10-Year/160,000 km Coverage: Ram Sets New Warranty Standard
![r m026 097 f n]()
When you invest in a truck, you're making an assurance that extends far beyond the initial purchase. With nearly 80% of truck buyers financing their vehicles for more than five years, long-term reliability and manufacturer support have never been more important. Ram understands this reality and has responded with Canada's most comprehensive full-size truck limited powertrain warranty - a bold statement of confidence in their engineering and a genuine pledge to standing behind every vehicle they build.
The 2026 model year marks a turning point for Ram owners across the country. Every new Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ram Chassis Cab, and ProMaster Van now comes with a 10-year/160,000-kilometre limited powertrain warranty - the strongest coverage in the segment. This is a complete reimagining of what warranty protection should look like in an era where trucks are expected to perform flawlessly for a decade or more.
What the 10-Year/160,000 km Warranty Covers
Ram's new limited powertrain warranty provides comprehensive protection for the most critical components of your truck. The coverage includes:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Transfer case
- Driveshafts
- Differentials
- Axles
This warranty applies for 10 years or 160,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. It's available exclusively to customers who purchase or lease any new and previously unregistered 2026 Ram vehicle from an authorized Ram dealership. The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original retail purchaser or lessee, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
Eligible Vehicles and Models
The 10-year/160,000-kilometre limited powertrain warranty covers the complete lineup of 2026 Ram trucks and vans. Whether you're choosing a light-duty daily driver or a heavy-duty workhorse, Ram's dedication to long-term reliability remains consistent.
Ram 1500 Series
The Ram 1500 lineup, including the high-performance Ram 1500 RHO, is fully covered under the new warranty. This means drivers who choose the refined ride quality and advanced technology of the 1500 can do so with complete confidence in their investment.
Ram Heavy-Duty Series
Both the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 benefit from the extended warranty coverage. These heavy-duty trucks are built for demanding work, and the 10-year protection ensures they'll continue performing at peak capability long after the initial purchase. Every trim level - from Big Horn to Limited Longhorn - receives the same comprehensive coverage.
Ram Chassis Cab
The Ram Chassis Cab 3500, 4500, and 5500 models are included in the warranty program. These purpose-built commercial platforms serve as the foundation for countless upfitting applications, and the extended powertrain warranty gives fleet operators and business owners added peace of mind.
Ram ProMaster Van
The ProMaster Van lineup joins the warranty program, offering commercial users the same 10-year/160,000-kilometre protection. This coverage applies to all ProMaster models excluding full battery-electric vehicles.
Additional Warranty Coverage for Fleet and Cross-Border Customers
Ram has expanded warranty offerings beyond the standard retail program to serve specialized customer needs. Fleet operators now have access to a new 5-year/160,000-kilometre powertrain coverage specifically designed for 2026 model year vehicles. This dedicated fleet warranty provides business owners with enhanced protection for their commercial truck and van operations.
Cross-border consumers benefit from expanded CanAm Warranty coverage on all 2026 model year retail units. This coverage provides eligibility for continued warranty protection if a vehicle is exported to the United States following more than six months and 15,000 kilometres in service in Canada. All 2024 model year and forward retail and fleet vehicles now include CanAm warranty coverage.

Why Warranty Length Matters More Than Ever
The automotive landscape has shifted dramatically over the past decade. Financing terms have extended, vehicle prices have increased, and drivers are keeping their trucks longer than ever before. Ram's 10-year/160,000-kilometre warranty directly addresses these market realities.
When you finance a truck over six, seven, or even eight years, traditional warranty coverage expires long before your final payment. This gap creates uncertainty and potential financial risk. Ram's extended warranty eliminates that concern, ensuring your powertrain remains protected throughout the entire ownership experience - whether you're making payments or driving a paid-off truck.
The warranty also reflects Ram's confidence in their engineering and manufacturing quality. A 10-year assurance isn't made lightly. It requires rigorous testing, proven durability, and a genuine belief that these trucks will perform reliably for the long term. Ram has backed up their reputation with a warranty that puts their money where their engineering is.
What This Means for Drivers in Alberta
Drivers across the province face demanding conditions that put trucks to the test. Extreme temperature swings, rough terrain, and heavy workloads all contribute to accelerated wear on critical components. Ram's extended powertrain warranty provides assurance that your truck will handle these challenges without leaving you exposed to unexpected repair costs.
The 160,000-kilometre coverage threshold is particularly meaningful for drivers who rack up high mileage. Whether you're commuting long distances, hauling equipment to remote job sites, or towing trailers across the province, you'll likely reach six-figure odometer readings well before the 10-year mark. Ram's warranty keeps pace with your driving reality, not an idealized low-mileage scenario.
Experience Ram's Warranty Protection
Ram's introduction of Canada's best full-size truck limited powertrain warranty marks a fundamental shift in how manufacturers support their customers over the long term. The 10-year/160,000-kilometre protection gives drivers the confidence to choose Ram knowing their investment is protected throughout the entire ownership experience.
