How Much Can the 2027 Ram 2500 Pickup Tow and Haul for Worksites?

The 2027 Ram 2500 can tow up to 14,410 lbs and carry up to 3,380 lbs of payload on the Big Horn and Limited configurations — numbers that make it capable of hauling a loaded flatbed, a large camper, or a pontoon boat to Lake Hartwell without breaking a sweat. The table below shows exactly how each trim stacks up on the key capacity figures buyers ask about most.

A few numbers here deserve attention. The Power Wagon 4X4 Crew Cab SWB carries the lowest payload at 1,942 lbs — that tradeoff comes with the Power Wagon's specialized off-road hardware, including front and rear locking differentials and a disconnectable front sway bar, which add weight and reduce net payload. If hauling heavy loads in the bed is your primary use case — think landscaping equipment, construction materials, or farm supplies — the Big Horn or Tradesman configurations offer the highest payload figures at 3,380 lbs and 3,190 lbs respectively.

The Tradesman 4X4 Crew Cab LWB's towing rating of 14,220 lbs is the only figure that differs from the other three, a modest difference of 190 lbs attributable to the longer wheelbase configuration. All four trims are equipped standard with a trailer brake controller and tow mode, making them ready to pull from day one without additional dealer-installed hardware.

Buyers looking to explore available 2027 Ram 2500 trucks in stock at Piedmont Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can filter by trim to match the right capacity to their worksite needs. Those with a current truck to move can also browse our pre-owned truck inventory for additional options.

Rugged Exterior Design That Matches Anderson's Blue Ridge Foothills and Urban Streets

The 2027 Ram 2500 wears its capability visibly. The Crew Cab body style spans four full-size doors with conventional front-hinged operation on all four positions, giving it a clean, upright profile that reads as purposeful rather than flashy on the rolling streets around Anderson. Standard LED low-beam and high-beam headlights come on all four trims, with a dusk sensor for automatic activation — practical for early-morning job site departures or late evening returns from a day on Lake Hartwell.

Bumper finish varies meaningfully by trim. The Tradesman 4X4 Crew Cab LWB ships with black front and rear bumpers, a no-nonsense look suited to work duty. The Big Horn steps up to chrome bumpers as standard equipment. The Limited carries painted body-color bumpers by default, giving it the most refined street presence of the four. The Power Wagon uses body-color toned bumpers that emphasize its off-road character without leaning into chrome.

The Night Edition package, available on the Big Horn and Limited, swaps to painted bumpers and adds 20-inch all-terrain tires — a combination that suits the darker aesthetic popular with younger buyers in Greer's suburban market. The Sport Appearance Group on the Big Horn similarly moves to painted bumpers for a blacked-out look.

All four trims ride on at least 18-inch wheels. The Big Horn's standard setup uses 18-inch steel chrome wheels, while the Limited and Power Wagon come standard on 20-inch alloys. The Tradesman starts on base 17-inch steel wheels but can be configured up to 18-inch steel chrome wheels through the Tradesman Level 2 Equipment Group.

Power and Towing to Navigate Rolling Terrain with the 2027 Ram 2500

Three of the four 2027 Ram 2500 trims share the same proven gasoline powerplant, while the Power Wagon goes a fundamentally different direction. Here is the full engine comparison:

All four trims use the same automatic 8-speed transmission and all-wheel drive drivetrain. The transfer case operates via Electronic Shift-On-the-Fly, meaning drivers can switch between 2WD and 4WD modes on the move — useful when transitioning from dry pavement in Anderson to wet, uneven terrain on a trail or unpaved road near the Blue Ridge foothills.

The Big Horn, Limited, and Tradesman run the 6.4L HEMI V8, producing 410 hp at 5,600 rpm and 429 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine also features cylinder deactivation, which shuts down four cylinders during light-load cruising to reduce fuel consumption on the highway. A 31-gallon fuel tank is standard across these three trims.

