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 defining strengths of the 2027 Ram 2500. Ram notes that Cummins diesel powertrains are used across a wide range of commercial applications, and that connection matters for drivers who count on durability and consistent performance. In this truck, the engine produces 430 maximum horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 1,075 pound-feet of maximum torque at 1,800 rpm. That low-rpm torque is especially useful when pulling trailers, moving equipment, or managing heavier loads because the truck can deliver strong pulling force without feeling strained. Ram also highlights advanced air flow leading to performance improvements, enhanced cold-start capability, Smart Diesel Exhaust Brake functionality, robust components, and simple serviceability. Properly equipped diesel models can tow up to 20,000 pounds and carry up to 3,600 pounds of maximum diesel payload, giving commercial users and serious truck owners a confident foundation.
TorqueFlite® HD Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission
Power matters, but how that power reaches the road matters just as much. The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine is paired with the TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic transmission, a combination designed to support smooth delivery, confident control, and heavy-duty performance. For drivers who frequently tow through western Kentucky roads, rural highways, jobsite entrances, and boat ramps near Kentucky Lake, a well-matched transmission helps the truck feel composed under changing loads. The 2027 Ram 2500 also offers a 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine with the TorqueFlite® 8-speed transmission for shoppers who prefer gas-powered capability. With gas models, properly equipped maximum towing capacity reaches 17,750 pounds, and Ram 2500 HD Pickups Offer Best-in-Class Payload at 4,580 pounds. Whether you choose gas or diesel, the transmission engineering supports the truck’s ability to move from everyday driving to heavy work with confidence.
Largest-in-Class Available 14.5-Inch Uconnect® Infotainment Touchscreen
The 2027 Ram 2500 brings technology into the cabin in a way that feels practical, modern, and easy to use. The Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch Uconnect® infotainment touchscreen places navigation, entertainment, connected features, and truck settings within clear reach. Available Uconnect® 5 NAV includes up to five personalized driver profiles, tow-specific navigation, full-color 3D navigation, available Ram Connect One Services, wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone®, and wireless Android Auto™ compatibility. Android Auto is also enhanced with Google Gemini, giving drivers a more helpful and streamlined way to use compatible phone features on the road. The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display adds full-color 3D graphics, personalized color options, safety and security alerts, navigation, Trailer Tow Pages, Trailer Light Check, Trailer Brake Status, Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, Gauge Summary, and Vehicle Dynamics and Diagnostics. Together, these displays make the truck feel more intuitive whether you are towing, commuting, or managing a busy workday.
Class-Exclusive Available Rear Auto-Level Air Suspension
The Class-Exclusive Available Rear Auto-Level Air Suspension is a major advantage for shoppers who plan to tow frequently. Hitching a trailer can be time-consuming when truck and trailer heights do not align, but this available system can lower or raise the rear of the truck to help line up the hitch and trailer more efficiently. That added convenience is valuable for owners who connect trailers often, whether hauling construction equipment, livestock, campers, utility trailers, or recreational gear. Ram also supports towing confidence with available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, which allows the driver to use a trailer steering knob while the system controls the truck’s steering wheel during backing maneuvers. Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring can display live readings for up to four trailers in the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. An available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package adds a factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember with integrated mounting hardware for quicker setup with compatible hitches.
Over 100 Standard and Available Safety and Security Features
The 2027 Ram 2500 is built with strength, but it also focuses on confidence. Ram notes that the truck offers over 100 standard and available safety and security features. Class-Exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control can help maintain a driver-selected distance from vehicles ahead, and it can automatically adjust speed down to 0 mph, even with a trailer attached. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking can warn the driver when a collision may be imminent and can apply the brakes to help bring the truck to a complete stop, even with a trailer attached. Available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with newly enhanced Lane Keep Assist can provide a visual alert and help guide the truck back into its lane during unintentional lane drift. Available Drowsy Driver Detection can alert the driver 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. Available camera systems, including the 360° Surround View Camera and Digital Rearview Mirror, further support visibility.
