the 2026 Ram 2500 Warlock will only be available with a 4×4 double cab and short bed. Its equipment includes a black grille, frames, and bumpers, a Warlock decal on the side of the bed, 20-inch diamond-cut wheels, and 34-inch Goodyear Duratrac A/T tires.
It also features class-exclusive electric convex trailer mirrors, cloth bench seats and carpet, all-weather front and rear floor mats, rear anti-slip differential, Bilstein shocks optimized for on- and off-road use, as well as a transfer case skid plate and hill descent control.
The 2026 Ram 2500 Warlock comes in Diamond Black, Brilliant White, Granite Crystal, Zynith Silver, Forged Blue, Flame Red, Ceramic Gray, and Molten Red. Its starting price is $57,165, including freight.
Both versions come standard with a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine that generates 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, but they have the option of the new high-performance 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel that produces 430 horsepower and a standard torque of 1,075 lb-ft.
Like the rest of the Ram 2500 HD lineup, the new variants are assembled at the Stellantis manufacturing complex in Saltillo, Coahuila.
