DETROIT — Ram Trucks plans to introduce an industry-leading warranty across its 2026 vehicle lineup this year as part of an 18-month turnaround plan for the Stellantis
-owned brand.
The warranty covers the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials and axles for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. It replaces Ram’s current five-year or 60,000-mile warranty, which is relatively standard for full-size pickup trucks across the automotive industry.
The new warranty comes as vehicles — especially pickup trucks — have grown more expensive in recent years, which often results in longer financing that extends far beyond the warranties of the vehicles themselves.
“Eighty-five percent of truck buyers finance for seven years or more. They keep it for 12 years because everything’s gotten more expensive,” Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis said during a media event. “But you know what hasn’t changed? No one has changed the warranty. They’re investing more and more and more money in your brand, but you’re not investing more money to protect them.”
