2026 Ram 2500 Adds Black Express and Warlock Trims for Bold New Look

Abu Dhabi : The 2026 Ram 2500 gets a serious boost in style with two new trims. The aim is to blend heavy-duty utility with street and off-road presence.
- There is a Black Express trim that adds urban aggression and dark styling.
- The Warlock trim offers off-road capability with lifted suspension.
- They both have standard 6.4L HEMI V8 and optional 6.7L Cummins diesel.
Ram has launched two bold new trims for the 2026 Ram 2500: the Black Express and Warlock. They designed these variants, based on the entry-level Tradesman, to appeal to buyers who want the power and practicality that comes with heavy-duty trucks but with extra attitude.
These trims, which are available for order now, are produced in Saltillo, Mexico, and they add a fresh dimension to what Ram 2500 offers, though the launch date in UAE is yet to be confirmed.
Trim Details and Equipment
The Black Express takes a street-oriented approach with a range of design enhancements that boost its presence. Some of the highlights are:
- Body-colored bumpers and blacked-out badging.
- Performance hood for aggressive styling.
- 20-inch black alloy wheels and dark side steps.
- Parking sensors for use in urban areas.
The *Warlock goes in the opposite direction as it targets the off-road crowd. It is only available in the 4x4 Crew Cab, short bed configuration and adds:
- Black bumpers, fender flares, and bold "Warlock" decals.
- Factory lift kit with Bilstein shocks.
- Hill descent control and a protective skid plate.
- Goodyear Duratrac all-terrain tires.
Performance and Drivetrain
The two trims come standard with the proven 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine that offers 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque., Ram still offers the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine, capable of producing over 1,000 lb-ft of torque, for more demanding towing needs. This engine is still a top choice for those who need extreme pulling power all over the varied terrain in UAE.
Power is delivered through a smooth-shifting transmission and what supports it is the Ram’s coil-spring rear suspension, which has been praised for providing better quality of ride compared to traditional leaf springs in rival trucks.
Interior and Colour Options
On the inside, the new trims keep things functional yet appealing. It has standard cloth upholstery as buyers can choose either carpet or all-weather mats depending on the variant.
Ram offers bold and subtle colors for the exterior, including Flame Red, Ceramic Gray, Molten Red, and the stealthy Diamond Black. With these options, buyers can personalize the truck to however they want it without sacrificing utility.
Pricing and Availability
The 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express is valued from $53,735 in the US market, while the Warlock starts at $57,165. These translate roughly to AED 197,300 and AED 209,900, respectively, although pricing and specifications in the UAE will be confirmed closer to the official regional launch.
The Ram 2500, with its new trims, offers more choice than ever. It has a balance of rugged capability and style upgrades to suit different lifestyles, be it urban users or off-road adventurers.
