It also answers critics who claim new Hurricane engines can’t last even that long. ## New 2026 Ram truck warranty The new warranty raises the current terms from 5 years and 60,000 miles to the now much longer warranty period in response to the fact most consumers are taking out 7 years loans and that didn’t sit right with Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis. “Everything is more expensive, and trucks are certainly no exception. Truck buyers are financing purchases for longer periods of time, with nearly 80 percent of new truck loans exceeding five years,” said Tim Kuniskis, CEO Ram brand. “Our customers are making a long-term investment in Ram, and with America’s Best Full-size Truck Limited Powertrain Warranty, Ram is making a stronger and longer commitment to our customers.” The limited powertrain warranty is applicable to the original owner of 2026 model-year Ram trucks and vans, including the Chassis Cab lineup, according to [Ramtrucks](). The warranty covers the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials, and axles for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Warranty offer includes retail purchases and leases to individuals and businesses, excludes fleet purchases. Ram says “America’s Best Full-size Truck Limited Powertrain Warranty is part of Ram’s commitment to 25 product announcements over the next 18 months.” This also follows Ram’s announcements of the returns of the [Hemi 5.7-liter V-8](), a return to the [NASCAR CRAFTSMAN truck series]() and a new marketing campaign. ## Our take For a long while, critics have taken aim at new truck engines powered by turbocharged engines, like the Hurricane engine in the Ram 1500, claiming that they won’t last 100,000 miles with the workload truck customers demand from them. These new engines, not exactly new since they have been in Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs for a few years now, are a first for Ram 1500 trucks, have also faced many concerns from concerned truck guys. With the longer warranty, those concerns should also be a bit tempered as well. How do those critics say now with this new warranty? Likely not as strong, but still there. It is tough for guys to change. I should know, I’m one of them. ## Related vehicle coverage - [2026 Ram 1500]() - [2026 Ram 2500]() - [2026 Ram 3500]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "New 2026 Ram truck warranty raises to 10 years, 100k miles", "datePublished": "2025-06-18T04:01:00+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-08-18T14:42:21+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/" }, "wordCount": 389, "commentCount": 0, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/rm026_073fn-copy.webp", "keywords": [ "2026 ram 1500", "2026 Ram 2500", "2026 Ram 3500" ], "articleSection": [ "Featured on Home Page", "News" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/", "name": "New 2026 Ram truck warranty raises to 10 years, 100k miles", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#website" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/#primaryimage" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/rm026_073fn-copy.webp", "datePublished": "2025-06-18T04:01:00+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-08-18T14:42:21+00:00", "description": "In a shocking move, new 2026 Ram truck warranty will now be 10 years, 100,000 miles on powertrain and out does the competition by a large measure.", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/#breadcrumb" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "ReadAction", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/" ] } ] }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "inLanguage": "en-US", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/new-2026-ram-truck-warranty-raises-to-10-years-100k-miles/#primaryimage", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/rm026_073fn-copy.webp", "contentUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/rm026_073fn-copy.webp", "width": 1200, "height": 800, "caption": "Big news from Ram trucks with a new warranty.
