The 2027 Ram 1500 arrives with the most complex and capable lineup in the model’s history: 16 trims, 7 engine options, and a brand-new Rumble Bee muscle truck family that no other half-ton pickup can match. For buyers near Louisville who’ve already decided the Ram 1500 is the truck they want, the real decisions are which engine to choose, which trim fits the way they actually use a truck, and where to buy it. This page answers all three.
At Glenn CDJR in Crestwood, we carry the full 2027 Ram 1500 lineup, from the work-ready Tradesman to the 777-horsepower Rumble Bee SRT. The price you see on our site is the price you pay at the store, no qualifying discounts, no last-minute add-ons. If you’re ready to find your truck, here’s what you need to know.
The 2027 Ram 1500 leads its segment in several measurable categories. Understanding what those advantages mean in real-world use helps buyers separate genuine differentiators from marketing copy.
Screens and connectivity
50+ inches of total combined screen coverage, more than any other truck in the segment.
14.5-inch Uconnect 5 reconfigurable touchscreen and a segment-first 10.25-inch passenger screen.
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, digital rearview mirror, and a 10-inch field-of-view Head-up Display.
Ride, towing, and bed
Five-link coil rear suspension rated best-in-class for ride quality. Available class-exclusive active-leveling air suspension adds off-road capability and load-leveling in one system.
Class-exclusive RamBox cargo management with relocatable anchor points, LED lighting, and lockable weatherproof bed storage.
Multifunction tailgate with a center bed step, a feature buyers regularly cite after hauling real loads.
Seats and passenger space
Available 24-way power front seats with massage, heat, and ventilation — best-in-class front seat adjustability per Stellantis.
Second row: best-in-class legroom, heated and cooled seats, class-exclusive 8-degree recline, and class-exclusive RamBin in-floor storage.
For buyers hauling passengers or work crews, the second row alone is a genuine differentiator vs. the Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado at comparable price points.
The 2027 Ram 1500 offers seven distinct powertrains, according to official Stellantis fleet documentation. Each serves a different buyer profile, and choosing the wrong one for how you actually use a truck is the most common mistake we see buyers make at Glenn CDJR.
| Horsepower | 305 hp |
| Torque | 269 lb-ft |
| Transmission | TorqueFlite 850RE, 8-speed automatic |
| Max Towing | Up to 8,100 lbs |
| Max Payload | Up to 2,340 lbs |
| New | Available 2kW onboard power via two 120V bed outlets |
This mild-hybrid V6 is the right choice for buyers who prioritize daily commuting, lighter hauling, and fuel economy over maximum towing. The new onboard power option opens up genuine worksite utility.
Best for: daily drivers and light-duty haulers who value fuel economy and now, worksite power access.
| Horsepower | 395 hp |
| Torque | 410 lb-ft |
| Transmission | TorqueFlite 8HP75, 8-speed automatic |
| Max Towing | Up to 8,890 lbs |
| Max Payload | Up to 1,150 lbs |
A straightforward, proven V8 for buyers who want the sound and feel of a HEMI without the added cost of the mild-hybrid system.
Best for: buyers who want classic HEMI character at a lower cost than the eTorque version.
| Horsepower | 395 hp |
| Torque | 410 lb-ft |
| Max Towing | Up to 11,370 lbs |
| Max Payload | Up to 1,680 lbs |
| Adds | Belt-integrated starter-generator that significantly improves towing performance |
Same horsepower and torque as the standard 5.7L, but the eTorque system meaningfully improves towing capability. For Kentucky buyers who tow trailers, campers, or boats regularly, this is where the real capability difference becomes clear.
Best for: buyers who tow regularly and want the highest capability from a HEMI V8.
| Horsepower | 420 hp |
| Torque | 469 lb-ft |
| Transmission | TorqueFlite 8HP75, 8-speed automatic |
| Max Towing | Up to 11,530 lbs, highest in the lineup |
| Max Payload | Up to 1,880 lbs |
This is the engine for buyers who want to maximize towing capability in a half-ton without moving up to a heavy-duty truck, and it delivers that capacity in a more refined package than a traditional V8.
