2027 Ram 1500: What's New, Engines, Trims and Changes

The 2027 Ram 1500 brings the biggest powertrain shake-up this truck has seen in years, plus a new flagship trim, a revived Rumble Bee lineup, and a tech-heavy cabin that pushes closer to a mobile command center. If you're shopping for a half-ton in North Texas, this redesign touches towing capacity, hauling ability, and how the truck drives across trims you already know.

Our team at Huffines CJDR Lewisville has been tracking every detail as Ram and Stellantis roll out information, and we're breaking down what's actually changing before you commit to a model year. Once you're ready to see one in person, you can explore our Ram 1500 inventory in Lewisville.

2027 Ram 1500 Release Date and Availability in Lewisville, TX

The 2027 Ram 1500 release date follows a staggered rollout. Ram builds the 1500 at Stellantis's Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan and at Saltillo Light-Duty Truck Assembly, and the 2027 model is now in dealerships. Performance variants are still phasing in behind the core trims, so full lineup availability, including the later-arriving Rumble Bee models, runs into 2027.

That timeline matters specifically for Rumble Bee shoppers. The base 5.7L Rumble Bee is expected in late 2026, while the 392, 392 Track Pack, and SRT variants are targeted for the first half of 2027. TRX SRT orders opened June 22, 2026, and the first customer trucks rolled off the line at Sterling Heights on July 1, so that performance flagship is already reaching owners. Reach out directly if you want a specific configuration reserved, since allocation on high-demand trims tends to move fast.

What's New for 2027: Key Updates and Changes

Ram didn't tear this truck down to the studs for 2027, but the changes under the skin will shift how buyers pick their engine and trim. The biggest talking point is the 5.7L HEMI's expanded reach across the lineup, paired with word that eTorque is being phased out early in the model year. Ram hasn't confirmed every detail here, so we're treating the eTorque phaseout as expected rather than final, but the Rumble Bee is the only confirmed non-eTorque HEMI trim right now.

Performance and Powertrain Enhancements

The next-gen Ram 1500 powertrain lineup spans seven distinct engine options. The 5.7L HEMI V8 now appears across more trims, with an eTorque version on most trims and a non-eTorque version exclusive to Rumble Bee. On the electrified side, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque gains an available 2-kW onboard power system with two 120V bed outlets, useful for job sites or tailgates near Lewisville Lake.

Technology and Safety Upgrades

Surround View Camera coverage now comes standard on Limited, Longhorn, RHO, and TRX, and it's available on Rebel and Laramie through Level 1 equipment groups. Big Horn's Level 2 package adds passive entry, and Laramie now includes standard rain-sensing wipers. Hands-free Active Drive Assist, Ram's Level 2+ system, is available on RHO and TRX SRT. As far as we can tell, Ram is the only manufacturer putting hands-free assist on a high-performance, off-road-capable gas pickup.

New Exterior Colors and Design Tweaks

New color options include Goldilocks Pearl-Coat and a returning Flame Red Clear-Coat, both expected to be available late. Tank Clear-Coat is now available across trims. A new Satin Black "Symbol of Protest" fender badge shows up on Tradesman, Black Express, Warlock, Rebel, and Night Edition trucks, while RHO adds a Popular Equipment Group and a distinctive rhino-head tailgate badge.

2027 Ram 1500 Trim Levels Explained

Ram's 2027 trim ladder runs from work-focused base models to a supercharged performance flagship. Here's how each group breaks down, and if you want to see which one fits your driveway, contact our team, and we'll walk through availability.

Tradesman, Big Horn, and Lone Star

Tradesman remains the practical work-truck baseline. Big Horn and Lone Star are essentially the same truck, just badged differently by region. Lone Star is what you'll typically see on lots here in the Lewisville area, and its Level 2 package adds 20-inch wheels, a power tailgate, dual-zone climate control, nine-speaker audio, and a 12-inch touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Laramie and Limited Longhorn

Laramie is the first step into leather seating and a more premium equipment list, now with standard rain-sensing wipers. Limited and Longhorn move up further with the High Output Hurricane engine, standard 360-degree camera coverage, and class-exclusive reclining rear seats offering 44.8 inches of legroom. Both also offer a RamBox delete option for buyers who'd rather skip the lockable bed storage.

