While there are so many rugged heavy-duty trucks to choose from, no two are created the same. In fact, we’ve seen many key distinctions between the RAM 2500 vs. GMC 2500. Max Curnow Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM shares all the details in this heavy-duty matchup.
Diesel Strength
These robust trucks are both undeniably strong. However, the diesel strength of the 2026 RAM 2500 is unmatched. It uses an available high-output 6.7-liter Cummins® turbo diesel six-cylinder engine to deliver up to 430 horsepower and a best-in-class 1,075 lb-ft of torque. The GMC 2500 produces up to 470 horsepower, but it falls short with just 975 lb-ft of torque.
Off-Road Capabilities
You can adventure off-road with ease with either of these heavy-duty trucks. However, you’ll get a multitude of features with the 2026 RAM 2500 that you won’t find in the GMC 2500. For example, the RAM 2500 Power Wagon® has a class-exclusive electronic front sway bar disconnect, providing greater articulation, and a front (class-exclusive) and rear electronic locking differential, giving you the traction you need.
Pioneering Technology
You’ll also have next-level technology in the RAM truck. It offers an available expansive 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, which is the largest screen available in its class. It features the Uconnect® 5 NAV system and wireless smartphone integration. The GMC truck is also available with wireless smartphone integration, although its screen is only 13.4 inches.
