2027 Ram 2500: What's New, Trims, Specs and Capability
The 2027 Ram 2500 delivers up to 1,075 lb-ft of torque from the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel and tows up to 20,000 lbs. The Power Wagon gets the Cummins diesel for the first time, and a new Payload Upgrade Package raises HEMI V8 payload to a class-leading 4,580 lbs. This page covers every major update, trim, and capability number, with inventory available now at Champion CDJR of Gulfport.
What's New for 2027
The biggest news for 2027 is the Ram 2500 Power Wagon receiving the 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output turbo diesel for the first time. Paired with the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission and a 3.42 rear axle ratio, the diesel Power Wagon produces 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque while retaining the off-road-specific equipment that defines the model. A 31-gallon fuel tank enables an estimated 600 miles of range, and fifth-wheel/gooseneck preparation is now available on the Power Wagon diesel for the first time.
Other Ram 2500 updates include a new Payload Upgrade Package for most 6.4-liter HEMI V8 models, raising GVWR from 10,000 lbs to 11,040 lbs for a best-in-class 2500 payload rating of 4,580 lbs. The $835 package includes a 3500 frame, leaf springs, and an anti-spin rear differential, and is available on Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Limited, and Limited Longhorn trims. Ram also adds its first pursuit-capable three-quarter-ton Emergency Response Vehicle for fleet customers.
Heavy-duty trucks equipped with the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 receive a new Symbol of Protest V8 fender badge, with Tradesman, Black Express, Warlock, Rebel, Power Wagon, and Night Edition trucks receiving a Satin Black version. Ram 3500 4x4 SRW Regular Cab and Crew Cab models with the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 now offer an 11,440-lb maximum GVWR, up 400 lbs from 2026.
Package and equipment availability also expands for 2027. The Sport Appearance Package and Night Edition Package are now available with Level 1 and Level 2 equipment groups, while Rebel and Power Wagon models with the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 can now add a standalone Warn electric winch without requiring the Level 1 Equipment Group. The anti-spin rear differential is also now available as a standalone option on the 2500 Tradesman.
Laramie models gain expanded RamBox availability and new optional body-color fender flares. New exterior colors include Serrano Green Metallic and Tank Clear-Coat, both with late availability.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Ram 2500 is offered in nine trim levels. Each targets a distinct buyer, from fleet and commercial use at the entry end to premium finishes at the top.
Tradesman
The Tradesman is the work-focused entry point in the 2500 lineup. It is built around utility, with durable materials, a straightforward interior, and full access to the powertrain and capability options that define the 2500 platform. Fleet buyers and commercial operators who prioritize function over finish typically start here.
Black Express
The Black Express builds on the Tradesman with a blacked-out exterior treatment. It is a crew cab configuration with a 6-foot, 4-inch bed, available in 4x4 only, and targets buyers who want a purposeful appearance without moving into higher trim pricing. The Black Express is not available with the Regular Cab or 8-foot bed.
Warlock
The Warlock adds a performance-influenced exterior package over the Tradesman base, featuring dark exterior accents and a distinct visual presence. It is a 4x4-only configuration offered in Crew Cab with a 6-foot, 4-inch bed. Buyers who want a blacked-out look with off-road visual cues at a step below the Rebel price point land here.
Big Horn / Lone Star
The Big Horn, sold as the Lone Star in Texas markets, adds comfort upgrades over the Tradesman while keeping the truck oriented toward work. It includes body-color exterior trim, a more refined interior treatment, and technology upgrades that make daily driving more comfortable without moving into premium territory.
Power Wagon
The Power Wagon is the benchmark off-road trim in the 2500 lineup and is available exclusively in a 4x4 Crew Cab configuration with a 6-foot, 4-inch bed. For 2027, it gains the 6.7-liter Cummins HO turbo diesel as an available powertrain for the first time. The Power Wagon comes standard with front and rear electronic-locking differentials, Bilstein monotube shocks, a class-exclusive disconnecting front stabilizer bar, Hill Descent Control, 20-inch Satin Black wheels, and 34-inch all-terrain tires. Ground clearance measures 13.2 inches on diesel-equipped models. The standard infotainment screen is a 12-inch Uconnect 5 unit, with a 14.5-inch screen available through the Level 2 Equipment Group. The Warn 12,000-lb electric front winch is available on HEMI V8 models and can now be added as a standalone option without requiring the Level 1 Equipment Group.
Rebel
The Rebel is the performance off-road trim in the 2500 lineup, sitting above the Power Wagon in the off-road hierarchy for buyers who prioritize on-road presence alongside trail capability. It is available in 4x4 only and offers the Cummins diesel alongside the HEMI V8. A sport performance hood is optionally available, and the Rebel features standard rear electronic-locking differential. The Level 2 Equipment Group adds a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 screen, Harman Kardon 17-speaker audio, and the front passenger interactive display.
Laramie
The Laramie is where the 2500 shifts toward a dual-purpose truck that handles both the worksite and the driveway. It adds leather-trimmed seating, additional technology features, and exterior chrome detailing. For 2027, Laramie gains expanded RamBox availability and new optional body-color fender flares. Buyers who use the truck heavily but want a finished interior on the weekends typically land here.
