Lucas Jeep Chrysler Dodge RAM
Straight answers
The questions South Jersey buyers actually ask about the 2027 Ram 1500.
These are the questions that come up most across the desk in Lumberton, answered the way we would answer them in person. If you want the range end to end, start on the 2027 Ram 1500 page; the trim-by-trim ladder sits on the trims page, and all the published numbers are collected on the specs page.
Some 2027 allocation has reached Lumberton already, and there is still real depth in the outgoing year, so both are shoppable side by side right now. Rumble Bee deliveries with the 5.7L HEMI V8 begin in the fourth quarter of 2026; the 392, the 392 Track Pack and the SRT follow across the first half of 2027. Check what is on the ground today.
That is the Tradesman. It opens the range at $42,375 MSRP, a figure quoted before the $2,795 destination charge and before tax, title, license, dealer fees or a single option box, and the final number is set here rather than by Ram. In practice, cab style, box length and drivetrain swing the price further than the badge on the tailgate does.
Yes. This early in a model year it is frequently the quicker way to end up with the exact specification you had in mind, and there are 2026 trucks on the lot in Lumberton today. Ram does not clear the old year out to make room for the new one, so the two ranges sit alongside each other for a while.
No. MSRP is quoted before destination, and the destination charge on the 2027 Ram 1500 is $2,795. It is added to the price of the truck, along with tax, title, license and dealer fees.
Four in the lineup proper: the 3.6L Pentastar V6, the Standard-Output and High-Output versions of the 3.0L Hurricane, and the 5.7L HEMI V8. A supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 is fitted to the TRX SRT and the Rumble Bee SRT. All of them use an eight-speed automatic.
Power and purpose. The Standard-Output makes 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft, tows up to 11,530 lbs properly equipped, and runs on regular fuel. The High-Output makes 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft, tows up to 9,480 lbs, and asks for premium. If towing is the priority, the Standard-Output engine is the one to specify, and it is cheaper to feed.
Yes. It is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre gas inline-six, offered in a class where most rivals fit a V6 or a V8. The Standard-Output version out-torques the 5.7L HEMI V8 by 59 lb-ft.
Ram publishes 3.4 seconds to 60 mph, an 11.6-second quarter mile and a 170 mph top speed, the last from computer-simulated data. It makes 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft from a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8.
Over 50 inches of combined available digital display area. That total takes in the central Uconnect touchscreen, the driver’s digital cluster, and on trucks ordered with it, a separate screen in front of the passenger. Which of those a particular truck actually carries is spelled out on its build sheet.
A Class-Exclusive Four-Corner Active-Level air suspension system is available. It raises and lowers ride height on demand, which is genuinely useful for hitching a trailer at a Shore boat ramp and for clearing a rutted Pine Barrens fire road afterward.
Ram counts more than 100 standard and available safety and security features across the range. In day-to-day use it is the cameras and the blind-spot monitoring that owners here mention first, because both do their best work the moment you are backing a trailer down a crowded ramp.
They answer the same question at two very different price points. The RHO runs the High-Output Hurricane inline-six at 540 horsepower on a factory Bilstein e2 adaptive shock system, and it is rated separately at 8,370 lbs of towing and 1,530 pounds of payload when properly equipped. The TRX SRT goes further still, with the supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 making 777 horsepower from a $99,995 starting MSRP. For a buyer who wants to drive hard off pavement without spending six figures, the RHO is the sensible half of that pair.
Tungsten sits at the top of the mainstream range with the richest cabin materials in the lineup. Limited and Limited Longhorn sit just below it, and Laramie is where the cabin first changes character.
It is a blacked-out four-wheel-drive trim running the mild-hybrid version of the 3.6L Pentastar V6. EPA rates it 17 city, 18 highway, 17 combined, with fuel costing an estimated $3,600 a year. Regular unleaded is all it asks for, so it is cheaper to run than the V8 trims it is styled to look like.

EPA estimates put the annual spread between $2,800 for a two-wheel-drive 3.6L V6 and $6,350 for the supercharged 6.2L V8. Required fuel grade also changes with the engine, which widens the real-world gap beyond what the mpg numbers on their own would suggest. Figures from fueleconomy.gov.
The benefit lands on the undercarriage, not the engine. Winter brine on Route 38 and I-295 is hard on a chassis, and a regular underbody rinse from December through March is the single most useful habit an owner around here can pick up. Underneath, the 2027 Ram 1500 uses a 98 percent steel frame and a coil-spring rear end, a combination that holds up well on the surfaces we actually drive on.
Yes. Lucas Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram is at 1624 Route 38, Lumberton Township, NJ 08048. Call (609) 354-5619, and bring the trailer weight you actually pull so the right configuration is on the lot when you get there.
Yes. Lucas serves all of South Jersey, including Cherry Hill, Burlington, Mt Ephraim, Robbinsville, Turnersville and Lawrenceville. Plenty of customers do the paperwork remotely and collect in Lumberton.
Apply online through the financing page and the team will come back with terms before you commit to a truck. Knowing the number first makes the trim decision much simpler.
Yes. A trade can be valued in person or started online, and it is confirmed against the vehicle before it is applied to the deal. A trade can be applied against a factory order as well as against a truck on the lot.
The 5.7L HEMI V8 Rumble Bee is orderable today at a $59,995 starting MSRP, with deliveries beginning in the fourth quarter of 2026. Behind it, the 392, the 392 Track Pack and the SRT come through during the first half of 2027. Call (609) 354-5619 and we will walk you through allocation.
No. Lucas sits directly on Route 38 in Lumberton, which puts it inside an easy drive of the Philadelphia suburbs and nearer than most alternatives for buyers across South Jersey. Distance counts for more with a pickup than with anything else in the driveway, because the truck keeps coming back on a service schedule for years. Ten minutes off I-295 instead of an hour on the road adds up to real time over an ownership cycle.
Bring a driving licence, proof of insurance and whatever paperwork you have on a trade-in. A finance pre-approval will shorten the visit considerably. And if towing is part of the plan, know the loaded weight of your trailer before you arrive — that single figure narrows the engine choice faster than anything else on the sheet.
Yes. The Rebel is the mainstream off-road trim and the RHO is the high-performance version. Both are worth specifying properly if fire roads and rough back roads are a regular part of your driving. Talk it through before you order rather than after.
