Key Features of the 2027 RAM 2500

High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 Engine

The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine is one of the defining reasons to consider the 2027 Ram 2500. Ram highlights this powertrain for commercial-grade durability and exceptional performance, and the numbers make the case clearly: up to 430 maximum horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 1,075 pound-feet of torque at 1,800 rpm. That low-rpm torque matters because heavy-duty truck owners often need confident pulling power from a stop, on grades, and under load. Paired with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, this engine helps the Ram 2500 deliver up to 20,000 pounds of maximum available diesel towing capacity when properly equipped. Ram also notes advanced air flow leading to performance improvements, enhanced cold-start capability, smart diesel exhaust brake capability, robust components, and simple serviceability. For contractors, trailer owners, and business operators, this available Cummins® engine brings the kind of power that can make demanding days feel more manageable.

Best-in-Class Payload

Payload is one of the most important specs for heavy-duty truck shoppers, and the 2027 Ram 2500 makes a strong statement with Best-in-Class Payload of 4,580 pounds when properly equipped. Payload affects how confidently a truck can carry tools, materials, cargo, supplies, and passengers, making it essential for construction crews, landscapers, maintenance teams, and drivers who need one truck to handle many roles. Ram also lists an 11,040-pound maximum GVWR, reinforcing the truck’s serious working foundation. Gas-powered capability is a major strength as well, with the 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine and TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission supporting heavy-duty performance. Ram 2500 Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed also offer a Best-in-Class available 50-gallon fuel tank, helping drivers go farther between fill-ups. For shoppers comparing heavy-duty pickups, the Ram 2500’s payload advantage is a practical benefit that can show up every day, especially when a job requires a mix of people, gear, and cargo.

Trailer Reverse Steering Control

Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control is a valuable tool for drivers who tow often, especially when maneuvering trailers in tight areas. Instead of relying only on traditional steering inputs while backing up, this system allows the driver to use a trailer steering knob to control trailer direction while the system controls the truck’s steering wheel. That can reduce stress when lining up a trailer at a boat ramp, jobsite, storage area, barn, driveway, or loading zone. The 2027 Ram 2500 also supports towing confidence with available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, which can provide live tire pressure readings for up to four trailers through the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display when equipped with the Tow Tech Package. The available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package adds factory-installed structural support and integrated mounting hardware for quick, clean hitch pairing. Add the available Class-Exclusive Rear Auto-Level Air Suspension, and hitching can become quicker because the truck can lower or raise to help align the hitch and trailer.

14.5-Inch Uconnect® Infotainment Touchscreen

The 2027 Ram 2500 offers the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch Uconnect® infotainment touchscreen, giving drivers an expansive command center for navigation, entertainment, vehicle settings, and towing information. The available Uconnect® 5 NAV system includes up to five personalized driver profiles, tow-specific navigation, available Ram Connect One Services, full-color 3D navigation, Wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone®, and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. Android Auto is also described as being supercharged with Google Gemini, adding a more helpful and streamlined connected experience. For households or work teams with multiple drivers, personalized profiles can help simplify cabin setup. For trailer owners, tow-specific navigation can be especially helpful when route planning matters. Ram also offers a Class-Exclusive available 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display and Class-Exclusive dual wireless charging pads with ventilation to help optimize charging. The result is a heavy-duty truck cabin that feels organized, current, and ready for modern work or travel demands.

Over 100 Standard and Available Safety and Security Features

Confidence matters when a truck is big, capable, and often connected to a trailer. The 2027 Ram 2500 offers over 100 standard and available safety and security features designed to support awareness and control. Class-Exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control can help maintain a selected distance from vehicles ahead and can adjust truck speed down to 0 mph, even with a trailer attached. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking can warn the driver when a potential collision is imminent and can apply braking, even bringing the truck to a complete stop with a trailer attached. Available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with newly enhanced Lane Keep Assist can provide a visual alert and help guide the truck back into its lane. Available Drowsy Driver Detection can issue audible and visual alerts if rest is recommended, while available Traffic Sign Recognition can show detected sign information on the Digital Cluster Display or Head-Up Display if equipped. Available camera systems, including the 360° Surround View Camera and Digital Rearview Mirror, further improve visibility around the truck and trailer.