Best for: buyers who want the highest towing capacity available on a half-ton Ram.
| Horsepower | 540 hp |
| Torque | 521 lb-ft |
| Max Towing | Up to 9,480 lbs |
| Available On | Rebel and Laramie trims |
Towing drops slightly compared to the SO version, because the HO’s power delivery is tuned more for performance than for maximum towing weight. This is the right fit for buyers who want the most spirited driving experience in a non-performance Ram 1500.
Best for: buyers who want strong performance and can trade a little towing capacity for it.
| Horsepower | 470 hp |
| Torque | 470 lb-ft |
| Transmission | TorqueFlite 8HP75, 8-speed automatic |

Best for: buyers who want the most powerful production pickup on the market and won’t settle for less.
The 2027 Ram 1500’s exterior keeps the bold crosshair grille and squared-off wheel arches that define the lineup.
The bed and in-cabin storage options give the 1500 plenty of room for tools, gear, and daily hauling.
The 2027 Ram 1500 spans 16 trim levels across four categories: core trims, off-road trims, premium trims, and the new Rumble Bee muscle truck family. Click any trim below for a full breakdown.
| Engines | 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque or 5.7L HEMI V8 |
| Cab Options | Quad Cab or Crew Cab |
The Tradesman is the entry-level work truck configuration, built for buyers who need a capable, no-frills Ram 1500 for job site use.
MSRP pricing for the Tradesman has not yet been published for 2027 at this time; contact Glenn CDJR for current pricing as inventory arrives.
Best for: job site buyers who want capability without paying for comfort features they won’t use.
| Engines | V6 eTorque or 5.7L HEMI V8 |
| Express | Chrome grille, added comfort features over Tradesman |
| Black Express | Blacked-out trim, Sport appearance in place of chrome |
The Express builds on the Tradesman with enhanced styling and comfort while retaining workhorse capability. The Black Express takes the same package and replaces chrome elements with a more aggressive blacked-out look, without moving into the off-road tier.
Best for: buyers who want a better daily-driver experience or a blacked-out look without going off-road.
| Adds Over Express | Larger touchscreen, additional driver assistance features |
| New for 2027 | Level 2 Equipment Group now includes passive entry |
| Lone Star | Regional equivalent, same feature content |
The Big Horn is consistently one of the highest-volume trims in the Ram 1500 lineup, adding a significant comfort and convenience upgrade over the Express. Buyers who want a well-equipped truck for daily use without paying for off-road hardware they won’t use tend to land here.
Best for: buyers who want strong daily comfort and tech without off-road hardware.
| Adds | Leather-faced seating, larger Uconnect touchscreen, heated and ventilated front seats |
| New for 2027 | Rain-sensing wipers now standard; optional 360-degree surround camera for the first time |
The Laramie is where the Ram 1500 transitions from capable to genuinely premium. The new surround camera option is a meaningful addition for buyers who tow or park in tight urban environments. This trim performs as a luxury vehicle on the commute and a capable hauler on the weekend.
Best for: buyers who want a genuinely premium daily-driver truck.
| Starting MSRP | $52,865 plus $2,795 destination |
| New for 2027 | New entry point powered by the 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque |
| New for 2027 | Satin Black Symbol of Protest fender badge |
The Warlock slots into the lineup as an off-road appearance package trim built on the Big Horn structure. The new V6 entry point makes the Warlock the most accessible truck in Ram’s off-road family, completing the blacked-out aesthetic buyers in this segment consistently request.
Best for: buyers who want the off-road look at the most accessible price in Ram’s off-road family.
| Positioning | Between the Warlock and Rebel in Ram’s off-road hierarchy |
| Hardware | All-terrain tires, skid plates, upgraded suspension calibration |
The BackCountry carries genuine off-road hardware, making it suitable for buyers who occasionally take unpaved roads seriously rather than just wanting the look. For Crestwood-area buyers who want off-road capability for Kentucky’s rural roads and trails without the full Rebel price premium, the BackCountry is the honest recommendation.
