How the 2026 Ram 1500 Tungsten Sets the Standard for Luxury Pickup Interiors

The Ram 1500 Tungsten is not trying to be a truck that happens to have nice seats. It is a full luxury vehicle that happens to have a 5-foot or 6-foot-4 pickup bed behind the cabin. With the 3.0-litre Hurricane High Output engine producing 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, standard active-level four-corner air suspension and an interior finished in quilted Natura Plus leather with 24-way power-adjustable massage seats, the Tungsten sits at the top of Ram's lineup for a reason. For buyers in Sundridge and the Muskoka region who tow boats to Lake Nipissing, haul materials to cottage builds and still expect a refined cabin on the drive home, the Tungsten delivers on both fronts.

Ram has positioned the Tungsten with a specific claim: it is the most luxurious Ram 1500 ever produced. The details support that statement. From the 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system to the suede-wrapped headliner, A-pillars and sun visors, every surface inside the Tungsten cabin has been considered. This is a BOFU deep dive into what makes the Tungsten trim worth serious consideration for Parry Sound District buyers ready to finalize their next truck purchase.

The Tungsten Interior: Material by Material

The Tungsten's Indigo/Sea Salt interior colour scheme sets the tone. It is a two-tone palette — deep blue and light grey — that avoids the all-black monotony common in truck cabins. Here is what goes into the space:

• Seats: Heated and ventilated quilted Natura Plus leather with 24-way power adjustment, memory settings, massage function, power lumbar support and four-way powered headrests
• Headliner and pillars: Suede-wrapped headliner, A-pillars, B-pillars and sun visors
• Accents: Platinum patina/semi-bright dual-textured metal with diamond knurling throughout the cabin
• Console badge: Tungsten nameplate with inlaid metal lettering and diamond knurling, displaying the vehicle's individual VIN
• Trim bezels: Brushed platinum patina aluminum litho
• Shifter: Crystal-effect centre cap
• Pedals: Metal pedal kit
• Charging: Dual wireless charging pads (a Ram exclusive in the segment)

The massage function alone sets the Tungsten apart from any other light-duty truck interior available in Canada. On a three-hour drive from Sundridge to Toronto along Highway 11, or returning from a long day towing a boat trailer, the 24-way seat adjustment and active massage make a measurable difference in driver fatigue.

The Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System

The Tungsten is the only pickup truck in Canada — or North America — with a factory Klipsch audio system. This is the first automotive application of the Klipsch brand, and the numbers reflect its position at the top of the segment:

• 23 speakers (the most available in any pickup truck)
• 1,228-watt high-fidelity amplifier
• 12-inch subwoofer
• Stainless steel speaker covers
• Titanium dome tweeters

The system is standard equipment on the Tungsten, not an optional package. For drivers who spend hours behind the wheel — commuting between Muskoka properties, running to job sites or making weekend supply runs — audio quality transforms the daily experience of the cabin.

Technology: Over 50 Inches of Available Display

The Ram 1500 Tungsten comes loaded with the most advanced Uconnect 5 system in the segment. The technology suite includes:

• 14.5-inch touchscreen: The largest reconfigurable screen in its class, featuring split-screen capability for running two applications simultaneously
• 10.25-inch passenger screen: A segment-first, visible only to the front passenger, offering navigation co-pilot functions, entertainment via HDMI and access to exterior vehicle cameras
• 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster: Configurable with nearly two dozen menus, including adaptive cruise control, driver-assist status and a digital tachometer
• Head-Up Display (HUD): Configurable up to 10 inches, projecting speed, navigation, lane-keeping status and incoming calls directly onto the windshield

The Tungsten also includes Hands-free Driving Assist, Ram's Level 2+ automated driving system. On approved highways, the system handles lane centring and adaptive cruise control without requiring hands on the wheel — a feature that adds tangible comfort on long Ontario highway drives.

Performance and Capability

The Tungsten is powered exclusively by the 3.0-litre Hurricane High Output engine. Here is how it stacks up within the Ram 1500 lineup:

A note on the towing figures: the Hurricane HO's maximum towing of 9,920 pounds is lower than the SO's 11,570 pounds because the HO is tuned for peak power and acceleration rather than maximum sustained load. For cottage-country towing — boats, utility trailers, snowmobile decks — 9,920 pounds covers the vast majority of recreational and light commercial needs in the Sundridge area.

The standard active-level four-corner air suspension offers five ride-height modes: entry/exit, aero, normal, off-road 1 and off-road 2. The system automatically lowers the truck at highway speeds to reduce drag and raises it for rough terrain. Combined with the Ram's five-link solid rear axle and coil-spring suspension (a departure from the leaf springs used by competitors), the Tungsten rides with a composure that justifies its luxury positioning.

How the Tungsten Compares to Luxury SUVs

The Tungsten's interior finish, audio system, seat technology and ride quality put it in conversation with vehicles outside the truck segment. Where a luxury SUV in a comparable price bracket offers similar cabin appointments, it cannot match the Tungsten's bed utility, towing capacity or payload rating.

For buyers in Ontario's cottage country who previously split their driving between a luxury SUV for daily comfort and a truck for hauling, the Tungsten consolidates both roles into one vehicle. The massage seats, Klipsch audio and suede-wrapped cabin surfaces are present every day, while the steel bed, Class II or IV hitch receiver and available RamBox cargo management system remain ready when work or recreation calls.
