Full 2027 Ram 2500 specs and trims
The 2027 Ram 2500 is Ram's 3/4-ton heavy-duty pickup, built for demanding commercial work and recreational hauling. It sits above the Ram 1500 in the lineup and delivers substantially higher towing and payload capability.
Yes. The Ram 2500 is classified as a heavy-duty 3/4-ton truck. It features heavy-duty axles, reinforced suspension, and the structural capability to handle loads that exceed what a light-duty pickup can manage. With the available Cummins diesel, it reaches a 20,000-lb maximum towing capacity.
The core difference is capability. The Ram 1500 is a light-duty 1/2-ton truck built for everyday driving and commuting. The Ram 2500 is a 3/4-ton heavy-duty truck with a maximum towing capacity of 20,000 lbs (diesel) versus the 1500's lighter rating, and a best-in-class gas payload of 4,580 lbs. If you are regularly pulling a loaded fifth-wheel, a commercial trailer, or heavy equipment, the 2500 is the correct tool.
The standout change for 2027 is that the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine is now offered on the Power Wagon trim, which previously came only with the 6.4L HEMI V8. The 2027 model also adds a new HEMI V8 exterior badge on trucks equipped with the 6.4L gas engine.
Two engines are available. The standard engine is the 6.4L HEMI V8, producing 405 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque. The available engine is the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6, producing 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque.
The 6.4L HEMI V8 produces 405 hp at 5,600 RPM. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 produces 430 hp at 2,800 RPM.
The gas 6.4L HEMI V8 produces 429 lb-ft of torque. The available Cummins diesel produces 1,075 lb-ft of torque at 1,800 RPM, the number that matters most for heavy trailer pulls.
Both engines pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The gas engine uses the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic. The diesel uses the TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic, built to handle the higher torque output of the Cummins engine.
Yes. Most trims are offered in both 4x2 (rear-wheel drive) and 4x4 (four-wheel drive). Some trims, including the Power Wagon, Rebel, and Warlock, are available only in 4x4. Contact Tuscaloosa CDJR for the specific configuration you need.
