Choose the powertrain around the job
For a McKinney work truck, start with what the trailer weighs loaded and how often you pull it. Then compare purchase price, maintenance and the carrying allowance of the actual trucks.
| 2026 specification | 6.4L HEMI V8 | Available high-output 6.7L Cummins diesel |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower | 405 hp | 430 hp |
| Torque | 429 lb-ft | 1,075 lb-ft |
| Maximum towing | 17,750 lb | 20,000 lb |
| Purchase comparison | Price the required cab, bed and towing equipment. | Price the same essential equipment plus diesel-specific ownership costs. |
Manufacturer maximums for properly equipped 2026 configurations. Towing and payload maximums are separate figures; they are not all achieved by one truck. Added equipment, occupants and cargo affect usable capacity.
You want to examine purchase cost and carrying capacity for your normal mix of local driving and loaded work. Price it with the same cab, bed and hitch equipment as the diesel rather than comparing two very different builds.
Loaded towing is central to your use. Evaluate the extra torque alongside actual truck ratings, fuel assumptions, scheduled maintenance and diesel exhaust fluid requirements. A diesel badge alone does not establish the better payload.
Shopping 2026 and 2027?
| Published maximum | 2026 | 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Gas payload | Check the truck’s load label and payload equipment | Up to 4,580 lb with Payload Upgrade Package |
| Diesel payload | 3,600 lb | 3,600 lb |
| Diesel towing | 20,000 lb | 20,000 lb |
For a toolbox-heavy build, compare payload packages and actual load labels on both model years. For a diesel, compare its individual load label and installed equipment. A model-year announcement does not confirm Bonham stock.
Factory references checked October 28, 2026. These are separate configuration maximums. The trim and image examples below primarily describe 2026 vehicles; verify 2027 equipment independently.
What earns the upgrade?
Choose the work configuration first, then pay for the cabin, appearance or off-road equipment you value. These are buying starting points, not a promise that every truck includes every feature.
2026 equipment comparison; pictured year and reference equipment are identified in this card.
What you gain: Available Level 1 equipment can add cloth seating, park assist and jobsite convenience; verify the installed group.
Spend the budget on the cab, bed and working equipment you need. Ask which comforts are included on the actual window sticker.
Compare next: Compare Big Horn / Lone Star with a similarly equipped work build.
2026 equipment comparison; pictured year and reference equipment are identified in this card.
What you gain: The documented 2026 Level 1 Plus group adds navigation and daily convenience equipment; it is a package, not every truck’s standard specification.
Compare installed equipment and seat fit against Laramie using the same engine, cab and bed. The photograph shows a 2027 Big Horn reference vehicle.
Compare next: Compare Laramie for the leather-trimmed cabin.

2026 equipment comparison; pictured year and reference equipment are identified in this card.
What you gain: Leather-trimmed seating provides a different cabin comparison from a cloth-equipped work truck.
Try the seats, controls and storage with your usual passengers. Confirm fitted screen, audio and comfort options separately.
Compare next: Compare Limited Longhorn for its Southwestern interior style.

2026 equipment comparison; pictured year and reference equipment are identified in this card.
What you gain: Bilstein shocks and available Cummins power create a distinct rough-road comparison.
Check tires, protection equipment and the actual load label for your use. An off-road trim is not automatically the highest-towing truck.
Compare next: Compare Warlock for a simpler equipment balance or Power Wagon for specialized trail hardware.

What you gain: Locking differentials and a front sway-bar disconnect address trail use.2026 gas and 2027 diesel builds are separate configurations.
Check load ratings independently of Rebel. The reference photograph shows factory preproduction diesel imagery; it does not establish a 2026 diesel specification.
Compare next: Compare Rebel for a different balance of access-road use and carrying needs.

2026 equipment comparison; pictured year and reference equipment are identified in this card.
What you gain: Bison-brown leather trim and filigree detailing distinguish the documented 2026 interior.

2026 equipment comparison; pictured year and reference equipment are identified in this card.
What you gain: Leather, wood and aluminum give Limited a different cabin character.
Try the actual seats, controls and optional displays before pricing the upgrade. Passengers and accessories still count against payload.
Compare next: Compare Limited Longhorn for interior style, or Laramie for a lower cabin step.

2026 equipment comparison; pictured year and reference equipment are identified in this card.
What you gain: Black accents,20-inch black wheels and a sport-performance hood distinguish the 2026 edition.
Choose the appearance only after seating, working configuration and fitted convenience equipment satisfy the job.
Compare next: Compare an equipped Tradesman before paying for appearance changes.

