Four powertrains allow 2027 Ram 1500 buyers to prioritize payload, traditional V8 character, standard-output turbocharged performance, or maximum horsepower. Every engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 develops 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. It also delivers the lineup’s highest available payload rating at up to 2,340 pounds, making it a practical choice for shoppers who regularly carry equipment or materials.

Drivers who prefer naturally aspirated V8 power can select the returning 5.7L HEMI V8. It produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque and is offered on models ranging from Tradesman through Rebel.

The standard-output 3.0L Hurricane inline-six generates 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, it provides the lineup’s highest maximum towing capacity at 11,530 pounds.

For stronger acceleration, the High-Output 3.0L Hurricane raises output to 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. Ram states that this engine is more powerful than the standard Ford F-150 Raptor, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Tundra. Every model also receives a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.
