Starting the New Year with a Bang Ram is kicking off 2026 in a big way by giving the 2500 Power Wagon an engine option that it always deserved. For the 2027 model year, the heavy-duty pickup is now (finally) available with a 6.7-liter Cummins High Output turbodiesel. Before you ask, yes, it comes with a tidal wave of torque. There's 1,075 lb-ft of it, to be exact, making it the torquiest in its class as Ram claims. And if that's still not enough, the big-block straight-six diesel also produces 4

The Ram ProMaster's Troubles Keep Piling Up The Ram ProMaster is having a tough year. Fresh off a federal investigation by the NHTSA for power steering failures, the popular commercial van is now facing a complicated legal battle. FiatChrysler Automobiles, operating as Stellantis North America, has been hit with a proposed 38-page class action lawsuit. Plaintiffs allege the automaker misleadingly advertised the 2022 and 2023 Ram ProMaster vans as having a new nine-speed automatic transmission. I

Stellantis’ North American subsidiary FCA US is recalling over 65,000 trucks from the Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 lines over a software error that may cause the digital instrument panel to freeze. The recall covers a total of 65,348 trucks built between August 09, 2024 and July 4, 2025, including certain 2025-2026 Ram 1500 Pickup, Ram 2500 Pickup, Ram 3500 Pickup, Ram 3500 Cab Chassis, Ram 4500 Cab Chassis and Ram 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles. Just 1% of the recalled vehicles are estimated

Ram is launching a new safety recall affecting over 72,000 2025 and 2026 model year vehicles. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, certain vehicles were fitted with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster that can intermittently go blank, taking key safety indicators down with it. This recall comes only days after another recall for airbags that could send metal fragments into the cabin. The Issue and Its Importance

Whether because automakers assumed EVs would take over or they felt their offerings were too old to keep on the market, there has been a shortage of midsize van offerings, and Ram has realized that it's a gap worth filling, reintroducing the ProMaster City for the 2027 model year after it went away in 2022. It will only go on sale around this time next year, but when it does, Ram says it won't break the bank, targeting a starting price of under $40,000 despite being built in Turkey, which may st

The history of the automotive airbag dates back to 1953, but half a century later, automakers' suppliers still haven't quite perfected it. The most infamous issue was the failure of Takata airbags, one that is still far from resolved decades after it first appeared, but other manufacturers continue to have issues with the technology, as evidenced by a new recall for certain Rampickup trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the 2019 Ram 1500, the 2019-2020 Ram 2500

To coincide with the total lunar eclipse happening on March 3, Ram has unveiled special Lunar-themed versions of the 2500 Power Wagon and 2500 Rebel heavy-duty pickup trucks. It marks a return of lunar-themed Ram trucks, with the automaker introducing something similar for the same 2500 trims in 2024. As with those, the new Lunar Edition package adds space-inspired exterior and interior design elements, while retaining the rugged capability of these pickups. Space-Themed Coloring and Trim

The Compact Gap in Ram’s Lineup With Ford and Hyundai currently the only brands competing in the compact pickup segment, speculation has grown over whether Ram might bring the Rampage to the U.S., especially given the model’s strong performance in Brazil. MoparInsider posed the question directly to Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, though his response was likely discouraging for those hoping to see the pickup offered stateside. While Kuniskis acknowledged that he would like to see the Rampage added to the U

Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence Stellantis, in partnership with America250, announced that its four American brands — Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram — will each release limited-edition models to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Part of the collaboration includes enticing incentives under the “Declaration of Deals” program. The press release did not specify which models under each marque will receive the limited A250 edition, thou

Ram's off-road lineup currently runs from the Warlock all the way up to the RHO, which starts north of $75,000 and comes with enough suspension hardware to make a Baja racer blush. That's great if the budget allows for it. But for the buyer who wants to hit a fire road on Saturday without explaining a five-figure truck package to a spouse on Sunday, the options have been thinner than they should be. The 2026 Ram 1500 BackCountry is Ram's answer to that gap, and at $2,995 over a Big Horn 4x4 Crew

