Key Features of the 2027 RAM 3500

High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 Engine

The available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine is one of the defining strengths of the 2027 Ram 3500. Built with the kind of durability that makes Cummins diesel powertrains trusted in a wide range of commercial applications, this engine is engineered for serious work. Ram pairs it with the TorqueFlite® Heavy Duty eight-speed automatic transmission to deliver up to 430 maximum available high-output diesel horsepower and up to 1,075 lb-ft of maximum available high-output diesel torque. That torque arrives with authority, helping the truck launch, pull, and maintain confidence under heavy load. Ram also highlights advanced airflow for performance improvements, enhanced cold-start capability, robust components, smart diesel exhaust braking, and simple serviceability. For drivers who tow equipment, livestock trailers, large campers, enclosed trailers, or commercial loads, this powertrain gives the 2027 Ram 3500 the kind of low-end strength that matters most when the job gets demanding.

Maximum Available Towing and Payload Capability

Capability is where the 2027 Ram 3500 earns its heavy-duty reputation. When properly equipped, this truck offers up to 36,610 pounds of maximum available high-output diesel towing capacity, along with up to 18,150 pounds of maximum gas towing capacity. Payload capability is equally important, and the 2027 Ram 3500 delivers up to 7,590 pounds of maximum gas payload and up to 6,050 pounds of maximum diesel payload when properly equipped. Ram also lists a maximum GVWR of 14,000 pounds. These numbers are supported by practical hardware, including heavy-duty four-wheel disc antilock brakes and an available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake to help slow heavy loads with confidence. For owners who tow frequently, the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package includes a factory-installed rear-axle structural crossmember with integrated mounting hardware that can be paired with a hitch. The result is a truck designed not only to pull serious weight, but to make setup and control feel more professional.

Trailer Reverse Steering Control

Backing up with a trailer can be one of the most challenging parts of towing, especially with longer trailers, busy work areas, narrow driveways, or tight launch and loading spaces. The available Trailer Reverse Steering Control system on the 2027 Ram 3500 is designed to make that process easier. Instead of relying only on steering wheel inputs while trying to visualize the trailer angle, the driver can use the trailer steering knob to control the trailer direction while the system controls the truck’s steering wheel. This can reduce stress during low-speed reversing and help drivers place trailers more accurately. The system pairs well with other available towing technologies, including available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring, available Trailer Tow Pages, available Digital Rearview Mirror, and available 360° Surround View Camera. For shoppers considering a 2027 Ram 3500 near Whitefish Bay, WI, this technology is especially useful for owners who tow boats, equipment trailers, utility trailers, or large recreational trailers through a mix of local streets, job sites, and highway routes.

Uconnect® 5 NAV and Available 14.5-Inch Touchscreen

The cabin technology in the 2027 Ram 3500 is designed to keep key information clear and easy to access. The available Uconnect® 5 NAV system places navigation, entertainment, communication, and vehicle controls within reach, while offering up to five personalized driver profiles and tow-specific navigation. Ram also offers the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, giving the cabin a modern command-center feel. Wireless Apple CarPlay® support for your iPhone® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help drivers connect familiar apps, music, podcasts, and communication tools without extra cable clutter. The available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display adds full-color 3D graphics, personalized color options, safety and security alerts, vehicle dynamics, diagnostics, gauge summaries, turn-by-turn navigation, and Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring information. Available Trailer Tow Pages can show features like Trailer Light Check and Trailer Brake Status, while available Off-Road Pages can display pitch, roll, traction control, gear shifting, and other vehicle dynamics. It is technology with a purpose, built around towing confidence and daily convenience.

Premium Interior, Storage, and Work-Ready Utility

The 2027 Ram 3500 proves that heavy-duty capability can come with upscale comfort. Available interiors include premium materials such as leather seats and accents made of real wood and aluminum on Limited models, while the Limited Longhorn® and Laramie® interiors offer distinct style and refinement. Seating flexibility is another advantage, with options that include a 40/20/40 split-folding front bench or available bucket seats, along with three different 60/40 split-folding rear seating configurations. Mega Cab® models add Class-Exclusive Reclining Rear Seats and Class-Exclusive Forward Fold-Flat Rear Seats. Storage and utility are equally thoughtful. The Class-Exclusive available RamBox® Cargo Management System includes two lockable, drainable storage bins with LED lighting, a front driver-side 115-volt power outlet, and remote access via the key fob. Ram 3500 pickups also offer Best-in-Class available onboard power with a 2.4-kilowatt inverter, helping owners power tools or equipment directly from the truck. Available power side running boards, an available Mopar® bed step, a dampened tailgate with available power release, available truck bed lighting, and Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors further support daily usability.