Best for: buyers who want real off-road capability without paying full Rebel pricing.
| Hardware | Factory lift, 33-inch off-road tires, electronic locking rear differential, trail-tuned front suspension |
| Engine Options | Multiple, including the Hurricane HO I6 |
The Rebel is the core off-road performance trim in the Ram 1500 lineup. Buyers comparing the Rebel and BackCountry should understand that the Rebel carries dedicated off-road hardware that genuinely changes the driving experience off-pavement, while the BackCountry improves on the Warlock but stops short of the Rebel’s full capability package.
Best for: buyers who want a truck that genuinely performs off-pavement, not just looks the part.
| Adds | Widebody configuration, unique badging, additional performance-oriented styling |
| Positioning | Between the standard Rebel and the RHO |
The Rebel X serves buyers who want the off-road posture and wider stance of the performance tier without moving fully into the 6.4-liter HEMI territory of the RHO.
Best for: buyers who want a wider, more aggressive Rebel without the RHO’s price and power step.
| Engine | 6.4L HEMI V8 exclusively, 470 hp, 470 lb-ft |
| New for 2027 | Popular Equipment Group ($2,995): 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio |
| New for 2027 | Reimagined tailgate badge with a rhino head motif |
This trim is built for buyers who want serious performance-oriented off-road hardware with a premium interior to match.
Best for: buyers who want off-road performance and a premium cabin in one package.

Glenn CDJR will have full configuration details as launch information is released.
Best for: buyers who want the Rumble Bee look and stance and are watching for full pricing details.
| Engine | 6.4L HEMI V8, 470 hp |
| Configuration | Widebody Rumble Bee |
The Rumble Bee 392 steps up within the muscle truck family with a proven HEMI V8. Buyers who want the visual and physical presence of the Rumble Bee with a proven engine, without the top-tier price of the 392 Track Pack or SRT, will find this the right balance.
Best for: buyers who want Rumble Bee presence with proven HEMI V8 power at a lower price than the Track Pack or SRT.
| Positioning | Bridge between the standard performance tier and the full SRT |
The Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack takes the 392’s hardware and adds track-focused performance upgrades.
Specific Track Pack content has not yet been published in official Stellantis documentation at the time of writing.
Best for: buyers who want more track focus than the 392 without the full SRT price.
| Engine | Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8, 777 hp, 680 lb-ft |
| Quarter Mile | 11.6 seconds |
| 0-60 MPH | 3.4 seconds |
The Rumble Bee SRT is, according to Stellantis, the most powerful street performance production V8 pickup ever built. This is a purpose-built performance truck in a segment where no direct competitor exists.
Best for: buyers who want the most powerful production V8 pickup ever built, full stop.
| New for 2027 | 360-degree surround camera now standard on both; RamBox delete option available on both |
| Limited Longhorn Adds | Western-inspired design details, premium leather, additional interior trim |

Best for: buyers who want maximum luxury and refinement without the Rumble Bee’s performance focus.
| Technology | Full Uconnect 5 technology suite |
| Audio | Available Klipsch Reference Premiere, 1,228 watts, 23 speakers, rated best-in-class by Stellantis |
The Tungsten is Ram’s most luxurious half-ton truck, positioning the Ram 1500 as a genuine competitor in the premium full-size truck segment. Buyers stepping out of a luxury SUV into a truck will find the Tungsten’s interior the most direct answer to that transition.
Best for: buyers coming from a luxury SUV who want the most complete feature set in the lineup.

No surprises
The price on our site is the price you pay. No qualifying discounts, no last-minute add-ons.
Our team knows the Ram 1500 lineup because it is what we sell every day. When buyers from Shelbyville come in deciding between the Hurricane SO and the 5.7L HEMI eTorque for a truck they use to tow a camper, we walk through the actual tow rating differences and what each engine delivers in real-world Kentucky driving, not just spec sheet numbers. That product knowledge is what keeps buyers coming back when it is time for their next truck.
Glenn CDJR works with a broad network of lenders to find competitive rates for buyers across the credit spectrum, including first-time buyers and those who are rebuilding credit.
