2027 Ram 2500 Review


Shoppers who haul equipment trailers, plow driveways through New England winters, and want a cab that feels as good on Route 20 as it does on a job site tend to have a clear list of priorities: serious towing numbers, a truck that works every day, and technology that makes long hours easier. The 2027 Ram 2500 answers that list.

This 2027 Ram 2500 review covers the numbers, the cabin, and the tech, with help from Harr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR), serving drivers near Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.

Key Takeaways:

  • Diesel muscle: The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 pound-feet of torque (the twisting force that gets heavy loads moving).
  • Payload leader: The 6.4L HEMI® V8 with the Payload Upgrade Package delivers a best-in-class 4,580 pounds of payload (the weight of cargo the truck can carry in the bed and cab).
  • Tech that fits the job: The available 14.5-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen is the largest in its class and includes tow-specific navigation.

Firsthand Accounts

Drivers who spend time behind the wheel of the Ram 2500 often point to the same highlights. Many mention how smoothly the eight-speed automatic shifts, how quiet the cabin stays under load, and how roomy the crew cab feels for passengers and gear.

Shoppers who tow regularly tend to comment on how confident the truck feels with a trailer attached, while others note how easy the large touchscreen is to read at a glance.

2027 Ram 2500 Engines and Performance

The 2027 Ram 2500 offers two powertrains, each paired with a TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission.

Spec 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 6.4L HEMI® V8
Max Horsepower 430 hp @ 2,800 RPM 405 hp @ 5,600 RPM
Max Torque 1,075 lb-ft @ 1,800 RPM 429 lb-ft @ 4,000 RPM
Max Towing 20,000 lb 17,750 lb
Max Payload 3,600 lb 4,580 lb (Best-in-Class)

For the contractor hauling materials or the farmer towing livestock, these two powertrains cover both sides of the heavy-duty equation: Cummins torque for maximum towing or HEMI® V8 muscle for maximum cargo.

For 2027, Power Wagon models can be ordered with the High-Output Cummins for the first time. Heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes come on the truck, and Crew Cab models with the 8-foot bed can be ordered with the largest available fuel tank in the class at 50 gallons, which means more miles between stops.

2027 Ram 2500 Driving Experience

Ram Heavy Duty trucks pair a commanding exterior with an interior built for long shifts. Seating options include a 40/20/40 split-folding front bench or available bucket seats, plus three 60/40 split-folding rear configurations.

Mega Cab® models add class-exclusive reclining rear seats and class-exclusive forward fold-flat rear seats. Rear passengers get a 115-volt outlet for powering devices and a center console rear cubby bin for stashing small items.

The Ram 2500 carries over 100 standard and available safety and security features. Three standouts:

  • Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking: Alerts the driver when an accident is imminent and can bring the truck to a complete stop, even with a trailer attached.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (class-exclusive as standard): Keeps a driver-selected distance from the vehicle ahead and can adjust speed all the way down to 0 mph, even with a trailer attached.
  • LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist: Available, and it shows a visual alert and helps guide the truck back into its lane after an unintentional drift.

Drivers who log long hours get a comfortable cabin, flexible seating, and layers of driver-assist technology that add peace of mind on the road.

2027 Ram 2500 Technology Features

The available 14.5-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV is the largest infotainment screen in the three-quarter-ton class and serves as the hub for navigation, media, and vehicle controls. Features accessible through this display include:

  • Up to five personalized driver profiles
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ (enhanced with Google Gemini)
