    Quick Answer

    The 2027 Ram 2500 is a three-quarter-ton heavy-duty pickup sold in Regular Cab, Crew Cab, and Mega Cab bodies with 6 ft 4 in or 8 ft beds, positioned around class-leading diesel torque and a five-link coil rear suspension no rival offers.

    Highlights of the 2027 RAM 2500

    7 highlights

    • The standard 6.4L Hemi V8 delivers 405 hp and 429 lb-ft through a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic and is rated to tow up to 17,740 lbs when properly equipped.
    • A new $835 Payload Upgrade Package raises gas-model GVWR from 10,000 lbs to 11,040 lbs, giving properly configured 2500 Hemi trucks a best-in-class 4,580 lbs of payload.

    Inside the RAM 2500

    What changed for 2027 (and what didn't)

    The headline for 2027 is the Power Wagon Cummins. Ram's off-road 2500 had been gas-only; for 2027 the 6.7L Cummins High Output is a $12,995 option on it, rated at 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft with 19,630 lbs of towing and 2,930 lbs of payload, and fifth-wheel and gooseneck prep is offered on Power Wagon for the first time. Orders opened August 10, 2026, and trucks reach dealers in the third quarter. The second change is the $835 Payload Upgrade Package for Hemi 2500s, which borrows 3500-series frame and leaf-spring hardware to raise GVWR from 10,000 lbs to 11,040 lbs and payload to 4,580 lbs. Cummins 2500 payload also climbs to 3,990 lbs from 3,600 lbs. Smaller moves: the Sport Appearance and Night Edition packages now pair with Level 1 and Level 2 equipment groups, the WARN winch is a standalone option on Rebel and Power Wagon, Tradesman gets a standalone anti-spin differential, and Serrano Green Metallic and Tank Clear-Coat colors arrive later in the year. Engines, transmissions, cabs, beds, and the 12-inch and 14.5-inch Uconnect screens carry over unchanged from 2026.

    Trim ladder and the value story

    Ram has not published a full 2027 price list, so this ladder mixes Cars.com's 2027 configuration data with 2026 base MSRPs, all before destination. The Tradesman opens the range at $48,040 for a 2027 4x2 Regular Cab (2026: $46,855) with the 6.4L Hemi and the eight-speed automatic. Black Express ($50,475 in 2026) adds blacked-out trim on the Tradesman base, Big Horn ($50,605) brings the daily-driver comforts, and Warlock ($53,405) layers on Bilstein shocks, skid plates, an anti-spin rear differential, and 34-inch all-terrain tires. Laramie ($62,310) is where leather, the larger screens, and the Mega Cab option arrive. Rebel and Power Wagon both listed at $69,755 in 2026; the Power Wagon is the serious rock crawler with electronic locking front and rear axles and a disconnecting sway bar, and its new Cummins version starts at $89,560 including destination. Limited and Limited Longhorn top the ladder at $74,320 before options, and a Limited 4x4 Mega Cab reaches $92,735. KBB's 2027 Crew Cab pricing runs from $53,790 (Tradesman) to $77,635 (Limited). The value sweet spot for a working buyer is a Big Horn or Laramie Crew Cab with the Cummins, which adds $12,995 for 2027.

    How it stacks up vs F-250, Silverado 2500 HD, Sierra 2500 HD

    The Ram 2500 wins on diesel torque and loses on peak towing. The Cummins' 1,075 lb-ft beats the Silverado 2500 HD and Sierra 2500 HD Duramax (470 hp, 975 lb-ft) but trails Ford's 6.7L High Output Power Stroke at 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft. The gas story is similar: Ram's 6.4L Hemi at 405 hp and 429 lb-ft is behind Ford's 7.3L (430 hp, 485 lb-ft) and GM's 6.6L (401 hp, 464 lb-ft) on torque, and Ford and GM both run 10-speed automatics against Ram's eight-speed. Max towing: the F-250 reaches 23,000 lbs with a gooseneck and the Silverado 2500 HD 22,430 lbs, versus 20,000 lbs for a Cummins Ram 2500. Where Ram pulls ahead is payload with the new package (4,580 lbs, which Ram calls best-in-class), a five-link coil rear suspension neither rival offers, the 14.5-inch screen and 10.25-inch passenger display, and the original-owner 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty against 5 years or 60,000 miles for the gas Ford and GM trucks. Pricing lands close: a 2026 Silverado 2500 HD Crew Cab starts at $52,195 and a Sierra 2500 HD Crew Cab at $52,995, against $53,790 for a 2027 Ram 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab on KBB.

