Interior: Room Beyond the Front Seat

The RAM 1500 cabin can serve as a place to organize a workday or settle in for a longer drive. If adults regularly ride in the back, choose your cab before narrowing down your trim.

• Seating layouts: Front bench-seat configurations accommodate up to six occupants; front bucket-seat layouts seat five.
• Rear passenger space: Crew Cab models provide 44.8 inches of rear legroom, compared with 35.3 inches in the Quad Cab.
• Front-seat comfort: Available equipment includes heated and ventilated front seats, massage functions, and up to 24-way power adjustment on select configurations.
• Additional comfort: Available heated and ventilated reclining rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic temperature control extend comfort throughout the cabin.
• Interior organization: Available in-floor bins, expandable under-seat storage, and a flat-load floor help keep gear organized. Equipment varies by trim and configuration.

Exterior: Bold Looks With Useful Bed Space

The RAM 1500 Full-Size Pickup Truck backs up its substantial stance with practical utility. Choose your layout around what you carry, then consider the appearance and access equipment that fits your routine.

• Conventional bed layouts: Quad Cab models offer a 6-foot-4-inch bed; Crew Cab models offer a 5-foot-7-inch or 6-foot-4-inch bed, depending on trim.
• Cargo-box volume: The shorter bed provides 53.8 cubic feet, while the longer bed provides 61.3 cubic feet.
• Bed equipment: Available adjustable tie-downs, LED bed lighting, a spray-in liner, and a deployable bed step support loading and hauling.
• Separate storage: The available RamBox® cargo management system adds storage outside the cabin. Compare configurations if bed width is a priority.
• Appearance and access: Available packages offer black badging and dark grille treatments, body-color bumpers, a sport performance hood, or power-deployable running boards. Equipment varies by trim and package.

Performance: Choose the Engine for the Job

The RAM 1500 gives shoppers several ways to balance everyday driving, hauling, and performance. The mainstream engine choices include:

• 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 with eTorque: 305 horsepower, suited to shoppers who want a practical starting point for light-duty truck use.
• 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six, standard output: 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, with availability across several core and off-road trims.
• 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 with eTorque: 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, available on select trims for buyers who prefer V8 power.
• 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six, high output: 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, offered in models including Limited, Limited Longhorn, Tungsten, and RHO.

Specialized Performance Models

The 2027 lineup also includes trucks with a more focused performance mission:

• Rumble Bee: A non-eTorque version of the V8 listed above powers a new widebody Quad Cab layout with a short bed.
• Rumble Bee 392 variants: A 6.4-liter HEMI V8 produces 470 horsepower for these muscle-truck models.
• TRX SRT and Rumble Bee SRT: A supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 produces 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque. TRX SRT returns for 2027 with an off-road focus, while Rumble Bee SRT targets street performance.

Transmission, Traction, and Ride

For a truck that carries passengers as well as equipment, the chassis deserves attention alongside engine output.

• Transmission: Eight-speed automatic transmissions serve the lineup.
• Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive availability depends on trim and configuration.
• Rear suspension: A five-link coil-spring design supports the RAM’s balance of working utility and ride comfort.
• Air suspension: Available four-corner air suspension adds height adjustment and load-leveling capability.
• Off-road equipment: Eligible configurations offer an electronic-locking rear differential, skid plates, raised ride height, and terrain-related functions.

2027 RAM 1500 Towing Capacity

The 2027 RAM 1500 towing capacity depends on the complete configuration, not horsepower alone. These examples show why the details matter:

• Maximum-towing configuration: A properly equipped rear-wheel-drive Tradesman Quad Cab with the longer bed, standard-output Hurricane engine, and 3.92 axle ratio can tow up to 11,530 pounds. Its payload rating is 1,870 pounds.
• V8 towing configuration: A properly equipped rear-wheel-drive Tradesman Crew Cab with the short bed, eTorque V8, and the same axle ratio can tow up to 11,370 pounds.
• RHO towing configuration: A properly equipped RHO Crew Cab with the short bed and that axle ratio is rated to tow up to 8,370 pounds.

Match the truck to the trailer’s loaded weight, not its empty weight. Passengers, cargo, accessories, and trailer tongue weight also affect the truck’s usable carrying capacity. Confirm the rating and payload label for the specific vehicle before towing.

Technology: Screens That Earn Their Space

Choose technology around how you use the truck, whether that means finding your way, keeping devices ready, or powering equipment away from home. Availability varies by trim and package.

• Infotainment: Uconnect® systems range from an 8.4-inch display on select entry trims to available 12-inch and 14.5-inch touchscreens.
• Passenger interface: An available 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display provides a separate screen beside the driver.
• Phone charging: Available dual wireless charging pads help keep compatible devices ready without charging cables.
• Driver information: An available head-up display has a 10-inch field of view.
• Onboard power: New available 2-kW capability supplies bed-mounted 120-volt outlets on Pentastar V6 eTorque models.

Trailering Assistance

Available Trailer Tow and Towing Technology groups help with setup, monitoring, and maneuvering on eligible configurations. Package contents vary:

• Braking and tire monitoring: An integrated trailer brake controller supports trailer brake operation, while trailer tire-pressure monitoring helps you keep track of trailer tires.
• Pre-trip checks: A trailer light check function and integrated trailer health monitor help you prepare before departure.
• Backing assistance: Trailer reverse steering control and, on select configurations, reverse guidance help with maneuvering.
• Hitch alignment: Trailer hitch line-up assist helps you position the hitch during hookup.
• Visibility: Available trailer-focused camera views and a digital rearview mirror with tow mode help you monitor what is behind the truck.

Safety: Support for a Full-Size Footprint

The 2027 RAM 1500 includes several standard driver-assistance features across the lineup. These systems support everyday situations such as changing lanes, backing into a space, and maintaining distance in traffic. Additional camera and assistance technology varies by trim or package.

Notable standard safety and driver-assistance features include:

• Active Lane Management.
• Adaptive cruise control.
• Blind-spot Monitoring with trailer coverage and Rear Cross Path detection.
• ParkView® rear backup camera with dynamic gridlines.
• ParkSense® front and rear park assist with automatic reverse stop.

A 360-degree surround-view camera system is standard on Limited, Limited Longhorn, RHO, and Tungsten models and available on select other configurations. Available Hands-free Active Driving Assist is driver assistance, not autonomous driving. Drivers must remain attentive and responsible for vehicle operation, regardless of which systems are equipped.
