RAM 2500 Big Horn Night Crew 8pi Cummins *ARRIVAGE JUILLET*2026 RAM 2500 Big Horn Night Edition Crew Cab 4x4 Cummins: Heavy-Duty Power Wrapped in a Blacked-Out Attitude
Here's a heavy-duty truck that doesn't play around. The 2026 RAM 2500 Big Horn Night Edition Crew Cab 4x4, equipped with the legendary Cummins 6.7L High Output turbo diesel engine, combines serious work capability with a darkened visual signature that turns heads on the job site and in the parking lot alike. It's the perfect choice for contractors, farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, and trailer owners who need to tow nearly anything without giving up modern comfort or a bold look. And here's a 2026 game-changer: RAM now offers Canada's best limited powertrain warranty in the industry, covering 10 years or 160,000 kilometres, providing genuine long-term peace of mind that's rare in the full-size truck segment.
Cummins Power That Means Business
Under the high-performance sport hood of this RAM 2500 sits the legendary 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel inline-six in its High Output configuration. This engine produces 430 horsepower and a massive 1,075 lb-ft of torque, the highest torque rating in its class in Canada. Paired with the 8-speed TorqueFlite HD automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers smooth, confident power that's perfectly suited to pulling away with a heavy load or climbing demanding grades effortlessly. The 3.42 rear axle ratio was chosen to strike a balance between towing capability and highway fuel efficiency.
Beyond the numbers, the Cummins is known for legendary longevity. Properly maintained, this engine can accumulate hundreds of thousands of kilometres without trouble, making the RAM 2500 a smart long-term investment for anyone who calculates total cost of ownership over the years.
Towing and Payload Built for Real Work
This specific configuration delivers a maximum conventional trailer towing capacity of 17,080 lb. Payload, meaning the weight you can add to the box and cabin combined, including passengers, tools, materials, and equipment, comes in at 2,010 lb. These numbers open the door to virtually any use case: large travel trailers, commercial enclosed trailers, pontoon boats, fishing boats, full-size horse trailers, or heavy construction materials.
This truck also comes factory-equipped with fifth-wheel and gooseneck preparation, which means the structural reinforcements and anchoring points are already in place to receive a fifth-wheel hitch plate or gooseneck device when you're ready to upgrade to heavier trailering setups.
The factory-installed backup alarm adds a welcome layer of safety on job sites, in commercial yards, and in any situation where the truck is reversing near other workers or vehicles.
A 9,900 lb GVWR: A Strategic Advantage for Quebec Businesses
Here's a detail that often flies under the radar but changes the math for businesses across our region. With its GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of 9,900 lb, or 4,490 kg, this RAM 2500 stays below the 4,500 kg threshold set by Quebec regulations governing commercial vehicle roadside inspections. In practical terms, this truck generally avoids the mandatory weigh station stops required of heavier vehicles, which translates to fewer interruptions, greater productivity, and more predictable schedules for self-employed workers and business fleets.
This particular GVWR configuration is especially favoured by construction contractors, landscapers, tradespeople, farmers, and small business owners who want the full capability of a three-quarter ton truck without the heavier administrative burden associated with higher-rated vehicles.
Night Edition Attitude: Character Without Compromising Toughness
The Night Edition transforms the RAM 2500 Big Horn into a more imposing, confident presence. The blacked-out treatment is applied to exterior elements normally finished in chrome: the front grille, RAM badging, body trim, wheels, and exterior accents all adopt a dark finish that completely modernizes the truck's appearance. The result is a vehicle that stands out in any parking lot or on any road without shouting to the world what it can do.
Beneath this darkened exterior, you'll also find the high-performance sport hood that gives the front end a more muscular silhouette. The cab clearance lamps, in addition to being a classic HD truck design cue, legally signal your presence to other drivers and improve your visibility in poor weather conditions. The Forge Blue Metallic paint adds a deep visual richness that contrasts elegantly with the Night Edition's black accents.
Crew Cab and 8-Foot Box: Versatility on Its Own Terms
The Crew Cab configuration of the RAM 2500 offers four real doors and a cabin spacious enough to comfortably seat five adults, with a folding rear bench that opens up secure, enclosed interior storage when not needed for passengers. It's the ideal choice for those who need to transport a crew to the work site in the morning and the family to the cottage in the evening.
At the back, the 8-foot (96-inch) box offers the maximum bed length available on this model. This is the benchmark for transporting full 4-by-8 plywood sheets laid flat without lowering the tailgate, construction beams, drywall, roofing materials, or any bulky job site equipment. For real users who refuse to compromise on box length, this configuration remains the absolute standard.
The Big Horn Level 2 Group: Comfort for Long Days
The Big Horn Level 2 group elevates the in-cabin experience with comfort and convenience features that make a real difference when you're spending eight hours a day behind the wheel. This group typically adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable seats, remote start for warming up the cabin during cold Quebec mornings, and an upgraded Uconnect 5 infotainment system on a larger touchscreen.
The premium cloth front bucket seats finished in Black with black interior offer comfortable, durable support that's perfectly suited to heavy daily use. Premium-grade cloth handles tools, dirty boots, and everyday wear better than leather while remaining easy to clean.
Uconnect 5 Technology and Modern Connectivity
The onboard Uconnect 5 system is widely regarded as one of the best infotainment systems in the automotive industry. It features wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning your phone syncs cable-free the moment you start the truck. Built-in navigation, satellite radio, and enhanced voice command round out the experience.
For drivers who use their RAM 2500 as a true mobile office, the truck can serve as an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot (subscription required), letting you connect a tablet, laptop, or job site equipment directly to the cellular network from anywhere across the province.
Safety and Driver Assist Features
The 2026 RAM 2500 Big Horn Night Edition emphasizes active safety with a suite of systems designed to help you avoid incidents before they happen. Depending on the unit's specific configuration and selected packages, driver assists can include blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control.
The factory-installed backup alarm on this unit, the standard LED headlamps, and the cab clearance lamps all contribute to your safety in every visibility condition, from morning fog to the heavy snowstorms we know well in the Beauce.

This capacity covers the needs of large travel trailers, commercial enclosed trailers, sizeable boats, and most full-size horse trailers. The truck also comes with fifth-wheel and gooseneck preparation for owners who want to eventually move up to heavier trailering setups.
What is the payload, and what does a 9,900 lb GVWR mean in Quebec?

The RAM 2500's two-speed 4x4 transfer case gives you a 4 Hi mode for driving in slippery conditions and a 4 Lo mode for tackling snow-covered forestry roads or deeper snowbanks. The substantial weight over the drive axles provides excellent winter traction, and the Cummins engine delivers instant torque that lets you pull away smoothly on ice without wheel spin. With proper winter tires, this truck becomes a confidence-inspiring partner in even the harshest Quebec winter conditions.
What sets the Night Edition apart from the standard Big Horn?
The Night Edition applies a blacked-out aesthetic treatment to exterior elements normally finished in chrome on the Big Horn: the front grille, badging, trim, exterior accents, and wheels all take on a dark finish that completely transforms the truck's appearance. The result is more modern, more assertive, and more refined all at once. This particular unit also adds the high-performance sport hood and the cab clearance lamps, which reinforce the truck's imposing presence.
