Ram powertrain warranty: extended coverage that changes the game
Posted on September 23, 2025
The industry’s most advantageous warranty
Good news for Quebec drivers: Ram Canada has announced an extended 10-year or 160,000-kilometer powertrain warranty for its 2026 models. This major decision, following a similar move by the automaker in the United States, represents a significant advantage for customers. At Trois Diamants in Mascouche, we are proud to provide this added peace of mind—whether you’re an active family, a professional, or a fan of tough trucks.
Unprecedented coverage
With this new warranty, Ram takes the lead in the North American industry. While most manufacturers—like Ford and GM—limit their powertrain coverage to 5 years or 100,000 kilometers, Ram doubles the offer. This extension reflects the brand’s confidence in the reliability of its vehicles and its commitment to customers.
Which models are covered?
The 10-year/160,000 km coverage applies to most of the 2026 Ram lineup:
- Ram 2500 HD and 3500 HD
- Chassis cab models
- Ram ProMaster
Even specialized versions like the Ram 1500 RHO or the Ram Power Wagon HD benefit from this extended protection. That means no matter your needs—heavy-duty work, hauling large loads, or everyday driving—you’ll enjoy strong, reliable warranty coverage.
Why this decision?
According to Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, the initiative comes from a simple reality: “everything costs more these days.” With nearly 80% of truck buyers financing their vehicle over more than five years, it only made sense to offer protection that extends beyond the financing period. This strategy is also designed to attract new buyers and boost brand sales.
What the warranty covers
The Ram 2026 powertrain warranty includes essential components such as:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Transfer case
- Drive shafts
- Differentials and axles
These parts represent the core of Ram’s performance and toughness. Thanks to this coverage, you’re protected from costly, long-term surprises.
Ram outpaces its rivals
With this announcement, Ram becomes the first American automaker to offer such a warranty. Its direct competitors, Ford and GM, still maintain the 5-year/100,000 km limit for powertrain coverage. It remains to be seen if others will follow, but for now, Ram customers enjoy an undeniable advantage.
A concrete benefit for families and professionals
For a family, this warranty means ten years of peace of mind, without worrying about unexpected expenses on the vehicle’s most critical components. For entrepreneurs and professionals who rely on their truck every day, it’s added assurance that their investment is protected. This type of added value often makes the difference when choosing a vehicle—especially in such a competitive market.
