2027 Ram 2500
Nine trims, two engines, one decision. Here's how the 2027 Ram 2500 lineup breaks down.
Nine trims sounds like a lot to sort through, but the 2027 Ram 2500 lineup really splits into four groups: work-focused (Tradesman, Black Express, Warlock), the volume choice (Big Horn), off-road specialists (Power Wagon, Rebel), and comfort-forward trims (Laramie, Limited Longhorn, Limited). The standard 6.4L HEMI V8 and available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel give buyers separate engine and trim decisions; compare the specific truck’s equipment before choosing.
Premier Cape Cod stocks the Ram 2500 lineup in Hyannis; compare the work trims, off-road hardware and cabin finishes against your engine, passenger and trailer requirements before choosing a vehicle. Match the cab and drivetrain first, then weigh the comfort, technology and suspension differences between trims; a Cape contractor and a household using the truck for family towing can value different equipment at the same engine rating. See the 2027 Ram 2500 Research Hub for the full cluster.
Tradesman engine choices: standard 6.4L HEMI V8 or available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Drivetrain: 4x2 or 4x4.
Cab and bed: Regular Cab or Crew Cab.
The fleet-ready base trim: hard-wearing materials, plus every engine and capability option the 2500 offers. An anti-spin rear differential is available as a standalone option for 2027, without requiring a higher equipment group.
Black Express engine choices: standard 6.4L HEMI V8 or available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Drivetrain: 4x4 only.
Cab and bed: Crew Cab only.
Builds on Tradesman with a blacked-out exterior treatment for buyers who want a purposeful look without stepping into higher trim pricing.
Warlock engine choices: standard 6.4L HEMI V8 or available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Drivetrain: 4x4 only.
Cab and bed: Crew Cab only.
Adds dark exterior accents and off-road-styled visual cues over the Tradesman base, a step below Rebel on price with a similar attitude.
Big Horn engine choices: standard 6.4L HEMI V8 or available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Drivetrain: 4x4.
Cab and bed: Crew Cab.
Step up from Tradesman and you get body-color trim outside, a nicer cabin, and real technology content, all short of full leather pricing. It's the trim on our lot in Hyannis, tagged $64,780-$68,235.
Available engines: 6.4L HEMI V8 (standard), High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel (available for buyers choosing diesel torque).
Drivetrain: 4x4 only.
Cab and bed: Crew Cab, 6-foot, 4-inch bed only.
Ram's benchmark off-road trim. It comes loaded with trail hardware: locking diffs front and rear, Bilstein shocks, a front sway bar that disconnects on command, Hill Descent Control, and 34-inch rubber on 20-inch Satin Black wheels. The Cummins diesel joins the options sheet here for the first time in the nameplate's history, along with fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep and a 31-gallon tank good for an estimated 600 miles.
Rebel engine choices: standard 6.4L HEMI V8 or available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Drivetrain: 4x4 only.
Cab and bed: Crew Cab.
Rebel sits above Power Wagon in the lineup, pairing trail-ready hardware with a more street-focused look. Standard rear electronic-locking differential, available Sport Performance Hood.
Laramie engine choices: standard 6.4L HEMI V8 or available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Drivetrain: 4x4.
Cab and bed: Crew Cab.
Leather-trimmed seating, added technology, and chrome exterior detailing mark the shift toward a dual-purpose truck. RamBox storage gets easier to option for 2027, and body-color fender flares join the options list.
Limited Longhorn engine choices: standard 6.4L HEMI V8 or available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Drivetrain: 4x4.
Cab and bed: Crew Cab.
Genuine wood, premium leather, and Western-styled badges give this one a distinct ranch look, riding on the same capable 2500 platform underneath.
Limited engine choices: standard 6.4L HEMI V8 or available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Drivetrain: 4x4.
Cab and bed: Crew Cab.
The top trim: real wood and aluminum trim over leather, a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 NAV screen, a 12-inch digital cluster, and standard or available Harman Kardon audio.
| Trim | Drivetrain | Cab | Off-Road Hardware | Key Tech |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tradesman | 4x2 or 4x4 | Regular or Crew | not std | 12-in Uconnect 5 (available) |
| Black Express | 4x4 only | Crew | not std | 12-in Uconnect 5 (available) |
| Warlock | 4x4 only | Crew | not std | 12-in Uconnect 5 (available) |
| Big Horn | 4x4 | Crew | not std | 12-in Uconnect 5 |
| Power Wagon | 4x4 only | Crew, 6'4" bed | Locking diffs, disconnect sway bar, 34-in tires (standard) | 12-in Uconnect 5 std, 14.5-in available |
| Rebel | 4x4 only | Crew | Rear locking diff (standard) | 14.5-in Uconnect 5 (available) |
| Laramie | 4x4 | Crew | not std | 14.5-in Uconnect 5 (available) |

The lineup reaches up to 17,750 pounds of gas towing or 20,000 pounds with diesel when properly equipped; those maxima do not apply to every truck. Gas payload reaches up to 4,580 pounds with the appropriate Payload Upgrade Package. Engine, cab, drivetrain, equipment and vehicle ratings all matter alongside trim; use the actual truck’s labels and towing guide when matching a trailer.
