Pulling power comes in several forms across the 2027 Ram 1500 engine lineup. The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine produces 305 horsepower, and the available 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo inline six-cylinder (I6) engine raises output to 420 horsepower. The available high-output version of the Hurricane I6 engine delivers 540 horsepower, while the available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine makes 395 horsepower. Exclusive to the TRX SRT® trim, the supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine generates 777 horsepower. Maximum towing reaches 11,530 pounds when properly equipped with the 3.0L Hurricane I6 engine, compared with 11,470 pounds for the HEMI V8 engine, 9,480 pounds for the high-output Hurricane I6 engine, and 8,100 pounds for both the Pentastar V6 engine and the supercharged V8 engine. Our Ram 1500 engines and towing page covers each powertrain and its tow ratings in depth.
Off-road and street performance models round out the 2027 Ram 1500 lineup. For trail use, the Warlock® and Rebel® trims come standard with a 1-inch suspension lift and Bilstein® performance shocks. The RHO trim pairs the high-output Hurricane I6 engine with Bilstein Black Hawk® e2 active off-road performance suspension, and the TRX SRT adds its supercharged V8 engine to that foundation. On the street, the Rumble Bee trim sets the HEMI V8 engine in a shortened chassis with a lowered ride height. The available Active-Level™ four-corner air suspension automatically lowers the truck to help reduce drag.
