2027 Ram 3500 6.7L Cummins High Output Turbo Diesel V
The available 6.7L Cummins High Output turbo diesel is why the 2027 Ram 3500 leads conversations about maximum towing: 430 horsepower and a best-in-class 1,075 lb-ft of torque, paired with the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed. Properly equipped dually configurations tow up to 37,020 pounds, this year's new high.

Choosing the Right 2027 Ram 3500 Engine V
Choose the HEMI if payload rules your work, if trips are shorter, or if up-front cost matters most; it carries the heaviest bed loads and keeps things simple. Choose the Cummins if you tow above roughly the HEMI's 18,140-pound ceiling, cover long miles, or want the strongest resale story in the segment.
Both engines offer 4x2 or 4x4 and single or dual rear wheels, so the driveline follows the engine decision naturally. Our team at Glendale CDJR will run the numbers on your actual trailer before you commit.
- HEMI V8: maximum payload and lower cost of entry
- Cummins HO: maximum towing and long-haul strength
- Both pair with TorqueFlite eight-speed automatics
- SRW or DRW with either engine
- 4x2 and 4x4 drivelines available
