2027 Ram 1500 Overview: Engines, Trim Families, and Availability at Fontana CDJR

Seven Engines for 2027

Ram offers seven engines for 2027: three six-cylinders and four HEMI V8s. Each one pairs with an eight-speed automatic. The Hurricane twin-turbo inline-sixes were once expected to replace the HEMI V8s. For 2027 they are sold alongside them instead. Trucks with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque also gain available 2kW onboard power, drawn from two 120-volt outlets in the bed. Specs on this page come from Ram’s official 2027 Ram 1500 press kit.

Towing and Payload by Engine

Engine choice drives capability more than trim does. The Standard Output Hurricane carries the lineup’s towing ceiling, while the Pentastar V6 eTorque leads on payload.

The 2027 Ram 1500 Trim Lineup

Ram sorts the 2027 lineup into four model groups. Every truck comes in 4×2 or 4×4. Body styles are Quad Cab and Crew Cab, with a 5-foot-7 or 6-foot-4 bed. Widebody builds are 4×4 only.

Core

Tradesman, Express and Black Express, Big Horn/Lone Star, and Laramie. This is the volume side of the lineup. It runs from a plain work truck up to leather seating and larger displays.

Off-Road

Warlock, BackCountry, Rebel, RHO, and TRX SRT. These add raised ride height, off-road tires, and trail-tuned hardware. The TRX SRT tops the group. It earns an SRT badge for the first time this year.

Premium

Limited, Limited Longhorn, and Tungsten. The Tungsten is the flagship. It offers an available 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system. Also available are 24-way power front seats with massage, heat, and ventilation.

Muscle Trucks

Rumble Bee, Rumble Bee 392, Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack, and Rumble Bee SRT. This family is new for 2027. It adds a Quad Cab widebody build and draws power from three different HEMI V8 powertrains.

Starting Price

Pricing opens at $45,170 MSRP for the Tradesman.

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.

What Changed for 2027

Most 2027 updates land on the volume trims. Rain-sensing wipers are now standard on the Laramie. The Big Horn Crew Cab with the Level 2 Equipment Group adds passive entry. Ram’s 360-degree surround camera system is now standard on Limited, Limited Longhorn, and RHO. For the first time it is also optional with Laramie and Rebel Level 1 Equipment Groups.

The RHO gains a Popular Equipment Group. It bundles the 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. The RHO also debuts a new tailgate badge with a rhino head motif. Limited and Limited Longhorn buyers who need maximum bed width can now choose a RamBox delete.

Styling changes are smaller. Tradesman, Black Express, Warlock, and Rebel add a Satin Black Symbol of Protest fender badge. Goldilocks Pearl-Coat and Flame Red Clear-Coat join as late availability colors. Tank Clear-Coat expands across the lineup.

Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
