The 2026 Ram 2500 is the kind of heavy-duty pickup that rewards careful research. It blends proven engineering with thoughtful upgrades that matter whether you run a crew, tow on weekends, or simply want a confident daily driver with long-haul stamina. For shoppers comparing options near Benton, KY, this truck’s mix of best-in-class available torque, advanced trailering tech, and a Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen adds up to an easy shortlist winner. Our team at David Taylor CDJR of Mayfield takes a buying-guide approach—walking you through capability decisions like gas vs. diesel, axle ratios, bed and cab configurations, and the tech and safety systems that simplify life behind the wheel—so you can choose a 2026 Ram 2500 that fits how you work and live around Marshall County and beyond.
Capability starts with choice. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 pairs with a TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic to deliver 430 horsepower and a Best-in-Class available 1,075 lb-ft of base diesel torque. If you prefer gas, the 6.4L HEMI® V8 brings robust payload and strong towing manners. Ram backs that power with smart features that make hard tasks feel easier: an available 50-gallon Largest-in-Class fuel tank on Crew Cab 8-foot-bed models, Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for confident towing posture, and tow-enhancing tech like available Trailer Reverse Steering Control plus available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera.

Tow pages and an available 12-inch Digital Cluster put vital info—like trailer tire pressures and brake settings—front and center. Families and crews appreciate Mega Cab® flexibility, while available Dual Wireless Charging Pads keep devices powered without cable clutter. Add the available 17-speaker Harman Kardon® system and advanced camera views, and the Ram 2500 turns long days on KY highways into quiet, confident drives.
