Key Features of the 2027 RAM 2500

Available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 Engine

The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine is one of the most compelling reasons to choose the 2027 Ram 2500. Ram notes this engine can produce 430 maximum horsepower and 1,075 pound-feet of maximum available high-output diesel torque, with peak torque arriving at 1,800 rpm. That matters because heavy-duty truck buyers often need confident pulling power at practical engine speeds, not just impressive numbers on paper. Paired with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, the diesel powertrain is engineered to help the truck manage demanding loads with smooth shifting and commercial-grade durability. Cummins diesel powertrains are also used across a wide range of commercial applications, which reinforces the reputation for strength and dependability. Ram also references performance-focused enhancements such as advanced air flow, enhanced cold-start capability, a Smart Diesel Exhaust Brake, robust components and simple serviceability. For shoppers who tow equipment trailers, enclosed haulers, livestock trailers or larger recreational trailers, this available diesel setup gives the 2027 Ram 2500 the muscle and control needed for demanding use.

Best-in-Class Gas Payload

Not every heavy-duty buyer needs diesel power, and the 2027 Ram 2500 makes a strong case for gas capability as well. Ram 2500 HD Pickups offer Best-in-Class gas payload of 4,580 pounds when properly equipped, making the truck a serious choice for drivers who regularly carry tools, supplies, materials and cargo in the bed. That payload figure is especially important for contractors, landscapers, farm operators and small business owners who need a truck that can carry weight without relying solely on trailer capacity. The available 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine pairs with a TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission and helps provide confident gas-powered performance. Ram also notes a maximum gas towing capacity of 17,750 pounds when properly equipped, further expanding the truck’s usefulness. For buyers deciding between diesel torque and gas payload, the Ram 2500 makes both paths attractive. The best configuration depends on your real-world routine: how much you tow, how much you carry and whether your truck spends more time connected to a trailer or loaded at the worksite.

Trailer Reverse Steering Control

Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control is a standout feature for drivers who frequently back trailers into driveways, loading areas, barns, job sites or tight storage spaces. Instead of relying only on steering wheel inputs while watching trailer angle, this system allows the driver to use a trailer steering knob to control the trailer’s direction while backing up. The system controls the truck’s steering wheel, helping make trailer placement feel more intuitive. This can be especially helpful when maneuvering in areas with limited room, uneven sightlines or multiple obstacles. Ram supports towing confidence with several other available systems, including Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, which can provide live tire pressure readings for up to four trailers through the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. The available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package adds a factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember with integrated mounting hardware that can be paired with a hitch for quick and easy towing. Together, these features help the Ram 2500 feel like a more thoughtful towing partner, not just a powerful truck.

Largest-in-Class Available 14.5-Inch Uconnect® Infotainment Touchscreen

The cabin technology in the 2027 Ram 2500 is designed to make information easier to access, especially when work, towing and navigation all need attention. The Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch Uconnect® infotainment touchscreen can display navigation, entertainment and connected features on a broad, clear interface. Available Uconnect® 5 NAV supports up to five personalized driver profiles, tow-specific navigation and available Ram Connect One Services for safety, security and comfort control. Wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help drivers access familiar apps, music, podcasts and messaging without plugging in. Android Auto is also enhanced with Google Gemini, helping make supported phone functions more helpful and easier to use. The available Class-Exclusive 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display gives the front passenger a useful screen of their own, while Class-Exclusive available dual wireless charging pads help keep devices powered. For drivers who use a truck as a mobile office, family hauler and towing command center, this technology can make a meaningful difference.

Over 100 Standard and Available Safety and Security Features

Power is important in a heavy-duty truck, but confidence also comes from awareness, braking support and driver-assist technology. The 2027 Ram 2500 offers over 100 standard and available safety and security features. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking can help warn the driver when a collision is imminent and can even apply the brakes, helping bring the truck to a complete stop even with a trailer attached. Class-Exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control can help maintain a driver-selected following distance from vehicles ahead and can adjust speed all the way down to 0 mph, even with a trailer attached. Available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with newly enhanced Lane Keep Assist can provide visual alerts and help guide the truck back into its lane during unintentional drift. Available Drowsy Driver Detection can issue audible and visual alerts when rest is recommended, while available Traffic Sign Recognition can display detected sign information in the Digital Cluster Display or Head-Up Display if equipped. These systems help the Ram 2500 deliver heavy-duty strength with modern peace of mind.