The Power Wagon 4X4 Crew Cab SWB takes a different approach with the 6.7L Cummins turbocharged inline-6 diesel as its standard engine. While horsepower is lower at 370 hp, the torque figure of 850 lb-ft — available from as low as 1,700 rpm — is nearly double that of the gasoline V8. That low-rpm torque is what matters most when pulling a heavy trailer up a grade or crawling through technical terrain. The Power Wagon also adds front and rear locking differentials and a front sway bar disconnect as standard equipment, making it the only trim in this group purpose-built for serious off-road use.

All four trims include standard Traction Control, roll stability control, and a hill-holder function, giving every configuration a confident footing on the gently rolling Piedmont terrain between Anderson and Greer.

The optional 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine is also available as an add-on option on the Big Horn, Limited, and Tradesman trims for buyers who want diesel torque without the Power Wagon's off-road package. The diesel option on those trims produces the same 370 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque as the Power Wagon's standard engine.

Roomy Cabin Comfort for Family Trips and Weekend Adventures

Six passengers fit comfortably in the Ram 2500's Crew Cab on three of the four trims — the exception is the Limited 4X4 Crew Cab SWB, which is configured as a 5-passenger truck with bucket seats front and rear rather than bench seating. That distinction matters for families who regularly need to seat a full crew for a trip to a local festival or a day out on the water.

Interior dimensions are consistent across all four trims. Front headroom measures 40.9 in, rear headroom 39.8 in, front legroom 40.9 in, and rear legroom 40.2 in. Front shoulder room reaches 65.9 in and rear 65.6 in — numbers that translate to genuine comfort for adult passengers in both rows, not just the front seats. Hip room runs 62.9 in front and 62.7 in rear.

Seating materials and features scale significantly by trim. The Tradesman starts with cloth bench seating or vinyl bench options — practical for work use where the cabin gets dirty. The Big Horn moves to cloth bench or premium cloth with the Big Horn Level 1 Equipment Group, which also adds a 5-way power driver's seat with electric height, lumbar, reach, recline, and tilt adjustments. The Limited is the standout for interior refinement, featuring standard premium leather bucket seats with heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, memory-position driver's seat, woodgrain trim on the instrument panel and doors, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel with wood accents.

Climate control is dual-zone automatic on the Big Horn Level 1 Plus Equipment Group and above, with rear passenger controls also available. All trims include rear below-seat storage, front and rear cup holders, and an overhead partial console. The Big Horn and above add a full floor console when bucket or specific bench configurations are selected.

The pickup bed on all four trims measures 76.3 in long, 66.4 in wide, and 20.1 in deep, with 51 in between the wheelhouses. Load hooks are standard across all trims.

Connected Tech That Keeps You Linked on Your Commute and Outdoor Excursions

Technology content in the 2027 Ram 2500 scales sharply from the Tradesman to the Limited, with the infotainment screen size being the clearest dividing line.

The Tradesman 4X4 Crew Cab LWB starts with an 8.4-inch touchscreen as its base display. Adding the Tradesman Level 1 Equipment Group upgrades that to a 12-inch touchscreen with 3D navigation, voice guidance, internet-connected maps, and traffic information. The Big Horn's standard display is also 8.4 in, with the Big Horn Level 1 Plus Equipment Group bumping it to 12 in. The Power Wagon 4X4 Crew Cab SWB comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen, and the Power Wagon Level 2 Equipment Group upgrades further to a 14.4-inch display. The Limited 4X4 Crew Cab SWB is the most connected of the group, with a 14.4-inch center touchscreen and a 10.25-inch passenger-side display standard from the factory — the only trim in this group to include a dedicated front passenger screen.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across all four trims, with no subscription required. Amazon Alexa built-in voice assistant is also standard. All trims include 4 front USB charging ports and 2 rear USB charging ports, plus a 12V outlet up front.

SiriusXM satellite radio with a 3-month trial subscription is standard. The SiriusXM Guardian connected services platform is included for 120 months — a 10-year subscription — covering remote lock/unlock, remote start, vehicle diagnostics, theft alert, speed alert, and send-destination-to-car features. Over-the-air software updates are standard on all trims.

