Properly equipped, the 2027 Ram 2500 tows up to 20,000 pounds with the 6.7L Cummins High Output turbo diesel, which produces 430 horsepower and a best-in-class 1,075 lb-ft of torque through a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic. For the heaviest trailers, the available factory fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep group makes hitch installation clean and simple.

The standard 6.4L HEMI V8 is no afterthought, towing up to 17,740 pounds when properly equipped with 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft on tap. Either way, a standard integrated trailer brake controller and trailer sway control are along for every pull.

In standard form the 2027 Ram 2500 carries up to 3,930 pounds of payload, enough for pallets of material, a bed full of tools, or a slide-in load between St. Louis job sites. The big 2027 news is the available Payload Upgrade Package for HEMI-powered trucks, which adds Ram 3500 frame and rear-spring hardware, lifts GVWR to 11,040 pounds, and raises maximum payload to 4,580 pounds.

That package is offered across Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited, so a work truck and a leather-lined truck can both carry the bigger number. Available rear auto-leveling air suspension helps keep loaded trucks sitting level.

  • Up to 3,930 pounds of standard payload
  • New Payload Upgrade Package: up to 4,580 pounds
  • Package raises GVWR to 11,040 pounds
  • Ram 3500 frame and rear-spring hardware included