Get pre-qualified before you visit
Apply for financing online and get pre-qualified before making the drive out to Crestwood. Less time at the finance desk means more time going over the truck itself.
Check current manufacturer incentives
Manufacturer incentives on the 2027 Ram 1500 vary by trim and change monthly. Our Ram truck lease specials page is updated regularly and is the right starting point before calling the sales team to discuss specifics on leasing vs. purchasing.
The Hurricane SO Twin-Turbo I6 outperforms both HEMI V8 configurations in maximum tow rating, reaching 11,530 lbs., compared to 8,890 lbs. for the standard 5.7L HEMI V8 and 11,370 lbs. for the 5.7L HEMI V8 eTorque, according to Stellantis. For buyers whose primary use case is towing trailers, boats, or large campers in the Louisville area, the Hurricane SO is the stronger choice. Buyers who prioritize the traditional V8 sound and feel, or who have a lighter towing load, may still prefer the HEMI V8 eTorque, which is a proven and refined option at a generally lower price point.
The 2027 Ram 1500 comes in 16 trim levels: Tradesman, Express, Black Express, Big Horn, Lone Star, Warlock, BackCountry, Rebel, Rebel X, RHO, Laramie, Rumble Bee, Rumble Bee 392, Rumble Bee 392 Track Pack, Rumble Bee SRT, Limited, Limited Longhorn, Tungsten, and TRX SRT. They are organized across four categories: core, off-road, premium, and the new Rumble Bee muscle truck family. Glenn CDJR carries the full lineup, and our team can help you identify which trim aligns with how you use a truck rather than walking you through all 16 without a clear recommendation.
Yes, Glenn CDJR offers online pre-qualification through our financing application page, which connects you with our lender network before you set foot on the lot. Pre-qualification gives you a realistic payment range before you configure your truck, which makes the in-store conversation faster and more straightforward. Glenn CDJR works with buyers across the credit spectrum, and our finance team’s goal is a payment structure that actually fits your situation, not just the one that closes the deal fastest.
For buyers who want a capable, well-equipped daily driver without spending into the premium tiers, the Big Horn or Laramie are the most common landing points. The Big Horn covers the practical bases at an accessible price and is the most popular Ram trim nationally for good reason. The Laramie steps up the interior quality and technology for buyers who want the truck to feel refined on the commute as much as it performs on the job site. If off-road use is part of the plan, the Rebel is the natural starting point. Our team asks a few questions about how you actually use a truck before making a recommendation, which consistently leads buyers to a trim they’re happy with long term.
Yes. Glenn CDJR accepts trade-ins with active loan balances regularly. Our team contacts your lender to get the payoff amount and factors it into the deal structure. If your truck is worth more than what you owe, the positive equity goes directly toward your down payment on the new Ram. If you owe more than the vehicle is worth, the difference can typically be rolled into the new financing. You can use our online trade appraisal tool to get a starting estimate before your visit so you arrive knowing roughly where you stand.
The Ram 1500 differentiates itself from the F-150 and Silverado primarily on ride quality and interior refinement. Its coil-spring rear suspension delivers a noticeably smoother ride than the leaf-spring setups on most F-150 and Silverado configurations, which matters for daily commuters who spend real time in the truck. The Ram’s interior materials, particularly on Laramie and above, are widely considered the most refined in the half-ton segment. Where the F-150 and Silverado compete strongly is in available powertrains and total payload capacity on specific configurations. For buyers who prioritize ride quality, cabin comfort, and towing capability in one package, the Ram 1500 Hurricane SO consistently comes out ahead. For buyers whose primary concern is max payload or specific work-truck configurations, the comparison is worth running side by side with our team.
The 2027 Ram 1500 is the most capable and most varied half-ton truck Ram has ever built, and the Rumble Bee’s addition means there is now a configuration of this truck that has no competitor anywhere in the segment. At Glenn CDJR in Crestwood, you get the full lineup at the price listed online, transparent trade-in appraisals, and a sales team that knows the difference between the Hurricane SO and the Hurricane HO before you ask.
