2023 RAM Truck Exterior Upgrades

The 2023 RAM Rebel truck used the Power Wagon as a starting point, for example skid plates are still in use to protect the fuel tank and transfer case, and 33-inch tires wrap eight-lug 20-inch wheels. However, there are several new upgrades that we are ecstatic about. One being only the rear axle is lockable, making a massive improvement on what the Rebel can transport, putting it at a whopping 3140 lbs of payload rating and a crushing 16,870 lbs towing capability.

  • Trailer reverse guidance
  • Caro-view camera
  • Surround-view camera setup
  • Telescoping side mirrors that electrically extend out

RAM 2500 2023 Interior Upgrades

From noise-canceling software that keeps rattling in the cabin at a low, to the refreshingly old-school high or low driving modes, the 2023 RAM 2500 is sure to impress. Don’t mistake the 2023 RAM Rebel as a small truck just because it’s only a 3 seater. This baby gives 40.9 in front leg room, 39.8 in. in the front head space, and is 232 in. in length with a height of 78 in. to make up for it. RAM is also offering three different interior upgrades that include: cloth front bucket or bench seats, Bristol leather upholstery, or Natura Plus leather upholstery. Dare we call it luxurious?! YES!

Technology

On the tech side of things, the 2023 RAM 2500 Rebel doesn’t disappoint here either. It comes with a standard 360-degree surround-view camera system, an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment center that can be upgraded to 12 inches. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, and voice recognition are also available technology features. 

Safety

This new RAM 2500 offers multiple different safety features, but most of them are optional. Some of the features include blind-spot monitoring, rearview camera mirror, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic warning, automatic high beam headlights, adaptive cruise control, and different towing modes.

The warranty options include:

  • Basic: 3 years/36,000 miles
  • Drivetrain: 5 years/60,000 miles
  • Corrosion: 5 years/100,000 miles
  • Roadside Assistance: 5 years/ 60,000 miles

Under the Hood of the 2023 Dodge RAM 2500

The 2023 RAM 2500 keeps the familiar 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 as the standard as it produces 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. It also sports an eight-speed transmission which transfers power to the rear or all four wheels via two-speed transfer case. The 2023 Dodge RAM 2500 is the first heavy-duty off-road truck that has an optional diesel engine, complying to the customer’s demands from previous years. The prodigious diesel engine is expected to produce 850 pound-feet at 1700 rpm that’s routed through a 6-speed automatic transmission thanks to the 370-hp 6.7-liter turbo diesel inline-six.

The 2026 Ram 2500 is a heavy-duty work truck that’s available in nine trim options, each coming with impressive features.