The Big Horn Level 1 Plus Equipment Group and Power Wagon Level 2 Equipment Group both add an Alpine speaker system. The Limited upgrades to a standard 17-speaker harman/kardon premium audio system with a subwoofer — the most capable audio setup in the lineup.

A Towing Technology Group package is available on all four trims, adding a 360-degree surround-view camera, front and rear parking cameras with sensors, and Trailer Reverse Guidance. The Trailer Technology Group adds trailer automatic steering and a Tow-Mode Digital Rear View Package.

Advanced Safety Built for Busy Roads and Local Festivals

Every 2027 Ram 2500 in this lineup — regardless of trim — ships with a comprehensive set of active and passive safety systems. The airbag count is 6 on all four trims, covering driver and passenger front airbags, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags spanning both rows. LATCH child seat anchors are standard.

Active safety starts with anti-lock brakes, a brake assist system, and a hill-holder function. The automatic emergency braking system activates at speeds as low as 3 mph, providing low-speed collision protection in parking lots and congested traffic — exactly the kind of situation that comes up at crowded community events. The system also activates brake lights automatically when it detects a forward collision threat.

The Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection system, branded as Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection, is standard on the Big Horn Level 2 Equipment Group and the Limited. It monitors the blind zones alongside the truck and warns of vehicles approaching from the side when reversing — a meaningful feature when backing a large truck out of a crowded parking space. The Big Horn Safety Group package adds traffic sign recognition, automatic high-beam headlight control, a driver attention monitor, and lane departure warning with active steering correction.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop function is standard across all four trims, maintaining a set following distance and bringing the truck to a full stop in traffic without driver input. The system is named Adaptive Cruise Control w/Stop in Ram's documentation.

The trailer stability program is standard on all trims, automatically applying brakes to individual wheels to counteract trailer sway — a critical feature when towing a boat trailer down a two-lane road in wet conditions.

ParkSense Rear Park Assist with camera guidance is standard on all four trims. The Towing Technology Group adds front parking sensors and cameras, plus a 360-degree camera for the most complete view when maneuvering in tight spaces.

SiriusXM Guardian's emergency call function is included on the Big Horn Level 1 Plus Equipment Group and above, connecting occupants to emergency services with vehicle location data in the event of a crash.

Pricing Breakdown of 2027 Ram 2500 Trims for Buyers

The 2027 Ram 2500 spans a wide price range across the four trims covered here, from a work-ready starting point to a fully loaded luxury configuration. Every trim carries a destination charge of $2,795.

The Tradesman 4X4 Crew Cab LWB at $54,790 is the lowest point of entry in this group. It ships with a longer wheelbase for additional bed length, making it the natural choice for buyers who need maximum cargo capacity for work. The standard feature set is functional rather than lavish, but the Tradesman Level 1 Equipment Group adds a 12-inch touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate, and a limited-slip rear differential for buyers who want more capability without moving to a higher trim.

The Big Horn 4X4 Crew Cab SWB at $58,340 adds chrome bumpers, LED lighting, and a broader package menu that lets buyers customize toward either comfort or capability. It represents the best balance of price and feature access in the lineup.

The Limited 4X4 Crew Cab SWB at $78,725 is the luxury choice, arriving with premium leather, a 14.4-inch screen, harman/kardon audio, power retractable running boards, and standard Cross Path Detection. Buyers who want a truck that works as hard on the job site as it impresses at a weekend dinner should look here.

The Power Wagon 4X4 Crew Cab SWB at $86,930 commands the highest price in this group and justifies it with the Cummins diesel, locking differentials, sway bar disconnect, and a specialized off-road suspension package that no other trim can match.

Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Options Tailored for 2027 Ram 2500 Owners

The 2027 Ram 2500 comes backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic vehicle warranty and a 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty on HEMI-equipped trims. Paint coverage runs 3 years/36,000 miles. Ram roadside assistance is included for 5 years/100,000 miles on all trims, providing manufacturer-backed emergency support that keeps you covered whether you're at a job site in Anderson or towing a trailer through the foothills.

