2026 Ram 2500 Trims: Black Express vs. Warlock
If you’re shopping for a heavy-duty truck in Willoughby and want to stand out from the sea of silver and chrome, Ram’s got two bold takes on tough: the street-savvy 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express and the off-road-ready 2026 Ram 2500 Warlock. They both ride on the tried-and-true Tradesman foundation, but each one has a distinct personality, and trust us—neither is trying to blend in. So, what makes these Ram trucks so unique?
The 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express
The 2026 Ram 2500 Black Express doesn’t hide its edge. Designed to make a statement on Cleveland pavement, it adds blackout styling and muscle-car attitude to the sturdy Tradesman build. Highlights include:
- Sport performance hood and body-color grille and bumpers.
- 20-inch black wheels and black cab-length side steps.
- Crew Cab layout with short or long bed options.
- Your pick of the 6.4L HEMI V8 or 6.7L Cummins HO Turbo Diesel.
- ParkSense front and rear sensors, plus available 12-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen.
- Power convex trailer tow mirrors and a cabin that feels more refined than the base model.
The ride is smooth and confident, plus it’s just heavy enough to remind you there’s serious power under your right foot. If you want a truck that hauls during the week and turns heads on the weekend, the Black Express will never disappoint.
The 2026 Ram 2500 Warlock
The Warlock trim brings trail gear and factory upgrades that make off-roading feel effortless—without stretching into Power Wagon price territory. This one’s for drivers who want their truck to look like it plays hard and actually can. Built exclusively as a Crew Cab 4x4, the Warlock adds some seriously impressive gear, like:
- A 1-inch factory lift and Bilstein shocks.
- Skid plates, Hill Descent Control, and anti-spin rear differential.
- 34-inch Goodyear DuraTrac all-terrain tires on 20-inch wheels.
- A cloth bench seat with all-weather floor mats.
- The same HEMI or Cummins diesel options, both backed by standard 4WD.
It’s trail-ready the moment you drive off the lot—and the styling, with fender flares and blackout badging, lets everyone know it.
