Ram Doubles Down On Long-Term Confidence In Canada

Yesterday, we talked about how the Ram brand raised the bar by expanding its 10-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty across its U.S. lineup. Well, it didn’t take long for Canada to follow suit — and in true Ram fashion, it’s doing so with numbers that matter to truck and van buyers north of the border.

Ram Trucks Canada has officially confirmed that its 10-Year/160,000-kilometre (100,000-mile) Limited Powertrain Warranty will now cover the entire 2026 model year. The program was originally scheduled to end on January 2, 2026, but strong dealer and customer feedback prompted Ram to extend it through the full 2026 production run.

In simple terms, Ram is saying it believes in its trucks and vans for the long haul — and it’s willing to put that belief in writing.

What Vehicles Are Covered? –

The extended warranty applies to all 2026 model-year Ram trucks and vans sold in Canada, excluding full battery-electric vehicles. That includes:

• Ram 1500

• Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty

• Ram Chassis Cab 3500, 4500, and 5500

• Ram ProMaster vans

• Performance and off-road models like the Ram RHO and Ram Power Wagon

Whether you’re buying a half-ton for daily driving, a Heavy Duty for towing, or a ProMaster for business use, the same long-term coverage applies.

What Does The Warranty Cover? –

The 10-year or 160,000-kilometre limited powertrain warranty (whichever comes first) covers the most expensive components to repair:

• Engine

• Transmission

• Transfer case

• Driveshafts

• Differentials

• Axles

The coverage applies to retail purchases and leases, for both individuals and businesses. Fleet purchases are excluded, and the warranty applies only to the original owner.

Why This Matters More Than Ever –

This move isn’t happening in a vacuum. Nearly 80% of new truck loans now extend beyond five years, which means many owners are still making payments after traditional 5-year/100,000-kilometre powertrain warranties expire.

By stretching coverage to a full decade, Ram is aligning its warranty with real-world ownership patterns. For buyers, that means more peace of mind, stronger long-term value, and fewer concerns about major mechanical repairs while the truck is still being financed.

It also sends a clear message in a highly competitive truck market: Ram isn’t just talking about quality — it’s backing it up.

A Broader Strategy Of Confidence –

Taken together with the U.S. warranty expansion we discussed yesterday, it’s clear this is part of a larger North American strategy. Ram understands that trucks and vans are long-term investments, especially for families, contractors, and small businesses. Extending powertrain coverage helps reinforce trust at a time when vehicle prices, interest rates, and ownership costs remain top of mind.

For Canadian buyers looking at a 2026 Ram, this extended warranty could be the deciding factor — and it firmly cements Ram’s position as offering Canada’s best full-size truck and van powertrain warranty.