Big Horn is the volume choice: body-color trim, a comfortable cabin, and the technology most Cape Cod buyers actually use, without paying for leather. Laramie adds leather-trimmed seating, more chrome, and for 2027 expanded RamBox storage and body-color fender flares. If you want the truck to double as a daily driver that also looks the part in the driveway, Laramie is the step up; if the truck is primarily a tool, Big Horn covers the same capability for less.
Both are 4x4-only off-road trims, but they're built for different terrain. Power Wagon carries the deeper hardware: locking differentials front and rear, a disconnecting front sway bar, and Hill Descent Control, all standard, with the Cummins diesel available for buyers combining trail hardware with diesel torque. Rebel shares much of that DNA but leans toward on-road presence with a sportier stance and a standard rear locker rather than the full front-and-rear locking setup. If you actually crawl rock or need maximum articulation, Power Wagon; if you want the off-road look and real capability for weekend trips without giving up everyday comfort, Rebel.
Both sit at the top of the lineup with the same technology content. The difference is aesthetic: Limited Longhorn carries a ranch-heritage design direction with Western-influenced badging, while Limited keeps a cleaner, more conventional luxury look. Neither gives up any capability to the other.
Big Horn is the trim most Cape Cod buyers land on. It carries the comfort and technology features people actually use daily without stepping into leather-trim pricing, and it's the trim Premier Cape Cod has in stock in Hyannis. Every step up from there adds something specific.
| Step Up | What You Gain | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|
| Tradesman to Big Horn | Body-color exterior trim, a more refined cabin, standard technology upgrades | Drivers wanting Big Horn’s body-color trim and technology |
| Big Horn to Laramie | Leather-trimmed seating, more chrome, the larger available touchscreen | Buyers who want a near-Limited daily-driver feel |
| Any trim to Power Wagon or Rebel | Genuine off-road hardware: locking differentials, Hill Descent Control, all-terrain tires, now with Cummins diesel available on Power Wagon | Buyers who actually leave pavement |
| Laramie to Limited or Limited Longhorn | The full technology suite plus real wood and aluminum interior accents | The near-luxury ceiling of the lineup |
If you primarily haul job-site equipment on a budget: Tradesman with the standard HEMI V8 covers the work without the extras.
If you want the best all-around daily truck: Big Horn is the volume pick for a reason, and Premier Cape Cod stocks it in Hyannis for buyers comparing daily work and passenger needs.
If you tow heavy loads regularly: a properly equipped Cummins diesel truck can tow up to 20,000 pounds; Laramie or Limited pairs it with a finished cabin.
If you need real off-road capability, including snow: Power Wagon brings locking differentials and standard Snowplow Prep wiring, now with diesel torque for 2027.
If you want a daily driver with trail credibility: Rebel balances on-road comfort with real hardware.
If you want the nicest cabin Ram builds on this platform: Limited or Limited Longhorn, depending on which design language you prefer.

The right trim usually follows the work. A Tradesman or Big Horn with the Payload Upgrade Package suits a Barnstable or Marion landscaping crew; Power Wagon's off-road hardware is built for permitted oversand runs at Sandy Neck; and a Laramie or Limited makes more sense for a South Shore owner whose truck doubles as the family tow vehicle on Route 3.
Trim pricing depends on the particular truck's engine, cab and equipment; Big Horn vehicles at Premier Cape Cod are priced from $64,780 to $68,235.
Yes. The nine trims offer the standard 6.4L HEMI V8 and available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel, including Power Wagon.
Towing depends on the complete configuration, including engine, cab, drivetrain and equipment. A properly equipped Cummins diesel Ram 2500 reaches up to 20,000 pounds, but that is a lineup maximum rather than a rating for every truck.
Black Express, Warlock, Power Wagon, and Rebel are 4x4 only. Tradesman is available in 4x2 or 4x4.
Big Horn is the trim name to use when shopping Premier Cape Cod's Ram 2500 lineup. Compare the truck's cab, engine and equipment rather than a regional badge; the useful decision for a Cape buyer is whether its comfort and technology meet daily work and passenger needs.
Big Horn includes a 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, body-color exterior trim and a Crew Cab.
No, the Payload Upgrade Package is available on Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Limited and Limited Longhorn, rather than every trim. Black Express, Warlock, Power Wagon and Rebel are outside that list; verify the particular vehicle's equipment and payload label before choosing a truck for heavier Cape work.
