Ram is keeping itself busy right now. The V-8 Hemi is back in the 1500, the brand is returning to NASCAR, and it just introduced a decade-long warranty for most of its models. Now, it’s launching two new entry-level heavy-duty sport truck options—the 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express and 2500 Warlock.

This is the first time Ram has offered a heavy-duty Warlock. It’s only available in the Crew Cab 4x4 with the short bed, designed for off-road-oriented buyers. It rides on 20-inch diamond-cut wheels wrapped in 34-inch Goodyear Duratec A/T tires. It also has a black grille surround, black bumpers, and black fender flares.

Other goodies include Bilstein shocks, an "anti-spin" rear differential, and a skid plate for the transfer case. Inside, there’s a cloth bench seat and all-weather floor mats.

The Black Express (pictured below) offers buyers a few more customization options. It’s only available in the Crew Cab layout but with either the short or long bed in 4x2 or 4x4 configurations. It has a sport performance hood, body-color bumpers and grille surround, and 20-inch black wheels.

The Express also features a cloth bench seat, carpeted floor mats, and black side steps. Both trucks are available in eight exterior colors: Diamond Black, Bright White, Granite Crystal, Silver Zynith, Forged Blue, Flame Red, Ceramic Grey, and Molten Red.

2026 Ram 2500 Power and Price

Buyers can pick between the 6.2-liter V-8 Hemi or the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel for their truck. The Hemi makes 405 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, while the Cummins produces 420 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque. Both engines pair with the brand’s Torqueflite eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 2026 Ram 2500 Warlock package costs $57,165 to start, $2,995 on top of the Tradesman trim. The Black Express is $2,495 more expensive than the Tradesman and carries a starting price of $53,735.
