The 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express and Warlock models make a bold entrance into the heavy-duty truck world, offering two unique takes on sport truck design. These trucks deliver aggressive style, off-road readiness, and excellent value, continuing Ram’s legacy of pushing the sport truck envelope.
Distinct Looks, Built for Purpose
Ram knows that style matters, and both the Black Express and Warlock deliver it in spades. The Black Express brings a monochromatic appearance with body-color bumpers, a sport performance hood, and gloss black 20-inch wheels. For added attitude, it includes black side steps and exclusive Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors.
Meanwhile, the Warlock goes for a tougher stance. Black fender flares, bumpers, and a bold Warlock decal on the bed add visual punch. Its 20-inch diamond-cut wheels are wrapped in 34-inch Goodyear Duratrac all-terrain tires, perfect for drivers who crave off-road adventures.
Serious V8 and Diesel Power Options
Buyers of the 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express and Warlock can choose from two mighty engines. The standard 6.4-liter HEMI V8 delivers 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, plenty for towing, hauling, or just commanding the road.
For even more muscle, Ram offers the available 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output Turbo Diesel. It’s a class leader with 430 horsepower and a jaw-dropping 1,075 lb-ft of torque. Both engines pair with the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission.
Ride Comfort and Off-Road Control
These heavy-duty trucks ride with surprising refinement thanks to Ram’s exclusive link-coil rear suspension. The Warlock also receives off-road tuning courtesy of Bilstein shocks, a transfer case skid plate, anti-spin rear differential, and hill descent control.
Whether on the trail or the highway, these setups ensure stability, comfort, and confidence behind the wheel. ParkSense sensors and trailer-friendly features offer added utility for everyday use or weekend getaways.
Interior Details and Customization
Inside, both models feature cloth bench seats and carpeted interiors, with the Warlock adding all-weather floor mats for added ruggedness. Color choices include striking hues like Flame Red, Forged Blue, Ceramic Grey, and the stealthy Diamond Black.
Ram gives buyers solid starting points with pricing that reflects serious value. The Black Express package starts at $53,735, while the Warlock begins at $57,165, both including destination.
Sport Truck Legacy Continues
The 2026 Warlock marks its first-ever appearance in the heavy-duty lineup. First introduced in the 1970s and revived in 2019 on the Ram 1500 Classic, the Warlock now blends that retro spirit with modern HD performance.
These new additions also expand Ram’s already robust sport truck portfolio, which includes models like the Ram 1500 Rebel, RHO, and Power Wagon.
Summary
The 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express and Warlock prove that heavy-duty trucks can be stylish, capable, and packed with personality. Whether you want custom street appeal or rugged off-road prowess, these models hit the mark with powerful engines, striking design, and smart features.
