Engine specs, EPA ratings by drivetrain, bed and cab dimensions, safety, interior and capability by configuration.
In Crew Cab form the 2027 Ram 1500 runs to 232.9 inches long, 82.1 inches wide at the body before the mirrors, a 26- or 33-gallon tank, depending on configuration, and five or six seats. Depending which of the four gas engines it left the factory with, it will pull as much as 11,530 lbs or carry as much as 2,340 pounds. For the range in overview, see our 2027 Ram 1500 page; for how the ladder is built, our trims page.
Across the 2027 Ram 1500 range there are five gas engines, every one behind an eight-speed automatic. Four of them are lineup engines. The fifth, the supercharged 6.2L V8, is the halo powertrain reserved for the TRX SRT and the Rumble Bee SRT.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Transmission | Fuel grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 305 hp | 269 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic | Regular |
| 3.0L Hurricane, Standard Output | 420 hp | 469 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic | Regular |
| 3.0L Hurricane, High Output | 540 hp | 521 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic | Premium |
| 5.7L HEMI V8 | 395 hp | 410 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic | Midgrade |
| 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 | 777 hp | 680 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic | Premium |
Regular fuel, 305 horsepower, 269 lb-ft. This one leads the range on payload and on economy simultaneously. As a four-wheel-drive Warlock, the EPA rates it a mild hybrid.
One twin-turbocharged gas inline-six, two states of tune. In Standard Output it produces 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft and runs regular. In High Output it produces 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft and wants premium. It is the Standard-Output tune, not the High-Output one, that holds the lineup’s maximum tow rating.
Midgrade fuel, 395 horsepower, 410 lb-ft, offered on select 2027 Ram 1500 models. It comes both with eTorque and without, and the EPA rates those two separately.
Premium fuel, 777 horsepower, 680 lb-ft. It appears in two places only: the TRX SRT and the Rumble Bee SRT.
Half-ton engine ranges are not usually this far apart, and this one is emphatically not a ladder where spending more buys more of everything. Most payload and least fuel used: the V6. Most towing, still on regular: the Standard-Output Hurricane. Most power of any lineup engine, least towing of the three big ones: the High-Output Hurricane. Within 60 lbs of the Hurricane on towing, but wanting midgrade: the HEMI. Start from the trim and you can end up buying power that costs you 460 pounds of payload.
| Measurement | Crew Cab |
|---|---|
| Overall length | 232.9 inches |
| Body width, before mirrors | 82.1 inches |
| Wheelbase | 144.5 inches |
| Bed length | 5 feet 7 inches (67.4 inches) |
| Bed volume | 53.9 cubic feet |
| GVWR, Big Horn Crew Cab | 6,900 pounds |
Use the 232.9-inch Crew Cab length and 82.1-inch body width as the beginning of a parking check. Mirrors extend beyond the body, and any hitch-mounted equipment extends the overall space needed. The Rumble Bee’s 88-inch quoted stance belongs to its own configuration and should not be substituted for the ordinary Crew Cab body measurement.
Our Lumberton team offers Ram 1500 test drives.
| Measurement | Crew Cab |
|---|---|
| Front head room | 40.9 inches |
| Front leg room | 40.9 inches |
| Front shoulder room | 66.0 inches |
| Seating capacity | 6 |
| Fuel capacity | 26 or 33 gallons, by configuration |
Front shoulder room is 66.0 inches in the listed Crew Cab configuration, with seating dependent on the fitted front-row arrangement. Try that arrangement with the passengers who will use it. Match the tank to the particular truck and consider its engine, drivetrain and load before estimating fuel stops for a South Jersey trip.
Nowhere is the trim ladder more visible than in cabin materials: wipe-clean, hard-wearing surfaces down at the Tradesman end, leather, wood and open-pore finishes up in the Tungsten. The available RamBox cargo management system in the bed rails adds lockable, drainable exterior storage, which keeps wet or dirty gear out of the cabin on a truck that spends its weekends hauling as much as it does commuting.
Both towing and payload track the engine, and the two ceilings are held by two different trucks. Each figure assumes a properly equipped example.
| Configuration | Maximum towing | Maximum payload |
|---|---|---|
| 3.0L Hurricane, Standard Output | 11,530 lbs | 1,880 pounds |
| 5.7L HEMI V8 | 11,470 lbs | 1,760 pounds |
| 3.0L Hurricane, High Output | 9,480 lbs | 1,530 pounds |
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 8,100 lbs | 2,340 pounds |
| RHO, trim-level rating | 8,370 lbs | 1,530 pounds |
Take a four-wheel-drive Crew Cab, fill the tank, put four people in it and load the bed, and you are several hundred pounds above the truck those maximums were measured on, weight that comes straight off the trailer rating before the hitch is even coupled. If you launch at a Shore ramp down the Parkway from Burlington or Robbinsville, the live question is never whether the truck can pull the boat. It is what remains once fuel, gear and passengers are aboard. That is why the payload column deserves as much of your attention as the towing one.
There is a reason the RHO has a row to itself. The engine is the High-Output Hurricane, but the published rating is its own: 8,370 lbs.