    • The Cummins option costs $12,995 for 2027, up from $12,595 in 2026, and pushes a Power Wagon to $89,560 before options.
    • Ford's High Output Power Stroke makes 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft, 70 hp and 125 lb-ft more than the Cummins.
    • Ram's eight-speed automatic has two fewer ratios than the 10-speed automatics in the Ford and GM heavy-duty trucks.

    Frequently Asked Questions about the 2027 RAM 2500

    Two engines. The standard 6.4L Hemi V8 makes 405 hp and 429 lb-ft and pairs with a TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed automatic. The optional 6.7L Cummins High Output turbodiesel inline-six makes 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft through a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed and costs $12,995 for 2027. Choose the Hemi for the highest payload (up to 4,580 lbs with the upgrade package) and the Cummins for the highest towing (up to 20,000 lbs).
    Three things matter. The Power Wagon gets the 6.7L Cummins High Output for the first time, starting at $89,560 including destination, with fifth-wheel and gooseneck prep now available on that trim. An $835 Payload Upgrade Package raises Hemi 2500 GVWR from 10,000 lbs to 11,040 lbs for up to 4,580 lbs of payload, and Cummins 2500 payload rises to 3,990 lbs. Smaller updates include Sport Appearance and Night Edition packages on Level 1 and Level 2 groups, a standalone WARN winch on Rebel and Power Wagon, and two new colors later in the year.
    Because it is too heavy to be regulated as a light-duty vehicle. Federal fuel economy rules do not apply to pickups with a gross vehicle weight rating above 8,500 lbs, so the EPA does not test them and no MPG figure appears on the window sticker. The Ram 2500 carries a 10,000 lbs GVWR (11,040 lbs with the Payload Upgrade Package), which is why it, the F-250, and the Silverado 2500 HD all lack ratings.
    Up to 20,000 lbs of towing with the Cummins and up to 17,740 lbs with the 6.4L Hemi, when properly equipped. Maximum payload is 4,580 lbs on a Hemi truck with the $835 Payload Upgrade Package and 3,990 lbs on a Cummins truck. Ratings drop with 4x4, longer cabs, and higher trims: the Cummins Power Wagon is rated at 19,630 lbs of towing and 2,930 lbs of payload, and Ram's published maximums come from specific gooseneck and fifth-wheel configurations.
    Three cabs and two beds. The Regular Cab seats two and comes with the 8 ft bed. The Crew Cab seats up to six with a 6 ft 4 in bed standard and an 8 ft bed optional on most trims. The Mega Cab, offered on Laramie, Limited, and Limited Longhorn, uses the 6 ft 4 in bed. Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are both offered, with 4x4 standard on Power Wagon.
    The ladder runs Tradesman, Black Express, Big Horn, Warlock, Laramie, Rebel, Power Wagon, Limited Longhorn, and Limited. Cars.com lists 2027 pricing from $48,040 for a Tradesman 4x2 Regular Cab to $92,735 for a Limited 4x4 Mega Cab before destination; KBB's 2027 Crew Cab pricing runs $53,790 (Tradesman) to $77,635 (Limited), with Rebel at $73,070 and Power Wagon at $76,565. The Power Wagon Cummins is the only 2027 price Ram has published: $89,560 including destination.
    Ram made adaptive cruise control and Forward Collision Warning-Plus with automatic emergency braking standard on the current-generation Heavy Duty when it launched for 2025, and that carries into 2027. The Power Wagon press kit also lists blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, pedestrian detection, and rear cross path detection as standard on that trim. Front and rear parking sensors are standard on the Power Wagon as well.
    Basic coverage is 3 years or 36,000 miles. Ram's traditional powertrain terms are 5 years or 60,000 miles for gas trucks and 5 years or 100,000 miles for Cummins diesels. Starting with 2026 models Ram added a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty covering the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials, and axles, but it applies only to the original retail owner and reverts to the traditional terms if the truck is sold. KBB lists the 10-year coverage on 2027 trucks; confirm eligibility on the specific unit before signing.
