Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 Ram 2500 & 3500


What is the difference between the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500?

The Ram 2500 is a three-quarter-ton truck and the Ram 3500 is a one-ton truck. Both share the same engine choices, but the 3500 is rated for much more: up to 36,610 lbs of towing and 7,590 lbs of payload, versus 20,000 lbs and 4,580 lbs on the 2500. The 2500 rides on a five-link coil rear suspension and offers off-road trims like the Rebel® and Power Wagon®, while the 3500 uses leaf springs and comes standard with snowplow prep.

Should I get the Cummins® diesel or the HEMI® V8?

Choose the High-Output 6.7L Cummins® if you regularly tow heavy trailers, fifth-wheels, or goosenecks — its 1,075 lb-ft of torque unlocks up to 36,610 lbs of towing on the Ram 3500. Choose the 6.4L HEMI® V8 if payload, purchase price, or plowing matters more; it delivers the highest payload ratings, including 7,590 lbs on the Ram 3500.

What's new for the 2027 Ram 2500 and 3500?

The biggest change is that the Ram 2500 Power Wagon® is available with the High-Output Cummins® diesel for the first time. A new Payload Upgrade Package for HEMI®-powered Ram 2500 models raises payload to a best-in-class 4,580 lbs, and select HEMI® Ram 3500 models gain about 400 lbs of additional payload.

How big is the fuel tank on the 2027 Ram 2500 and 3500?

Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed offer a best-in-class available 50-gallon fuel tank. That extra range reduces fuel stops when towing long distances, such as hauling an RV from Hillsboro to central Oregon or the coast.

Can the Ram 3500 plow snow?

Yes. Every 2027 Ram 3500 comes standard with a 220-amp alternator and snowplow prep wiring, so it is ready for a plow setup out of the box. On 4x4 models, an available transfer case skid plate adds underbody protection for winter work.

Can I buy a Ram 2500 or 3500 for my business fleet?

Yes. Through Tonkin Fleet, businesses can source Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 work trucks from five Tonkin commercial dealerships in Hillsboro, Milwaukie, and Portland, with custom upfitting, fleet financing, and mobile repair available.