Exploring 2026 Ram 2500 Strengths & Styles

The 2026 Ram 2500 adds two new trims, the Black Express and Warlock, along with expanded towing capacity on Cummins diesel models. Buyers can choose between a 405 horsepower HEMI V8 or a 430 horsepower Cummins diesel with 1,075 pound feet of torque and up to 20,000 pounds of towing capacity. Pricing for the 2026 Ram 2500 starts in the mid $40,000 range, with Cummins diesel models backed by a 10 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. The 2026 Ram 2500 is built for drivers who need serious capability without sacrificing everyday comfort. If your workday includes towing equipment, hauling a fifth wheel, or navigating rural roads with a heavy trailer in tow, this truck was made with YOU in mind. 2026 Ram 2500 Overview The biggest news for the Ram 2500 is the addition of two brand new trims. Black Express models arrive as a sport inspired appearance package built on the Tradesman. It features a sport performance hood, black 20 inch wheels, body color bumpers, a black grille, black running boards, and cloth upholstery inside. The Warlock trim is even more exciting for off-road fans and is offered exclusively in crew cab, short bed form. The first ever HD Warlock trim brings: Black Exterior Trim Warlock Graphics 20” Diamond Cut Wheels 34” Goodyear Duratrac All Terrain Tires Bilstein Off-Road Shocks Skid Plates Beyond the new trims, the 2026 Ram 2500 carries over its strong foundation with a few notable updates. The available Cummins diesel configuration now tows up to 20,000 pounds. Select models gain additional gross vehicle weight rating through revised certification, which increases the maximum payload some configurations can carry. Standard Performance Every 2026 Ram 2500 comes standard with a 6.4 liter HEMI V8 producing 405 horsepower and 429 pound feet of torque, paired with an eight speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. For buyers who need more pulling power, the available 6.7 liter High Output Cummins Turbo Diesel is hard to beat. It delivers 430 horsepower and a class leading 1,075 pound feet of torque through the same eight speed automatic. Rear wheel drive comes standard on most trims, while the Warlock, Rebel, and Power Wagon come standard with four wheel drive for serious off road capability. Properly equipped, the Cummins diesel can tow up to 20,000 pounds. The HEMI V8 can handle up to roughly 17,750 pounds, giving buyers flexibility depending on how much weight they need to move. Heavy Duty MPG Heavy duty trucks like the 2026 Ram 2500 are not required to carry official EPA fuel economy ratings, and Ram does not publish them for this reason. That said, real world estimates give buyers a good sense of what to expect. Actual fuel economy will vary based on cab style, drivetrain, towing load, and driving conditions, but the diesel remains the stronger choice for buyers who spend a lot of time on the highway or towing heavy trailers over long distances. The 6.4 liter HEMI V8 is generally estimated around 12 to 15 mpg city and 18 to 22 mpg highway depending on configuration and load. A 6.7 liter Cummins diesel tends to perform better on long hauls, with real world estimates landing in the range of 15 to 19 mpg combined. 0-60 MPH For a truck built primarily around towing and payload capacity, the 2026 Ram 2500 offers surprisingly confident acceleration. Models equipped with the HEMI V8 typically reach 60 mph in around 7 seconds, which feels plenty quick for a truck of this size and weight. The Cummins diesel may post a similar or slightly different time on paper, but its massive low end torque often makes it feel just as strong off the line, especially when towing or carrying a load. That torque advantage is part of why so many buyers choose the diesel for work that involves frequent hauling. Numerous Interior Variations The 2026 Ram 2500 cabin spans a wide range depending on trim, so there is an option for nearly every type of buyer. 2026 Ram 2500 Tradesman trims keep things simple and durable with vinyl upholstery and flooring, making it easy to clean after a long day on the job site. Step up to the Big Horn or Lone Star and you will find cloth upholstery, added comfort features, and a more refined look. The Black Express brings its own cloth interior treatment paired with the trim's sport inspired exterior styling. At the top of the lineup, the Limited and Limited Longhorn trims offer genuine leather seating along with heated and ventilated front seats, giving the cabin a genuinely upscale feel. No matter the trim, the 2026 Ram 2500 is known for a comfortable ride and a spacious cabin. Impressive Technology The 2026 Ram 2500 offers an impressive lineup of technology features designed to make towing, hauling, and daily driving easier. Buyers can choose from a range of available systems depending on trim level and options. An available 14.5 inch touchscreen running Uconnect 5 puts navigation, media, and vehicle settings within easy reach. A 10.25 inch front passenger display allows a passenger to control entertainment and navigation without disrupting the driver. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, keeping smartphone integration simple across the lineup. The available Tow Tech Package adds a 12 inch digital cluster display capable of showing live tire pressure readings for up to four trailers at once. A trailer steering knob feature lets drivers control trailer direction while backing up, with the system managing the truck's steering. Solid Safety Every 2026 Ram 2500 comes with a solid foundation of standard safety technology, with additional systems available depending on trim. These features are designed to give drivers more confidence whether they are commuting or towing a heavy trailer. Forward Collision Warning Automatic Emergency Braking Adaptive Cruise Control Rear Backup Camera w/ Dynamic Gridlines Blind Spot Intervention Rear Cross Traffic Alert 360 Degree Camera System Driver Attention Monitor Road Sign Recognition Blind Spot Monitoring 2026 Ram 2500 Price Pricing for the 2026 Ram 2500 spans a wide range to match its equally wide range of trims and capabilities. Entry level configurations start in the mid $40,000s, whereas at the other end of the spectrum, fully loaded models can approach or exceed $90,000 once diesel power and premium options are added. Most buyers will find their ideal configuration somewhere in the middle, especially with the addition of the more affordable Black Express and Warlock trims for 2026. Price by Trim Actual pricing will depend on cab style, bed length, drivetrain, and engine choice, so shoppers should confirm current pricing and incentives. While final pricing can vary by configuration, expect the 2026 Ram 2500 lineup to fall roughly into these starting prices: Tradesman: $46,855 Black Express: $53,070 Big Horn: $50,605 Warlock: $56,400 Laramie: $62,310 Power Wagon: $73,250 Rebel: $69,755 Limited: $74,610 Limited Longhorn: $74,610 Ram Warranty Ram backs the 2026 Ram 2500 with strong warranty coverage that reflects the truck's heavy duty mission. Models equipped with the HEMI V8 come with Ram's standard powertrain limited warranty, while trucks equipped with the Cummins Turbo Diesel benefit from an extended 10 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty covering the engine and related components. This extended coverage gives buyers added peace of mind, especially those who plan to put serious miles on their truck through towing, hauling, or long distance travel.