Buyers who choose the optional 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine on the Tradesman, Big Horn, or Limited should note that the diesel powertrain warranty terms differ from the gasoline HEMI — confirm the specific coverage terms with the Piedmont Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram sales team at the time of purchase.

The Ram 2500 also supports over-the-air software updates standard across all trims, meaning certain vehicle systems can be updated remotely without a dealership visit. SiriusXM Guardian's remote services subscription runs for 120 months, covering diagnostics alerts that can flag service needs before they become costly repairs.

Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2027 Ram 2500's Strengths

No specific awards or third-party ratings for the 2027 Ram 2500 are present in the verified catalog data for this model year, so this section focuses on what the published specifications and package engineering communicate about the truck's competitive positioning.

The Ram 2500's competitive set in the heavy-duty pickup segment includes the Ford F-250 Super Duty and the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. Against those rivals, the Ram 2500 distinguishes itself through several measurable differentiators: the standard availability of the 6.7L Cummins diesel — long regarded by the heavy-duty truck community as one of the most capable diesel powerplants in its class — the 850 lb-ft torque output on the Power Wagon, and the depth of the available package system that lets buyers configure the truck precisely for their use case rather than paying for bundled features they don't need.

The Cummins diesel option's torque figure of 850 lb-ft at 1,700 rpm is particularly relevant for buyers who regularly tow at or near the truck's rated capacity. Maximum torque arriving at low engine speed reduces the need to downshift aggressively on grades, which translates to smoother, more controlled towing behavior on the rolling terrain between Anderson and the Blue Ridge foothills.

The Ram 2500's 10-year SiriusXM Guardian subscription, standard across all trims, is a connected-services commitment that exceeds what many competitors include at the base trim level. The inclusion of wireless CarPlay and Android Auto without subscription requirements on all four trims also reflects a standard-equipment philosophy that buyers in the $54,790 to $86,930 price range reasonably expect.

Frequently Asked Questions from Buyers About the 2027 Ram 2500

Q: What is the maximum towing capacity of the 2027 Ram 2500?

The maximum towing capacity is 14,410 lbs on the Big Horn 4X4 Crew Cab SWB, Limited 4X4 Crew Cab SWB, and Power Wagon 4X4 Crew Cab SWB. The Tradesman 4X4 Crew Cab LWB is rated at 14,220 lbs due to its long-wheelbase configuration. All four trims come equipped with a standard trailer brake controller and tow mode, so buyers do not need to add towing hardware after purchase.

Q: Which trim has the highest payload capacity?

The Big Horn 4X4 Crew Cab SWB and Limited 4X4 Crew Cab SWB both carry 3,380 lbs of payload — the highest in this group. The Tradesman 4X4 Crew Cab LWB follows at 3,190 lbs. The Power Wagon 4X4 Crew Cab SWB has the lowest payload at 1,942 lbs because its off-road hardware adds significant weight. Buyers who prioritize bed-hauling capacity over off-road capability should choose the Big Horn or Tradesman.

Q: Does the 2027 Ram 2500 come with a diesel engine?

The Power Wagon 4X4 Crew Cab SWB includes the 6.7L Cummins turbocharged diesel as its standard engine, producing 370 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque. The Cummins diesel is also available as an option on the Big Horn, Limited, and Tradesman trims for buyers who want diesel torque without the Power Wagon's off-road package. The gasoline engine on all other trims is the 6.4L HEMI V8 producing 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque.

Three of the four trims — the Tradesman, Big Horn, and Power Wagon — seat 6 passengers in a 3+3 configuration with a front bench seat. The Limited 4X4 Crew Cab SWB seats 5 passengers because it comes standard with front bucket seats rather than a bench. Buyers who need to seat a full family of six should choose the Tradesman, Big Horn, or Power Wagon.

Q: What safety technology comes standard on the 2027 Ram 2500?

Every 2027 Ram 2500 in this lineup includes standard ABS, brake assist, automatic emergency braking (active from 3 mph), adaptive cruise control with stop function, a trailer stability program, rear backup camera with ParkView guidance, roll stability control, and 6 airbags.
