Ram Extends Powertrain Warranty to 10 Years - Here's What's Covered

When you invest in a full-size truck, you're making an investment decision that often extends well beyond the typical loan period. Ram understands this reality and has responded with a warranty program that matches the way Canadians actually use their trucks. The 2026 Ram lineup now comes with a 10-year/160,000-kilometre limited powertrain warranty - the strongest coverage available on any full-size truck sold in Canada.

This warranty applies to every 2026 Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ram Chassis Cab, and Ram ProMaster van purchased or leased from an authorized Ram dealership. It covers the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials, and axles for the full duration, giving you confidence that your truck is protected for the long haul.

Why Ram Extended Its Powertrain Warranty

Truck ownership has evolved. Nearly 80% of new truck loans now exceed five years, and many drivers keep their vehicles for a decade or more. Ram recognized that traditional warranty periods no longer aligned with how customers use their trucks, especially those who depend on them for work or towing heavy loads across Saskatchewan's highways and rural roads.

The 10-year/160,000-kilometre coverage reflects Ram's confidence in the durability of its powertrains. Whether you're hauling equipment, towing a trailer, or using your truck for daily transportation, this warranty ensures that the most critical mechanical components remain protected well beyond the standard coverage period offered by competitors.

What the Warranty Covers

The limited powertrain warranty protects the core mechanical systems that keep your Ram truck moving:

• Engine: Complete coverage for all internal engine components
• Transmission: Full protection for the transmission assembly
• Transfer Case: Coverage for 4WD and AWD transfer case systems
• Driveshafts: Protection for driveline components
• Differentials and Axles: Coverage for front and rear axle assemblies

This comprehensive coverage applies whether you purchase or lease your 2026 Ram. The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original retail purchaser or lessee, except where required by law. It includes both retail purchases and leases to individuals and businesses, though fleet purchases follow a separate warranty structure.

Additional Warranty Coverage

Beyond the powertrain warranty, 2026 Ram trucks come with a complete warranty package:

• Basic Warranty: 3 years/60,000 kilometres
• Corrosion Perforation: 5 years/160,000 kilometres
• Roadside Assistance: 5 years/100,000 kilometres

The combination of these coverage periods ensures that you have support across multiple aspects of vehicle ownership, from routine concerns to major mechanical protection.

Fleet and Cross-Border Coverage

Ram also introduced a new 5-year/160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty for Canadian fleet customers purchasing 2026 model-year vehicles. This gives business owners enhanced protection for their commercial truck operations, recognizing that work trucks often accumulate kilometres faster than personal vehicles.

For drivers who move between Canada and the United States, Ram expanded its CanAm Warranty coverage to all 2026 model-year retail units. This coverage allows warranty service to continue if a vehicle is exported to the U.S. after more than six months and 15,000 kilometres of service in Canada. All 2024 model-year and forward vehicles now include this cross-border protection.

Which Ram Models Qualify

The 10-year/160,000-kilometre limited powertrain warranty is available on the following new and previously unregistered 2026 Ram vehicles:

• Ram 1500 (including the high-performance Ram RHO)
• Ram 2500 (including Power Wagon)
• Ram 3500
• Ram Chassis Cab 3500/4500/5500
• Ram ProMaster Van

The warranty excludes full battery-electric vehicles, which follow a different coverage structure for their electric powertrains.

Why This Matters for Saskatchewan Drivers

Drivers in Saskatchewan put serious demands on their trucks. Whether you're navigating winter roads, hauling agricultural equipment, or towing recreational vehicles across long distances, your truck needs to perform reliably year after year. The extended powertrain warranty gives you protection that Ram stands behind its vehicles for the entire time you're likely to own them.

This warranty also protects your investment. A truck with comprehensive powertrain coverage maintains stronger resale value and gives future owners confidence in the vehicle's mechanical integrity, even if the warranty itself is non-transferable.

Ram's Focus on Quality

The introduction of Canada's best full-size truck limited powertrain warranty is part of Ram's broader focus on product innovation. The brand has announced 25 product updates over the next 18 months, signaling continued investment in truck technology, capability, and customer satisfaction.

By extending warranty coverage to match real-world ownership patterns, Ram demonstrates confidence in the engineering and build quality of its trucks. This isn't just a marketing initiative - it's a statement about durability and long-term reliability.
