What’s New for the 2027 Ram 1500?
What’s New for the 2027 Ram 1500: Quick Diagnostic Intelligence
The 2027 Ram 1500 is not a new platform. It continues the 6th-generation STLA Frame architecture that launched for 2025, with 2026 already having brought back the 5.7L HEMI V8 after its controversial removal at launch. For 2027, Ram significantly expands choice rather than redesigning the truck.
The most significant news is the return of the TRX SRT, Ram’s high-performance off-road flagship, now powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 producing 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque, priced at $102,790. Alongside it, Ram introduces a new Rumble Bee lineup: high-performance street trucks built around a supercharged V8, positioned as a more street-focused counterpart to the off-road-oriented TRX.
Standard equipment also improves across several trims. Rain-sensing wipers are now standard on Laramie, a 360-degree camera is standard on Limited, Limited Longhorn, and RHO, and eTorque-equipped models gain 2-kW of onboard power with two 120V bed outlets, useful for job sites and camping. The RHO trim’s Popular Equipment Group adds a 14.5-inch touchscreen and 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

How the 2027 Ram 1500 Compares to Competitors
| Model | Starting MSRP (approx.) | Notable Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Ram 1500 | $45,170 | Widest engine range, coil-spring rear suspension for ride comfort |
| Ford F-150 | ~$38,000 | Best-selling truck in America |
| Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | ~$40,000 | Refreshed 2025, value-focused base engine |
| Toyota Tundra | ~$42,000 | i-FORCE twin-turbo V6, hybrid available |
| GMC Sierra 1500 | ~$43,000 | Premium interior positioning |
Ram’s biggest on-road advantage remains its coil-spring rear suspension, a unique feature in the full-size truck segment that most buyers and reviewers credit with a noticeably smoother ride than leaf-spring competitors. The F-150 still outsells Ram roughly 2 to 1, and Ram typically runs second or third in the full-size truck segment behind the F-150 and Silverado.
Ram 1500 Sales Performance
Ram pickup sales fell from about 444,926 units in 2023 to 373,118 in 2024, driven by high prices and the discontinuation of the value-oriented Ram 1500 Classic. Sales held roughly flat in 2025 at 371,213 units following backlash over the HEMI V8’s temporary removal at the 6th generation’s 2025 launch. First-half 2026 sales of approximately 207,591 units, up 19% year-over-year, suggest the HEMI’s return and expanded 2026-2027 trim lineup are helping the truck recover lost ground.
