Core Safety Features — Standard Across All Trims
Every 2026 Ram 2500 includes a comprehensive safety foundation. All four trims feature front-impact airbags for driver and passenger, seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and curtain airbags covering the first and second rows. Seatbelt pre-tensioners and height-adjustable front seatbelts add another layer of protection in a collision.
Electronic stability control with anti-rollover technology is standard, helping you maintain control on slippery roads or uneven terrain. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake assist provide confident stopping power under heavy loads. ParkSense front and rear parking sensors are standard on all trims, simplifying tight parking and trailer hookups.
LED low and high beam headlights, daytime running lights, and automatic on/off headlights improve visibility in all conditions. Remote keyless entry, panic alarm, and a Sentry Key immobilizer protect the truck when it’s parked.
Technology and Connectivity
All trims feature push-button start and remote access to vehicle status, diagnostics, and location tracking through the Uconnect app — especially useful for fleet management or keeping tabs on maintenance schedules.
The Limited and Limited Longhorn add proximity key access for the doors and remote start. The Rebel and Power Wagon require pressing the unlock button on the fob. Automatic climate control is standard across the board.
Rebel
The Rebel is built for off-road capability, and its safety and tech features reflect that focus. On top of the core safety systems, the Rebel includes Bilstein gas-pressurized front shocks and off-road suspension tuning for better control on rough terrain. LED brakelights are standard, and cab clearance lights help you gauge the truck’s width in tight spaces or on challenging trails.
Illuminated entry and delay-off headlamps make loading gear in low light straightforward.
Power Wagon
The Power Wagon builds on the Rebel’s off-road focus with the addition of TruLok mechanical locking front and rear differentials for maximum traction in extreme conditions. The same Bilstein front shocks and off-road suspension carry over, along with all core safety and tech features.
Cab clearance lights and the full airbag suite, stability control, and parking sensors are all standard. For buyers who need a truck that can handle deep mud, steep inclines, and heavy towing, the Power Wagon delivers the systems to match.
Limited
The Limited shifts the focus toward refinement and convenience. Proximity key door access and remote start are added, so you can unlock and warm up the truck without pressing a button — practical on cold Manitoba mornings. HD gas-pressurized front shocks replace the Bilstein units, tuned for regular duty and highway towing rather than off-road use.
All core safety features, LED lighting, and ParkSense sensors remain standard alongside the full airbag suite and stability control.
Limited Longhorn
The Limited Longhorn is the top-tier trim, matching the Limited’s safety and tech features with additional refinements in interior materials and comfort. Proximity key access, remote start, and HD suspension tuning are all standard. Every core safety system — airbags, stability control, parking sensors, LED lighting — carries over from the base lineup.
The Longhorn is designed for buyers who want heavy-duty capability, refined materials, and the technology to make every long-haul drive easier.