2026 equipment comparison; pictured year and reference equipment are identified in this card.
What you gain: All-terrain tires, Bilstein shocks, limited-slip differential and transfer-case protection distinguish the documented 2026 edition.
Compare the hardware you will use on access roads and ordinary pavement. Its name does not establish the selected truck’s load rating.
Compare next: Compare Rebel and Power Wagon for their different off-road and cabin packages.
One 2026 Tradesman example, stock B190850, lists a Cummins diesel, Tradesman Level 1 Equipment Group, a 12-inch Uconnect navigation display and fifth-wheel/gooseneck preparation. It illustrates why the trim badge alone does not tell you the equipment. Compare the actual sticker and load label before choosing your truck.
Inventory-record example checked October 28, 2026; not an availability or payload guarantee. Check current availability through the matching inventory page or the Bonham team.
Images combine Bonham inventory examples and factory photography, including a preproduction diesel Power Wagon. The Big Horn photo shows a 2027 truck. Actual colors, options and availability vary. Black Express and Warlock are listed separately as editions. Confirm every selected vehicle’s model year and window sticker.
| Configuration | Factory equipment examples | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Tradesman Level 1 | Cloth bench; 400-watt inverter; rear antispin differential; park assist | A work-trim build can include useful comfort and jobsite equipment. |
| Big Horn/Lone Star Level 1 Plus | Remote start; bedliner; bed step; dual-zone climate control; 12-inch navigation display | Price the convenience package against the next trim before upgrading. |
| Rebel vs. Power Wagon | Rebel: Bilstein shocks and available diesel. Power Wagon: sway-bar disconnect and locking differentials. | Match the off-road hardware to access roads and trail use, then check load ratings. |
| Laramie vs. premium cabins | Laramie: leather trim. Longhorn: Southwestern stitching. Limited: wood/aluminum accents. | Compare seat fit and installed technology with the same work requirements. |
A separate model-year comparison
These 2027 photographs and equipment comparisons are separate from the 2026 cards. They cover five documented examples, not the complete lineup. RAM also lists Big Horn, Black Express, Warlock and Power Wagon; verify each selected build’s standard equipment, options and availability.
For 2027, RAM adds the available high-output Cummins diesel to Power Wagon. Do not transfer that powertrain claim to a 2026 Power Wagon. Reference photographs show factory examples, not confirmed Bonham stock.

2027 factory reference photograph; confirm the selected VIN, colors and fitted options.
What you gain: Specify the cab, bed, engine and installed work equipment before upgrading the cabin. Available onboard power must be confirmed on the build.
Ask for the actual payload label and work-equipment list. An optional inverter or photographed trailer is not standard equipment on every truck.