Rebel and Warlock

The 2027 Ram Rebel keeps its trail-focused identity with 33-inch tires, a raised ride height, and heavy-duty shocks. The Warlock is the more affordable off-road entry, adding Bilstein shocks, skid plates, and a locking rear axle, with a starting MSRP of $52,865 plus a $2,795 destination charge.

Tungsten: The New Flagship Trim

The 2027 Ram 1500 Tungsten is the new luxury flagship, built to compete on comfort as much as capability. It comes standard with 24-way massaging seats, 23-speaker Klipsch audio, hands-free drive assist, and the truck's largest available display setup, including a 14.5-inch touchscreen and 10.25-inch passenger display.

RHO and TRX SRT Performance Trims

RHO runs the 540-hp Hurricane High Output engine, with a widebody stance and Bilstein e2 Blackhawk shocks, and can tow up to 9,480 pounds. The TRX SRT sits above it with a reengineered, supercharged 6.2L HEMI producing 777 hp and 680 lb-ft of torque, up from the previous 702 hp. Ram calls it the most powerful production gas half-ton built to date. It rides on 35-inch tires, offers 11.8 inches of ground clearance, and starts at $99,995 before destination charges.

Rumble Bee: Special Edition Lineup

The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee is Ram's first street-performance muscle truck since the SRT-10 left production in 2006, and it carves out a distinct identity from the trail-oriented Rebel. It's built exclusively as a widebody Quad Cab with a 13-inch shorter wheelbase and a 10% stiffer frame.

The base Rumble Bee runs the non-eTorque 5.7L HEMI at 395 hp, the 392 and Track Pack step up to the 6.4L HEMI's 470 hp, and the SRT matches the TRX SRT's 777 hp and 680 lb-ft, with a 3.4-second 0-60 and an 11.6-second quarter mile stated, and the 170 mph top speed is still targeted. Every Rumble Bee uses full-time active 4WD with a front-axle disconnect for RWD mode, and towing capacity reaches up to 8,890 pounds when properly equipped.

Interior Comfort, Technology, and Cargo Features

Inside, the 2027 Ram 1500 leans hard into a tech-heavy cabin. Higher trims offer more than 50 combined inches of display space across a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, a 10.25-inch passenger screen, a 12.3-inch digital cluster, a digital rearview mirror, and a full-color head-up display with a 10-inch field of view. Base trucks start with an 8.4-inch screen, and Big Horn's Level 2 package steps up to a 12-inch unit. RamBox storage, LED bed lighting, relocatable anchors, and a multifunction tailgate with a center step remain class-exclusive features, and buyers can choose between a 5-foot-7-inch and a 6-foot-4-inch box. Every configuration seats six in Crew or Quad Cab form, since Ram no longer offers a regular cab.

Capability and Towing: Which Engine Fits Your Needs?

Matching the right engine to how you actually use the truck makes a real difference, especially with seven options on the table. Here's how the 2027 Ram 1500 lineup compares:

 

All seven engines pair with an 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic. For Lewisville drivers hauling a boat to Lewisville Lake, the Hurricane Standard Output or non-eTorque 5.7L HEMI offer strong towing margins. Job-site users hauling equipment daily will likely appreciate the payload capacity on the Pentastar or Hurricane SO, and if your routine is mostly highway commuting on I-35E or 121, the eTorque-equipped engines offer a smoother, more efficient daily drive.

Is the 2027 Ram 1500 Right for Lewisville Truck Shoppers?

For drivers around Lewisville, Flower Mound, Highland Village, Denton, The Colony, and Coppell, the 2027 Ram 1500 covers a wide range of real needs. Whether that's work-truck durability, weekend towing, or flagship comfort, there's a version of this truck built for it. The trim spread means you're not forced into a one-size-fits-all truck, and the engine lineup lets you prioritize towing capacity, payload, or daily efficiency depending on how you actually drive.

Which Trim Is Right for You

If you spend weekends on trails or want serious straight-line performance, Rebel and TRX SRT are built for that. Tradesman and Big Horn, sold as Lone Star here in Texas, fit tradespeople who need a dependable work truck without extra frills. Laramie and Limited suit families who prioritize comfort and cabin tech, while Tungsten is aimed squarely at buyers who want the flagship experience without compromise.
