The 2027 Ram 3500 runs from the $49,340 Tradesman to the Limited and Longhorn, with single or dual rear wheels. Here are the trims, what the HEMI and Cummins tow and carry, the specs, and how it lines up against the F-350, Silverado 3500HD and Sierra 3500HD.

Why a 3500. Ram's biggest pickup, built for the heaviest loads.

The 3500 shares its cabs, engines and screens with the 2500, then adds the hardware for weight: leaf springs with available supplemental air, an anti-spin rear differential, and the choice of dual rear wheels on 8-ft-box and Mega Cab trucks.

Four facts that set it apart.

  • 36,610 lb of towing

    The rating for a Regular Cab 4x4 with the Cummins High-Output, dual rear wheels and the 8-ft box.

  • 7,590 lb of payload

    With the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 and dual rear wheels, on a gross vehicle weight rating of up to 14,000 lb.

  • One rear wheel or two

    Dual rear wheels add $1,795, or $1,295 on Limited and Longhorn, and widen the rear track to 75.9 in.

  • Self-leveling air

    Auto-level rear air suspension, which Ram calls class-exclusive, is $1,705 on 4x4 Laramie, Limited and Longhorn.

What changed for 2027.

The 3500 carries its body, engines and ratings into 2027. Ram's updates are a fresh badge for HEMI trucks and easier ways to add the appearance packages and RamBox.

Here is Ram's list for the model year.

Doug Smith Ram

Design

A V8 badge for the HEMI. Trucks with the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 wear Ram's new V8 badge, and HEMI Tradesman and Night Edition trucks add a Satin Black Symbol of Protest badge.

Packages

Simpler appearance packages. Sport Appearance and Night Edition now pair with the Level 1 and Level 2 groups, where before they needed the Plus groups.

Laramie

More RamBox, color-matched flares. More Laramie configurations can be ordered with RamBox bed storage, and body-color fender flares are a new Laramie option.

Performance. Two engines, one job: pull.

The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 is standard, with 405 hp, 429 lb-ft and an eight-speed automatic. On a dually it carries up to 7,590 lb in the bed and tows up to 18,150 lb.

For the biggest trailers, the 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output turbo diesel ($12,495) makes 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft at 1,800 rpm through a TorqueFlite HD eight-speed. Paired with dual rear wheels, the 8-ft box and a 4x4 Regular Cab, it is rated for 36,610 lb. The Cummins is standard in the Mega Cab and is not offered on the Regular Cab 4x2.

  • 11.5-in AAM rear axle, 12.0-in with the Max Tow Package
  • Fifth-wheel and gooseneck prep group, $745

Ram 2500 or Ram 3500?

Both share engines, cabs and screens. The 3500 adds leaf springs, an anti-spin rear differential and dual rear wheels for the heaviest work; the 2500 rides on coil springs as standard and starts at a lower price.
