The 2027 RAM 3500 exists for the jobs where you need the highest level of power and capability. Dual rear wheel configurations and a max GVWR of 14,000 lbs turn this into the heaviest hitter in the RAM lineup. Our team at A. M. Maus and Son in Kimball, MN, is breaking down everything you need to know about this heavy-duty hauler.

Performance Features

A full trim lineup, from the work-ready Tradesman trim through the range-topping Limited Longhorn trim, shares a standard 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 rated at 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, paired to a TorqueFlite® HD 8HP75 eight-speed automatic. Choose the optional 6.7-liter Cummins® High-Output turbo diesel inline-six and output jumps to 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque. New for 2027, 4x4 single rear wheel Regular Cab and Crew Cab trucks equipped with the HEMI V8 gain a maximum GVWR of 11,440 lbs, a 400-lb increase over last year. Where lighter-duty trucks lean on coil springs, this truck sticks with a proven Hotchkiss® leaf-spring rear axle built to carry heavier, more consistent loads. An available supplemental air suspension system adds load-leveling control for drivers who tow or haul near the upper limit.

Safety Features

Hauling heavier loads means seeing everything around you, and the 2027 RAM 3500 delivers on that front. ParkSense® front and rear park assist and Blind-spot Monitoring with trailer coverage come standard beginning on the Big Horn and Laramie trims respectively, while adaptive cruise control rides standard across the entire lineup. Every one of these new RAM trucks also includes a ParkView® rear backup camera with dynamic gridlines, center lines, and zoom for a clearer picture than a standard rearview image, and LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist is available lineup-wide.

Towing Features

Properly equipped, the 2027 RAM 3500 with the 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 tows up to 18,150 lbs and carries up to 7,590 lbs of payload, while the 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output turbo diesel raises maximum towing all the way to 36,610 lbs. Dual rear wheel configurations add stability under the heaviest loads, and an available 12.0-inch rear axle backs up the Max Towing Package for diesel Crew Cab and Mega Cab trucks. The available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package provides factory installed hardware that can be paired with a hitch for easy towing for your largest equipment.
