When you invest in a full-size truck or van, you're not just buying transportation. You're committing to years of work, family trips, and daily reliability. Ram understands that commitment, which is why the brand has introduced what they're calling Canada's best full-size truck limited powertrain warranty for 2026 models.

Starting with the 2026 model year, Ram is backing its trucks and commercial vans with a 10-year or 160,000-kilometre limited powertrain warranty. That's a decade of coverage on the components that matter most--your engine, transmission, and drivetrain.

Why Ram Extended the Warranty Now

The truck market has changed. Nearly 80 percent of buyers now finance their purchases for more than five years, stretching loan terms well beyond what older warranties covered. Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis put it simply: customers are making long-term investments, and Ram is responding with a stronger commitment in return.

This isn't a small step up. It doubles the previous powertrain coverage window, aligning protection with how Canadians actually use and pay for their trucks today.

What's Covered Under the 10-Year Limited Powertrain Warranty

Ram's extended coverage applies to the heart of your truck or van. The warranty protects:

• Engine components
• Transmission
• Transfer case
• Driveshafts
• Differentials
• Axles

Coverage runs for 10 years or 160,000 kilometres, whichever arrives first. The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original retail purchaser or lessee, except where required by law.

Which 2026 Ram Vehicles Qualify

The 10-year limited powertrain warranty covers a wide range of 2026 Ram models sold in Canada, including:

• Ram 1500 (including the high-performance RHO)
• Ram 2500
• Ram 3500
• Ram Chassis Cab 3500/4500/5500
• Ram ProMaster vans

Full battery-electric vehicles are excluded. The warranty applies only to new, previously unregistered vehicles purchased or leased from an authorized Ram dealership in Canada. It covers retail purchases and leases to individuals and businesses but excludes fleet purchases.

The Reassurance of Extended Coverage

Owning a truck means relying on it for serious work. Whether you're hauling equipment across British Columbia's Lower Mainland, towing trailers through mountain passes, or making daily deliveries across Maple Ridge and the Fraser Valley, you need confidence that your powertrain won't leave you stranded.

A 10-year warranty removes much of the financial anxiety that comes with high-mileage ownership. Repair costs for engines or transmissions can run into thousands of dollars. Knowing those components are covered for a full decade lets you focus on the job at hand instead of worrying about surprise repair bills.

What About Fleet Customers?

Ram didn't forget commercial buyers. Fleet customers purchasing 2026 model-year vehicles now receive a separate 5-year or 160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty. This gives business owners operating multiple trucks and vans added protection across their entire fleet.

Fleet coverage recognizes that commercial vehicles often face harder use cycles and higher annual mileage. Five years of powertrain protection supports business planning and reduces unexpected downtime.

Cross-Border Coverage Gets an Update Too

Ram has also expanded its CanAm Warranty coverage for 2026 retail units. If you export your Ram to the United States after six months and 15,000 kilometres of use in Canada, your warranty remains eligible for continued coverage. This applies to all 2024 model-year and newer retail and fleet vehicles across all Stellantis brands.

For buyers who work on both sides of the border or who plan to relocate, this cross-border flexibility adds meaningful value.

How to Take Advantage of the Warranty

To qualify for Ram's 10-year limited powertrain warranty, you must:

1. Purchase or lease a new, unregistered 2026 Ram vehicle
2. Buy from an authorized Ram dealership in Canada
3. Be the original retail purchaser or lessee

The warranty is automatically included--there's no upgrade fee or special package required. Just make sure your vehicle is serviced according to Ram's recommended maintenance schedule. Proper upkeep is essential to keeping your coverage valid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 10-year warranty transfer if I sell my truck?

No. The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original retail purchaser or lessee, except where otherwise required by applicable law.

Are Ram electric vehicles included?

Full battery-electric vehicles are excluded from the 10-year limited powertrain warranty.

Can I buy a 2026 Ram for my business and still get the 10-year warranty?

Yes, as long as it's a retail purchase or lease. Fleet purchases receive a separate 5-year or 160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty instead.

What happens if I reach 160,000 kilometres before 10 years?

The warranty ends at whichever limit comes first--either 10 years or 160,000 kilometres.

Where do I take my Ram for warranty service?

Any authorized Ram dealership in Canada can handle warranty claims and service. At Maple Ridge Chrysler Jeep Dodge, our service team is equipped to support all Ram powertrain warranty needs.

Why This Warranty Matters in Maple Ridge

Drivers in Maple Ridge and the surrounding Fraser Valley rely on their trucks for everything from construction work to outdoor recreation. Whether you're navigating winter conditions on the Lougheed Highway or towing gear up to Golden Ears Provincial Park, you need a truck that's built to last--and a manufacturer willing to stand behind it.

Ram's 10-year warranty reflects confidence in build quality and long-term durability. It's designed to match the way people actually own and use trucks today, not the way they did two decades ago when five-year loans were the norm.