The load decides
A tow-rating headline is only the beginning. Passengers, tools, hitch hardware and the trailer’s tongue or pin weight all use the truck’s payload allowance.
| Load calculation | Weight |
|---|---|
| Example truck’s load label | 3,000 lb |
| Occupants | −600 lb |
| Tools and bed cargo | −250 lb |
| Hitch hardware | −150 lb |
| Remaining for trailer tongue or pin load | 2,000 lb |
A trailer imposing 2,400 pounds of loaded pin weight would exceed this example’s remaining payload by 400 pounds—even if its total trailer weight were below the advertised towing maximum. Compare a suitable RAM 3500 when the selected 2500 cannot cover the complete load.
Use loaded scale weights where available. Check gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), axle ratings (GAWR), gross combined weight rating (GCWR), tires, hitch and the applicable towing chart together. Leveling the truck does not increase these ratings.
Include animals, feed, tack, tools and passengers. Use the actual loaded trailer and its tongue or pin load. The empty-trailer specification leaves out much of the working load.
Count a toolbox, rack, auxiliary equipment and regularly carried materials. Compare the installed hitch and electrical connections before choosing the final cabin package.
For a Lake Texoma outing, include the boat, trailer, fuel, batteries, gear and passengers. If using a public ramp, confirm its current access conditions separately from the truck’s towing requirements.
People · cargo · clearance
Test the actual seating with your crew or family. Compare rear-seat comfort and secure storage; Mega Cab offers reclining and fold-flat rear seating. Check the available configuration rather than assuming every trim offers every cab.
Measure equipment and parking space. For a fifth-wheel, review trailer-to-cab and bed-rail clearance with the hitch manufacturer’s guidance. Bed length is part of the configuration, not an afterthought.
Compare hitch preparation, mirrors, cameras and trailer connections on the exact VIN. A prep package and the final hitch installation are distinct items to confirm in the quote.
Build your purchase plan
Start with VIN, mileage, condition and photos. A preliminary estimate is subject to appraisal. Confirm payoff information through the team’s secure process.
Start a trade valuationUse the same down payment and term across trucks. Review APR, amount financed and total cost alongside the monthly payment. Financing is subject to lender approval.
Explore payment estimatesDiscuss configuration and order availability. Document the price, deposit terms, eligible programs and expected timing before placing an order; availability varies.
Explore a factory orderAfter the handoff
Tell the Bonham service team about towing, idling, dusty-road use and any upfits when you request an appointment. Use the manual and maintenance schedule for the VIN. For a concern, share when it happens, warning messages and the truck’s mileage.
Ask about diagnostic availability, authorization steps and updates. A diagnostic appointment does not establish a same-day repair promise. Warranty and recall questions need a VIN-specific review.
Answers before your visit
Bonham Chrysler is in Bonham, Texas, at 2122 N Center St, not in McKinney. McKinney shoppers can compare RAM 2500 trucks remotely, arrange a Bonham test drive, or discuss free vehicle delivery within 300 miles. Confirm the truck and appointment before traveling.
The 2026 RAM 2500 has a published maximum diesel towing capacity of 20,000 pounds and maximum gas towing capacity of 17,750 pounds when properly equipped. Your truck’s rating depends on configuration. Check its payload, axle, tire and hitch limits against the trailer’s loaded weight.
Start with your loaded trailer, annual mileage and ownership budget. Compare the gas truck’s purchase price and payload with the diesel truck’s towing capability and diesel-specific maintenance. Choose using the actual VINs and written prices; engine torque alone does not determine which truck fits your work.
RAM lists up to 4,580 pounds of gas payload for a properly equipped 2027 RAM 2500 with the Payload Upgrade Package. Compare that equipment with the actual 2026 truck you are considering. The selected truck’s load label, occupants, accessories and hitch load determine your usable allowance.
It depends on the actual truck and loaded trailer. Include passengers, tools, hitch hardware and trailer pin or tongue weight in the payload calculation. Check axle, tire, hitch and combined-weight limits too. If the selected 2500 cannot carry the complete load, compare an appropriately configured 3500.
Rebel and Power Wagon prioritize different off-road equipment. Rebel includes Bilstein shocks and offers Cummins diesel power. Power Wagon emphasizes features such as a front sway-bar disconnect and locking differentials. Engine availability changes by model year; compare the window stickers and load ratings of the exact trucks.
Yes. Bonham offers vehicle delivery at no charge within 300 miles, including McKinney. Confirm your destination, vehicle readiness, documents, funding and expected handoff window with the team. Agree separately on trade pickup or transport; the purchase-delivery offer does not automatically establish those arrangements.
You can start the trade process remotely with the vehicle’s VIN, mileage, condition and photos. Use Bonham’s online trade tool, then discuss appraisal and any pickup arrangements with the team. An initial estimate is subject to appraisal; confirm final figures before completing the purchase.
Request the selected VIN, selling price, qualifying incentives, documentary fee, applicable taxes, title and registration charges, and any optional products you choose. Compare trade figures and financing assumptions clearly. When buying from McKinney, have the team explain your registration paperwork and delivery arrangements before signing.
Yes. Bonham provides service planning at its Texas dealership. Share the VIN, mileage, symptoms and towing use when requesting an appointment. Ask about diagnostic availability and approval steps; diagnosis and repair completion have different timelines. Warranty coverage and recall eligibility require a vehicle-specific review.
Research and buying guidance
Model facts were checked against RAM’s factory capability, design and fleet-equipment publications. Bonham inventory examples come from the dealership’s vehicle records. Checked October 28, 2026.
The payload budget is a hypothetical illustration. The shopping recommendations are guidance for comparing your actual truck, trailer and intended use. Ask the Bonham team to review your VINs and equipment records with you.
Your next step
Tell us the VIN or trim, what you tow or carry, and whether you prefer a Bonham test drive or delivery to McKinney.
Use the inquiry form below to request a written equipment comparison or itemized quote. Keep financial account numbers and sensitive documents out of the message.
If your McKinney truck combines local use with hauling, send the trailer’s loaded weight, tongue or pin load, hitch equipment, passengers and tools before the visit. Ask Bonham to identify actual VINs with suitable ratings, rather than starting from a trim name.
Compare cab, bed, axle, rear-wheel arrangement and payload label together. Measure storage and parking access before choosing a larger truck; cabin upgrades do not automatically raise working capacity.
