What Makes the Ram 2500HD Ride Better Than Other Heavy Duties?
The Ram 2500HD uses a link-coil rear suspension instead of a traditional leaf-spring setup. This isolates axle hop and reduces harshness on frost-heaved highways like Highway 22 or gravel roads. It keeps the truck planted whether running empty or towing through Calgary traffic.
What Warranty Coverage Comes With the 2026 Ram 2500HD?
Every 2026 Ram 2500HD sold in Canada includes a 10-year or 160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty--double the industry standard. It also features a 36-month/60,000 km basic warranty and 5-year roadside assistance.
