Whether you are comparing diesel and gas powertrains, researching fifth-wheel towing, looking for work-ready upfit potential, or simply interested in a heavy-duty truck with premium technology, the Ram 3500 deserves a close look.
At John Amato Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we know many shoppers want a truck that can handle professional demands while still offering comfort for daily driving, road trips, and crew transportation. For drivers serving Milwaukee, Shorewood, and Whitefish Bay, the 2027 Ram 3500 stands out because it blends proven heavy-duty muscle with thoughtful features that make hard work easier. From its available High-Output Cummins diesel engine to its available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, this truck is designed to support strength, control, and convenience in one commanding package.
Heavy-Duty Power Built for Serious Work
The centerpiece of the 2027 Ram 3500 story is capability. Ram offers the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine, paired with the TorqueFlite Heavy Duty eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain is engineered for commercial-grade durability and confident pulling power, producing up to 430 horsepower and up to 1,075 lb-ft of torque when properly equipped. For drivers who routinely tow large trailers, equipment, livestock, or recreational loads, that torque rating is especially meaningful because it supports strong low-rpm pulling performance.
For shoppers who prefer gas power, the 6.4L HEMI V8 engine remains an important part of the Ram 3500 lineup. It offers strong payload capability and a familiar, responsive driving feel. The 2027 Ram 3500 can deliver up to 7,590 pounds of maximum gas payload capacity when properly equipped, which makes it a smart match for hauling tools, materials, cargo, and other heavy items in the bed. The gas engine is also paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, helping deliver smooth power and dependable operation.
- Available diesel strength: Up to 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque with the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine when properly equipped.

Towing Features That Add Confidence
The 2027 Ram 3500 is not only about raw ratings. It also offers technology and hardware designed to make towing more manageable. The available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package includes factory-installed structural support and integrated mounting hardware, which can simplify setup for serious trailering needs. Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control is another helpful feature, allowing the driver to use a trailer steering knob while the system manages the truck’s steering input during reversing. For drivers who have backed a large trailer into a tight space, that kind of assistance can make a real difference.
Ram also offers available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, which can display live tire pressure readings for up to four trailers through the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display. That means key trailer information can stay within view without adding extra guesswork. Available trailer tow pages, trailer light check, and trailer brake status information further support drivers who want to stay informed before and during a tow.