The 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel trim has numerous upgrades available inside and out.

2023 RAM 2500 Rebel

The 2023 Ram Rebel trim offers an array of upgrades including powerful engine options, premium materials, and advanced technology. Main upgrades for the Rebel trim have to do with the interior and exterior design, and not so much having to do with performance. The 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel is for sale at Lawton Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Lawton, Ok. Ram is stepping up their heavy-duty game with the introduction of the all new 2023 Rebel trim. The Rebel trim will be available only on the Ram 2500. It will offer a variety of off-road upgrades that will have you ready to take on any terrain. You’ll be able to get your hands on the 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel by the end of 2022! In the meantime let’s take a look at what makes this truck so special. The Engine The standard engine found in the Ram 2500 Rebel is a 410-hp 6.4-liter V-8. It can otherwise be ordered with a 6.7-liter turbo-diesel inline-six engine if you’re looking for something even more powerful. This diesel engine makes 370 horsepower along with 850 pound-feet of torque, far exceeding the gasoline V-8 engine which is rated for 429 pound feet. Although either option is obviously powerful enough to get the job done, it’s just a matter of your preference. The engine options for this beast are also both perfect for towing, and the 2500 Rebel certainly won’t disappoint with its tugging capabilities. The maximum towing capacity is a whopping 16,870 pounds, and the payload rating is over 3,140 pounds. Despite this extensive towing capability, you won’t have to worry about the efficiency of your truck being compromised. The six-speed automatic is a multirange, electronically controlled transmission with optimized gear ratios. It also has responsive performance with low noise, vibration and harshness. Additionally, with the standard 6.4-liter V8 engine, the eight-speed automatic transmission offers fully electronic operation and on-the-fly shift mapping. These advanced features are not typically found in your average heavy-duty truck, hence why the 2500 Rebel stands out from the crowd. The Exterior Not only does the performance of the 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel far exceed its heavy-duty competitors, the exterior also looks better too. The Rebel has a Mopar Sport Performance Hood and a distinct grille giving it a sleek yet rugged look sure to impress any bystander. It also has massive 20-inch wheels on 33-inch off-road tires which are as functional as they are attractive. There is also an available 12,000 pound winch that mounts on the front bumper of this machine adding to its rugged appearance. The Interior On the inside of the 2500 Rebel, you’ll find a bench with a combination of Gore-Tex and mesh premium cloth or bucket seats with deluxe leather upholstery. In addition to this, a REBEL embroidery and custom black door trim will complete the look of this sporty-chic design. You might also see the optional 12.0-inch digital gauge display. It can be configured to show a variety of menus that are meant to give the driver a customized view. Whether that information may be towing, rock crawling, or stump pulling, the driver will be able to display whichever task they need at any time. These driving settings will be presented in a distinct Rebel theme. No detail has gone unnoticed in the 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel. The Tech The 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel was designed with off-roading capabilities being the primary focus. The Rebel’s limited-slip rear differential with an electronic locker prevents traction loss, optimizes engine power, and evenly distributes torque. Substantial skid plates are also incorporated into the design for added protection of the transfer case and fuel tank. There are several other high-tech integrations in the 2500 Rebel that we’re sure you’ll appreciate. The enhanced viewing range with the addition of a Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration that features an LCD monitor providing a real-time video stream from a rear-facing camera. You can park your trailer easily with the use of the Trailer Reverse Steering Control system. This system allows you to steer with the Trailer Steering knob while the system controls your truck’s steering wheel. Furthermore, with the new telescopic trailer tow mirrors, towing will be a total breeze as they extend and retract offering greater visibility, also allowing you to park in tighter spots.