Limited Longhorn
The Limited Longhorn carries a ranch-heritage aesthetic with genuine wood trim, premium leather, and exterior badging that reflects its Western design direction. It delivers the full capability of the 2500 platform inside a cabin built around a specific visual identity. Buyers who want luxury finishes with a distinctly rugged character tend to choose this trim over the standard Limited.
Limited
The Limited is the top trim in the 2027 Ram 2500 lineup. Its interior uses leather seating surfaces with real wood and aluminum accent trim. The Limited includes the highest level of technology content available in the 2500, including the 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 NAV screen, the 12-inch digital cluster, and the Harman Kardon audio system as standard or available features. Buyers who want a heavy-duty work truck with a near-luxury cabin land here.
Performance & Powertrain
Two engine paths are available on the 2027 Ram 2500.
The base engine is the 6.4L HEMI V8, a gasoline V8 that covers most daily hauling needs. It produces 405 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque. On gas, the 2500 tows up to 17,740 lbs and carries a best-in-class payload of 4,580 lbs with the Payload Upgrade Package.
The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 is where the numbers climb. It produces 430 hp at 2,800 RPM and 1,075 lb-ft of torque at 1,800 RPM. Maximum diesel towing reaches 20,000 lbs. The diesel also benefits from an available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake, which helps control descent and deceleration when hauling heavy loads down grades.
Both engines pair with the TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic transmission, a unit built specifically to handle the torque loads that define heavy-duty work cycles.
Ram 2500 Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed are eligible for the best-in-class available 50-gallon fuel tank, which extends range between stops for long-haul operators.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The 2027 Ram 2500 Mega Cab configuration offers class-exclusive reclining rear seats and class-exclusive forward fold-flat rear seats, making it the most passenger-friendly heavy-duty cab in its segment.
Front-row seating options include a 40/20/40 split-folding bench or available bucket seats. The rear offers three 60/40 split-folding configurations. Rear passengers have access to a 115-volt outlet and a center console rear cubby bin for charging and storing devices on long hauls.
Storage in the cab extends to in-floor Ram Bins, a fold-flat load floor, and a rear cubby bin. For the bed, available LED lighting integrates into the cargo lamp so work doesn't stop at dusk.
The Ram 2500 also offers best-in-class available onboard power at 2.4 kilowatts, which lets operators run tools directly from the truck.
Technology & Infotainment
The largest available touchscreen in the heavy-duty pickup class measures 14.5 inches. This Uconnect 5 NAV display supports up to five personalized driver profiles, tow-specific navigation, and available Ram Connect One services. The standard screen on the Power Wagon is a 12-inch Uconnect 5 unit.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, with Google Gemini integration, are both supported. A class-exclusive available 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display is offered for co-pilot convenience on long trips.
The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display shows full-color 3D graphics, trailer tire pressure monitoring for up to four trailers, off-road pitch and roll data, and turn-by-turn navigation within the driver's sightline.
Towing technology features include:
- Trailer Reverse Steering Control, a steering knob controls trailer direction while the system manages the truck's steering wheel automatically
- Digital Rearview Mirror with real-time rear camera feed and available Tow Mode Camera
- 360-degree Surround View Camera for full situational awareness at the hitch and around the truck
- Trailer Light Check and Trailer Brake Status shown in the digital cluster
- Audio is available in a 17-speaker, 900-watt Harman Kardon system with Interior Active Noise Cancellation. Class-exclusive dual wireless charging pads with ventilation keep devices cool during use.
Safety & Driver Assistance
The 2027 Ram 2500 carries class-exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control. This system maintains a driver-selected following distance and can slow the truck to a complete stop in traffic, even with a trailer attached.
Standard safety equipment includes Blind Spot Monitoring and Hill Descent Control. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking is available and can apply the brakes to a full stop, including while towing.
Additional available systems include:
- LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
- Drowsy Driver Detection with audible and visual alerts
- Traffic Sign Recognition displayed on the cluster or head-up display
- Rear Seat Reminder Alert
- LED Trailer Hitch Light for visibility during trailer connection
- The available power convex trailer tow mirrors offer forward and reverse spotter functionality and can telescope in and out, which is particularly useful when moving from highway towing to tight jobsite parking.
Who It's For, vs the Prior Year
The 2027 Ram 2500 is built for buyers who need a truck that earns its keep every day. Contractors, agricultural operators, fleet managers, and serious recreational towers in the Gulfport area will find the diesel's 1,075 lb-ft output and 20,000-lb tow rating is the upper limit of what any half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck in the class can deliver.
The Power Wagon diesel, new Symbol of Protest V8 badge, Payload Upgrade Package, and expanded Android Auto integration are the clearest year-over-year changes. If you are coming from a 2025 or 2026 Ram 2500 with the gas engine, the new badge and payload package are meaningful additions. If you are coming from an older generation, the 14.5-inch touchscreen, standard Adaptive Cruise Control, and Trailer Reverse Steering Control represent a generational jump in how the cab operates.
Buyers who only need occasional heavy towing and want a simpler ownership cost can lean on the 6.4L HEMI V8 and its class-leading payload capability. Buyers who tow maximum loads regularly and want the lowest fueling cost per haul should spec the Cummins diesel.
