Cedar City Ram – Does the 2026 Ram 2500’s High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Make a Difference for Towing around Santa Clara, UT?
If you’re asking the question of if the 2026 Ram 2500’s available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel really makes a difference for towing, the short answer is that torque matters, especially when your plans include mountain grades, desert crosswinds, and long stretches with a heavy trailer. The 2026 Ram 2500’s available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 pairs with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic to deliver up to 1,075 lb-ft of Best-in-Class available base diesel torque. That number translates into real-world advantages you can feel at the hitch: easier launches, more consistent speed on climbs, and better authority when merging with traffic while towing.
But the engine is only part of the story. Confidence comes from visibility, control, and information. Available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and the available Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration help you keep tabs on the left and right sides of your trailer, while the available wired Tow Mode Camera checks what’s happening directly behind. Add available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, and you can guide the trailer’s path with a dedicated knob while the system steers the truck, lowering the stress of backing into campsites, storage bays, or tight driveways.
- Torque where it counts: Up to 1,075 lb-ft helps sustain momentum on grades and eases low-speed maneuvering with heavy loads.
- Smoother shifting: The TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic’s intuitive software delivers seamless gear changes under load.
- Braking support: Heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes and the available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake help manage descents.
- Trailer awareness: Available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, Trailer Tow Pages, and available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring deliver data and perspective.
- Hitching efficiency: Available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package simplifies heavy-duty connection and leaves the bed ready for work.
Inside, the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV brings tow-specific navigation into focus, while the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display keeps Trailer Tow Pages and crucial readouts in your line of sight. Wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone® and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help keep distractions low and information accessible. And if your tow day stretches into dusk, available LED headlamps, LED fog lamps, and bed lighting provide clarity where you need it most.
