Every 2027 Ram 2500 rides on heavy-duty four-wheel disc brakes, with an available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake on diesel models to help control descent and deceleration when hauling heavy loads downhill.
As a heavy-duty pickup, the 2027 Ram 2500 is not EPA fuel-economy rated the way lighter trucks are. What is confirmed: Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed offer a best-in-class available 50-gallon fuel tank, extending range between fill-ups for long-haul work. The diesel Power Wagon carries a 31-gallon tank rated for an estimated 600 miles of range on a single fill.
Up front, buyers choose between a 40/20/40 split-folding bench and bucket seats; the rear comes in three different 60/40 split-folding layouts. The Mega Cab configuration adds two rear-seat features nothing else in the lineup offers: seats that recline and seats that fold flat forward. Upholstery spans durable cloth on the work trims up through leather with real wood and aluminum accents on Limited and Limited Longhorn.
| Feature | Tradesman | Big Horn | Power Wagon | Limited |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Touchscreen | available 12-in | 12-in standard | 12-in standard, 14.5-in available | 14.5-in |
| Locking differentials | not std | not std | front and rear, standard | not std |
| Adaptive Cruise Control | standard | standard | standard | standard |
| Upholstery | cloth | cloth/available upgrades | cloth/available upgrades | leather with wood and aluminum accents |
Adaptive Cruise Control is class-exclusive and standard across the entire 2027 Ram 2500 lineup, regardless of trim.
Standard and available safety content runs deep on the 2027 Ram 2500, with well over 100 individual features across the lineup. Standard equipment includes Blind Spot Monitoring, Hill Descent Control, and class-exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control that can bring the truck to a complete stop in traffic, even while towing. Available systems include Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with enhanced Lane Keep Assist, Drowsy Driver Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera.
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Basic | 3 years / 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain | 10 years / 100,000 miles |
| Corrosion (rust-through) | 3 years / unlimited miles |
See the 2027 Ram 2500 Service and Maintenance page for intervals and ownership costs.
| Spec | What It Means |
|---|---|
| 17,750 vs 20,000 lb towing | A 2,250-lb gap between gas and diesel: the difference between a large travel trailer and a serious equipment or livestock trailer |
| 4,580-lb best-in-class gas payload | Enough for a loaded utility trailer tongue weight plus several passengers and gear, with the Payload Upgrade Package |
| 50-gallon available fuel tank | Fewer stops on long hauls to job sites or camp, on Crew Cab 8-foot-bed models |
What these numbers mean depends on where the truck works. A Marion landscaper, or a Falmouth crew working the properties around Falmouth Inner Harbor, loading the bed with stone uses the up-to-4,580-lb gas payload (Payload Upgrade Package) every day; a Plymouth contractor with a long daily loop to Cape job sites leans on the 50-gallon tank available on Crew Cab 8-foot-bed models; and on Cape Cod, where salt air and winter road salt come with the territory, the 3-year unlimited-mileage corrosion coverage is worth reading closely. Barnstable and South Shore plow crews start from standard Snowplow Prep on every 2027 Ram 2500.
430 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 1,075 lb-ft of torque at 1,800 rpm from the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Up to 11,040 pounds with the new Payload Upgrade Package, up from 10,000 pounds on prior configurations.
No. As a heavy-duty pickup above the applicable weight threshold, the Ram 2500 is not required to carry an EPA city/highway/combined fuel-economy rating.
Up to 50 gallons, best-in-class available, on Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed. The diesel Power Wagon carries a 31-gallon tank rated for an estimated 600-mile range.
Yes, it's standard and class-exclusive across the entire lineup.
3 years/36,000 miles basic, 10 years/100,000 miles on the powertrain, and unlimited-mileage corrosion protection for 3 years.
20-inch Satin Black wheels with 34-inch all-terrain tires, standard.
