When you're shopping for a truck, the sticker price tells only part of the story. Financing a Ram pickup or commercial van means making a commitment that often stretches well beyond five years. Ram has responded with a warranty program designed to match that timeline.

Starting with 2026 model-year vehicles, Ram now provides a 10-year/160,000-kilometre limited powertrain warranty on eligible trucks and vans sold in Canada. This coverage applies to the Ram 1500 (including RHO), Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ram Chassis Cab models, and ProMaster vans, excluding full battery-electric options.

What Does the Warranty Cover?

The 10-year/160,000-kilometre term protects the core drivetrain components that keep your truck moving. Covered parts include the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials, and axles. Whichever limit arrives first--10 years or 160,000 kilometres--marks the end of coverage.

This warranty applies exclusively to the original retail purchaser or lessee. It's non-transferable, which means subsequent owners won't inherit the full term. The program includes both individual and business purchases or leases, but fleet transactions are handled separately.

Why Ram Extended the Coverage

According to Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, nearly 80 percent of truck loans now run longer than five years. Vehicle prices have climbed, and buyers are stretching payments across longer periods to manage monthly costs. That creates a gap: traditional powertrain warranties end while many owners are still making payments.

Ram's extended coverage aligns warranty protection with the realities of modern truck financing. Whether you're navigating Moncton winters or hauling equipment across New Brunswick, the extended term provides reassurance during the years when major repairs would otherwise fall outside manufacturer support.

How This Compares to Fleet Coverage

For commercial operators, Ram offers a separate 5-year/160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty on 2026 model-year fleet purchases. Business buyers working with trucks and vans under demanding conditions receive enhanced protection tailored to high-mileage use.

This dual approach recognizes that retail and fleet customers face different service needs. Both programs aim to reduce unexpected repair costs during the ownership period that matters most.

Cross-Border Coverage Update

Ram has also expanded CanAm Warranty eligibility for 2026 model-year retail units. If you purchase a Ram in Canada and later move to the United States, your warranty can continue--provided the vehicle has been in service for more than six months and 15,000 kilometres before export.

This change benefits Canadians who relocate or work on both sides of the border. All 2024 model-year and newer retail and fleet vehicles now include CanAm coverage.

What to Know Before You Buy

To qualify for the 10-year/160,000-kilometre warranty, you must purchase or lease a new, previously unregistered 2026 Ram vehicle from an authorized Ram dealership in Canada. Full battery-electric models are excluded from this specific program.

The warranty covers repairs and parts related to the powertrain components listed above. Regular maintenance requirements still apply, and certain conditions can affect coverage. Review the complete warranty documentation at the time of purchase to understand what's included and what falls outside the scope.

How to Take Advantage of This Coverage

If you're considering a Ram truck or van, this warranty offers meaningful protection during the ownership period when most buyers are still paying off their loan. The 10-year term outlasts typical financing arrangements, which can reduce the financial risk of major drivetrain repairs.

For Moncton drivers who depend on their vehicles for work or family needs, extended powertrain coverage removes one layer of uncertainty. Whether you're hauling construction materials or managing a fleet of ProMaster vans, knowing that the engine and transmission are protected for a full decade provides practical peace of mind.