There's a famous quote that says, "You don't have to be loud to be unforgettable." Well, the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX didn't get the memo, and on static display at the 2026 New York International Auto Show, the way this Bloodshot Night Edition looks in person leaves no doubt that there's a monster of an engine under the hood, an impression that sticks with you even without hearing it rumble to life. The torn-effect graphics make it look like it just left the scene of a crime, which will leave easil

Midsize Pickup Battle America's pickup market used to be dominated by full-size marques like the F-150, Ram, and Silverado. However, over the past few years, a market for smaller pickups has grown, and Ram saw the potential. Last month, the Ram Dakota was re-launched in other markets, with a potential North American entry under development. Ram is keen to capitalize on the momentum by incorporating some new accessories for the Dakota for the South American market.

Not One Truck Fits All The Ram 1500 lineup is more alive than ever with the TRX’s return. However, according to Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, the 1500 TRX isn’t meant for everyone, as other variants may better address the brand’s diverse range of customer needs. Speaking with The Drive, Kuniskis suggested that customers planning to daily drive a 1500 should skip the TRX and opt for the RHO instead. From a sales perspective, steering buyers away from the most expensive trim may sound counterintuitive. Bu

Ram started off the year with the exciting news that the 2500 Power Wagon pickup will get the option of the beastly 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output turbodiesel engine in the second half of 2026. With this change, the heavy-duty pickup gains a towering 1,075 lb-ft of torque and a maximum towing rating of nearly 20,000 pounds. There’s much to like if you need a beefy pickup that can take on just about any task, but the Cummins-equipped Power Wagon does come with one downside. The exceedingly large d

Ram’s Mystery Pickup Gets Even Louder Ram has shared another teaser video of its mysterious pickup truck following last week's preview. The latest clip still doesn't reveal the whole thing, though it adds to speculation that the model could be related to the Rumble Bee, which was a street truck offered for the 2004 and 2005 model years. A street truck is essentially a performance-oriented variant designed for pavement rather than off-road terrain. That could explain the lowered suspension seen i

Let's Get Ready to Rumble The returning Hemi V8 in the Ram 1500 may remain the sentimental favorite among enthusiasts, but a recent test by Car and Driver suggests the newer 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six outperforms it in several measurable ways. Both Hurricane variants – the 420-horsepower standard-output and the 540-horsepower high-output (HO) – were pitted against the Hemi, with the publication stating that its “test data points to an obvious winner.” In the 0-60 mph sprint, the 4

A Growing Electric Range Rover Lineup Range Rover’s electric plans are coming into focus, and the lineup is getting busier. The compact electric Evoque replacement is set for 2027, built on JLR’s new EMA platform. The full-size Range Rover Electric is also launching this year after a long wait. Now, there’s confirmation of another EV that fits between those two, and it’s arriving sooner than expected. JLR Finance Chief Richard Molyneux confirmed the news during a recent earnings call. He called

The Autoblog spy photographers are being kept very busy as automakers across the pond put their upcoming vehicles through grueling winter tests, and their latest sighting shows that the fifth-generation L460 Range Rover is finally getting an update. The luxury SUV has been around since 2022, and ahead of the facelift's launch (expected for the 2027 model year), the Range Rover's latest iteration will be adorned with a new look for the front end. Subtle revisions are also expected at the rear, bu

JaguarLand Rover (JLR) is dealing with yet another disruption, this time at the heart of its UK production network. A supply chain issue has forced the automaker to pause output at one of its most important production hubs, temporarily pressing pause on some of its most important. While the stoppage is expected to be short-lived, it once again highlights how even premium manufacturers remain vulnerable to the smallest hiccup in the chain. Solihull Shutdown Hits Key Models

From Stormer to Sport The Range Rover Sport was a bit of a surprise when it was first revealed in 2005 for the 2026 model year. It was the first model extension of the Range Rover family, and was actually a bit of a gamble for Land Rover at the time. Well, it's safe to say that it paid off, as the Range Rover, er, range is as wide as ever. But it all began with the Range Stormer Concept from 2004. It was actually Land Rover's first-ever concept vehicle, and its positive reception eventually led
