2026 Ram 2500 Limited vs. Limited Longhorn
How can we help you?
When you reach the top of the Ram Heavy Duty food chain, you are no longer just buying a work truck; you are buying a mobile executive office that can pull a house. In Kingfisher, we see many buyers torn between the two pinnacles of the lineup: the Ram 2500 Limited and the Ram 2500 Limited Longhorn.
At first glance, they seem identical. Both come standard with the high-tech 12-inch digital cluster, both offer the massive 14.5-inch touchscreen, and both can be equipped with the legendary 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel. So, what is the difference? It comes down to aesthetic personality. This guide breaks down the distinct vibe of each trim to help you decide which one belongs in your driveway.
The Ram 2500 Limited: "Modern Executive Luxury"
- The Look: The Limited features a unique corrugated mesh grille and tasteful chrome accents (or blacked-out trim on the "Night Edition"). It is sophisticated without being loud.
- The Interior: Inside, you will find premium black leather bucket seats with subtle stitching. The trim is real aluminum and black open-pore wood. It feels like a high-end German luxury sedan that just happens to weigh 8,000 pounds.
- Key Feature: The Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Detection and Power Deployable Running Boards come standard here, emphasizing functional luxury.
Think of the Limited as a black-tie suit. It is sleek, understated, and tech-forward. It is designed for the buyer who wants the best features but prefers a cleaner, more urban aesthetic.
The Ram 2500 Limited Longhorn: "Western Warmth & Craftsmanship"
- The Look: The Longhorn stands out with its available two-tone exterior paint (often a white or red upper with a walnut brown lower) and belt-buckle inspired badging.
- The Interior: This is where the magic happens. The seats are wrapped in 100% full-grain Filigree leather (often in a rich Cattle Tan or Mountain Brown). The accents are real Barnwood and authentic, rough-hewn wood branded with the Longhorn logo. Even the floor mats have filigree metal badges.
- Key Feature: The attention to detail is unmatched. From the saddle-bag style pockets on the back of the front seats to the brushed gold trim rings on the gauges, every inch screams "Kingfisher Country."
The Limited Longhorn is a saddle. It is unapologetically Western, warm, and inviting. It is designed for the rancher or the buyer who appreciates old-world craftsmanship.

Performance Note: Equal Capability
Do not worry about sacrificing power for luxury. Both trucks are available with the High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel (430 hp, 1,075 lb-ft torque) or the standard 6.4L Hemi V8. Both can tow up to 20,000 lbs when properly equipped. The difference is purely in how you feel while you are doing it.
At Johnsons of Kingfisher, we stock both because we know our customers have different tastes. Come sit in both. Touch the Barnwood. Feel the Nathanael leather. The truck will tell you which one is yours.
