| Power Wagon | 20-inch Satin Black, standard | 34-inch all-terrain, standard |
| Other trims | Sized per trim; ask our team for the current build sheet | Sized per trim |
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. For the fuel-capacity comparison, Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed offer an available 50-gallon fuel tank on the specified configuration, 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 standard across the entire 2027 Ram 2500 lineup, letting work-truck buyers evaluate it without moving up a trim.
Standard and available safety content runs deep on the 2027 Ram 2500, with well over 100 individual features across the lineup. Review Blind Spot Monitoring and Hill Descent Control on the selected truck’s equipment record, alongside standard Adaptive Cruise Control for following-distance assistance that can bring the truck to a complete stop in traffic, even while towing. Available systems include Forward crash 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 |
| Warranty documents | Review the specific truck's warranty booklet and maintenance records with the service team |
| 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 |
| Up to 4,580-lb gas payload when properly equipped | 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.
A useful specification comparison keeps the engine, cab and equipment record attached to the same vehicle. Choose the truck whose individual ratings meet the job before weighing its purchase terms.
For a specification-led Ram 2500 purchase, Premier Transparency keeps the numbers in the proposal visible as well as the vehicle’s ratings. Review KBB trade values and all available incentives, rates, rebates and lease residuals 24/7/365. Keep the trade-in allowance and lender payoff separate. The amount financed should describe the same truck whose engine and load limits you have checked, with optional products identified separately.
Premier Pure Price has used negotiation-free pricing since 1995. “We price our cars, not our customers” accompanies the group’s stated CarGurus, Kelley Blue Book and Autotrader market comparisons. Premier Companies is locally and family-owned since 1979. Under the Premier People Promise, staff are paid without commission and the same experience continues through ownership, including when the truck needs service support.
Premier Personalization, Pure & Simple supports three ways to shop: 100% remote, in person or a combination. Shop online to identify the Ram, value your trade, choose a payment plan and apply for credit. A showroom measurement can resolve a fit question before you buy online. Premier can deliver anywhere, coast to coast, with the truck and transaction arrangements confirmed together.
Yes. Premier Personalization, Pure & Simple lets the physical specification check and remote buying form one purchase. Keep measurements, cab and engine details with the proposal so the same truck remains under review. Online trade valuation and credit application can follow the visit, with coast-to-coast delivery arrangements confirmed for the selected vehicle.
The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel produces 430 horsepower at 2,800 rpm and 1,075 lb-ft at 1,800 rpm. Compare those engine outputs separately from the selected truck’s trailer and payload limits. The TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic accompanies the diesel; power figures alone do not establish the suitability of a loaded combination.
Maximum GVWR is 11,040 pounds with the Payload Upgrade Package. GVWR limits the loaded truck, including its occupants, equipment, cargo and carried trailer hitch load; it is different from trailer weight. Read the actual vehicle labels and all applicable ratings before planning a job rather than apply the lineup maximum to every configuration.
No. This heavy-duty pickup is above the weight class covered by ordinary EPA city, highway and combined fuel-economy labels. Compare the actual engine, fuel requirements and working use when estimating expense. Do not borrow an MPG figure from a lighter Ram or treat fuel-tank capacity as a guaranteed distance between stops.
A 50-gallon tank is available on Crew Cab trucks with the eight-foot bed. Identify the chosen vehicle’s actual cab, bed and tank equipment before comparing stops on a work route. Tank capacity describes fuel carried; trailer load, driving conditions and the engine’s consumption determine how far that particular fill will take the truck.
Yes, Adaptive Cruise Control is standard on Ram 2500 trucks. Have its controls and operating limits demonstrated in the vehicle you select, keeping attention and responsibility with the driver. The system’s following-distance assistance does not establish adequate trailer capacity or guarantee it can manage every traffic, road or visibility condition.
The basic warranty is three years or 36,000 miles. Review the selected truck’s warranty booklet with the service team for the terms and exclusions applying to a concern. Keep maintenance and usage records, including its engine and towing duties; a model-level coverage period does not establish that every potential repair is covered.
Power Wagon’s specified standard wheels are 20-inch Satin Black units with 34-inch all-terrain tires. Inspect the tires and wheels on the individual truck, especially when considering a used example or fitted accessories. Wheel appearance does not independently establish tire condition, loading suitability or the other operating limits that apply to the vehicle.
Ask the team for the equipment record of the exact Ram 2500 you are considering, then measure the relevant space on that truck during a visit. Cab, bed and accessories affect practical fit. Bring the garage, tool or load requirement you need to resolve rather than assume a general model description supplies every usable dimension.