Every truck in the range shares a frame that is 98 percent steel and a multi-link coil spring rear suspension, and a Four-Corner Active-Level air suspension system, Class-Exclusive and optional, can change ride height on demand. That last one repays a back-to-back drive. On a rutted Pine Barrens fire road, or on a boat ramp, dropping the truck to couple up and lifting it to clear is a feature you use weekly, not a line on a specification sheet.
| Hardware | Scope |
|---|---|
| 98 percent steel frame | Whole range |
| Multi-link coil spring rear suspension | Whole range |
| Four-Corner Active-Level air suspension | Available, Class-Exclusive |
| Bilstein e2 adaptive shocks | Factory-installed on RHO |
| 22-inch aluminum wheels, Brembo brakes | Rumble Bee |
The EPA publishes ten configurations for the 2027 Ram 1500. The annual fuel cost shown is its own estimate, on its own assumptions.
| Configuration | City | Highway | Combined | Annual fuel cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L V6, 2WD | 20 | 25 | 22 | $2,800 |
| 3.6L V6, 4WD | 19 | 24 | 21 | $2,950 |
| 3.0L Hurricane SO, 2WD | 17 | 24 | 20 | $3,100 |
| 3.0L Hurricane SO, 4WD | 17 | 23 | 19 | $3,250 |
| 5.7L HEMI V8, 4WD with eTorque | 16 | 20 | 18 | $3,900 |
| 5.7L HEMI V8, 2WD | 15 | 23 | 17 | $4,150 |
| 5.7L HEMI V8, 4WD without eTorque | 15 | 22 | 17 | $4,150 |
| 3.6L V6 Warlock, 4WD mild hybrid | 17 | 18 | 17 | $3,600 |
| 3.0L Hurricane HO, 4WD | 15 | 21 | 17 | $4,450 |
| 6.2L supercharged V8, 4WD | 10 | 14 | 12 | $6,350 |
EPA estimates from fueleconomy.gov. Your mileage will vary.
Follow the annual-cost column rather than the mpg column and the ownership picture pulls apart faster, because required grade moves with the engine. Regular covers the 3.6L V6 and the Standard-Output Hurricane. Midgrade is the rating for the 5.7L HEMI V8. Premium is the rating for the High-Output Hurricane and the supercharged 6.2L. The EPA’s own estimate separates the thriftiest V6 from the High-Output Hurricane by $1,650 a year, and grade accounts for as much of that as thirst does. Put real I-295 miles on a truck out of Cherry Hill or Burlington and that number compounds faster than almost any option-package decision.
The 2027 Ram 1500 carries more than 100 standard and available safety and security features, with over 50 inches of combined available digital display area to present what they see. On our roads the ones that earn their place are camera views when you are backing a trailer down a busy boat ramp, blind-spot coverage that allows for how long the trailer is, and driver-assistance content that cuts fatigue on a stop-and-go run along I-295. What a given truck actually has is printed on its build sheet, and the team in Lumberton will read the equipment list with you against that VIN.
Separate from the lineup figures, four trims are published with specifications of their own.
| Trim | Engine | Power | EPA combined | Signature hardware |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warlock | 3.6L V6, mild hybrid | 305 hp | 17 mpg 4WD | Blacked-out exterior treatment |
| RHO | 3.0L Hurricane HO | 540 hp | 17 mpg 4WD | Factory Bilstein e2 adaptive shocks |
| TRX SRT | 6.2L supercharged V8 | 777 hp | 12 mpg 4WD | Supercharged halo powertrain |
| Rumble Bee SRT | 6.2L supercharged V8 | 777 hp | 12 mpg 4WD | 22-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, Quad Cab short bed |

| The number | What it means where you drive |
|---|---|
| 232.9 inches long | Just over 19 feet. Longer than a standard 18-foot parking bay, so measure the driveway in Lumberton or Mount Holly before you commit to a Crew Cab. |
| 82.1 inches wide before the mirrors | Measure the opening, fold the mirrors, or plan to park outside. |
| 26-gallon tank | Ram 1500 Crew Cab fuel capacity is 26 or 33 gallons. |
| 11,530 lbs of towing | This is the properly equipped Standard-Output Hurricane model maximum; verify the actual truck and loaded trailer before relying on it. |
| 2,340 pounds of payload | Counts people, tools and tongue weight together, not just what sits in the bed. |
| 66.0 inches of shoulder room | Three adults across the front is genuinely usable, not just technically possible. |
The listed Crew Cab Ram 1500 measures 232.9 inches long.
The listed Ram 1500 body width is 82.1 inches before mirrors.
The listed Crew Cab is 232.9 inches long before extra equipment is considered.
The Crew Cab offers a 67.4-inch box, described as 5 feet 7 inches, and a 76.3-inch box, described as 6 feet 4 inches. Compare the selected arrangement with the equipment you carry.
The listed Big Horn Crew Cab example has a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,900 pounds. Ask Lucas to review how occupants, cargo and trailer tongue weight enter the loading decision.
A Crew Cab Ram 1500 has a 26- or 33-gallon tank depending on configuration.
The Ram 1500 seats up to six when equipped with the corresponding front-row arrangement. The listed Crew Cab front shoulder room is 66.0 inches, but a measurement does not replace trying the seats.
The two-wheel-drive 3.6L Pentastar V6 has the best listed combined EPA estimate at 22 mpg, with 20 city and 25 highway. Compare that drivetrain with the truck being considered at Lucas. Actual consumption depends on use, and a four-wheel-drive or differently equipped model should not inherit this rating.
Choose the engine around the task and the individual truck’s ratings. The Standard-Output Hurricane offers the highest listed towing figure, while the V6 leads the listed payload comparison. Fuel grade and passenger requirements also matter. Have Lucas review the actual configuration before selecting an engine from horsepower alone.
With four-wheel drive, the eTorque HEMI has EPA estimates of 16 city, 20 highway and 18 combined mpg; the listed non-eTorque four-wheel-drive HEMI has 15, 22 and 17.
Yes, the RHO has its own properly equipped towing rating of 8,370 pounds. That trim-specific figure should be used instead of a general Hurricane engine maximum.
