The modern truck market rewards a balance of cabin comfort, refined engineering, and genuine work capability. Whether you’re hauling cargo to a commercial job site or heading toward the San Gabriel Mountains for the weekend, the current Ram lineup offers a configuration for nearly every demand. From the light-duty Ram 1500 to the heavy-duty Ram 2500 and 3500, plus the adaptable ProMaster cargo van, these vehicles are built for the realities of Southern California driving.
At Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram of Ontario, we stock a broad selection of these trucks and vans so drivers across Ontario, Corona, Norco, Claremont, West Covina, and Riverside can find the right match for personal or business use. Choosing a truck means weighing towing limits, payload ratings, and cab configurations — and our team is here to walk you through the specs. To talk with a truck specialist or ask about specific arrivals, call us at 909-757-0698. You can also browse our new-vehicle inventory online to see what’s on our lot or in transit.
The light-duty and commercial segments have seen a major powertrain evolution focused on torque and efficiency. For 2026, the Ram 1500 offers four distinct engines — including the return of a fan favorite.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 w/ eTorque | 305 hp | 269 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
| 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 (Standard Output) | 420 hp | 469 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
| 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 (High Output) | 540 hp | 521 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
| 5.7L HEMI V8 w/ eTorque | 395 hp | 410 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
A few highlights worth knowing as you shop:
| Capability | Maximum (properly equipped) | Engine |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Towing | Up to 11,610 lbs | 3.0L Hurricane I6 (Standard Output) |
| Maximum Payload | Up to 2,360 lbs | 3.6L Pentastar V6 |
On the commercial side, the ProMaster runs a dedicated front-wheel-drive powertrain built for stop-and-go duty cycles:
| Specification | Ram ProMaster |
|---|---|
| Engine | 3.6L Pentastar V6 |
| Horsepower | 276 hp |
| Torque | 250 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 9-speed automatic |
| Drivetrain | Front-wheel drive |
Routing power to the front wheels eliminates the driveshaft and rear differential, which allows a lower cargo floor — making loading and unloading noticeably easier and maximizing interior cargo height.
When the job exceeds what a light-duty truck can handle, the Ram 2500 and 3500 step in with commercial-grade powertrains built for high-payload hauling, heavy equipment transport, and demanding work like pulling trailers through the equestrian properties around Norco.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.4L HEMI V8 (standard) | 405 hp | 429 lb-ft | TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic |
| 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 (High Output, available) | 430 hp | 1,075 lb-ft | TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic |
For businesses that need a cab-and-chassis platform, the Ram Chassis Cab is available in the following configurations for dump bodies, service beds, stake beds, and crane upfits:
A new truck is a major investment, so warranty coverage matters. For 2026, Ram raised the bar with the longest powertrain warranty in the full-size truck segment.

| Basic Limited (bumper-to-bumper) | 3 years / 36,000 miles |
| Rust-Through / Anti-Corrosion Perforation | 5 years / unlimited miles |
| 24/7 Roadside Assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
| eTorque Mild-Hybrid Components | 8 years / 80,000 miles |
Key points for buyers:
This information is provided for general educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Warranty coverage depends on the specific terms of your vehicle’s warranty agreement. Consult your owner’s manual or a qualified legal professional for guidance on your individual situation.

Starting MSRPs vary by model, cab, and trim. As a general guide:
| Model | Starting MSRP |
|---|---|
| Ram 1500 | Starting at $42,400 MSRP |
| Ram 2500 | Starting at $45,995 MSRP |
| Ram 3500 | Starting at $47,195 MSRP |
| Ram ProMaster | Starting at $45,325 MSRP |
Diesel engines, dual-rear-wheel setups, and higher trims add to those figures. Check our current inventory for live pricing on vehicles in stock.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
The standard 3-year/36,000-mile basic and the powertrain limited warranties apply to vehicles used for commercial purposes. Certain wear items and third-party upfits installed after purchase are not covered under the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
Routing power to the front wheels eliminates the driveshaft and rear differential. This lets the rear cargo floor sit much closer to the ground, reducing step-in height, maximizing interior cargo height, and improving traction when the van is unladen.
When properly equipped with the Standard Output 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo I6, the Ram 1500 tows up to 11,610 pounds. Maximum payload reaches up to 2,360 pounds depending on cab and bed configuration.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Selecting the right truck means comparing engine outputs, towing capacities, and how the vehicle fits your daily driving. Whether you need an efficient light-duty 1500 for the commute in West Covina, a Cummins-powered heavy-duty for serious trailering, or a fleet of upfit ProMaster vans, our team is focused on a transparent, informative buying experience.
