2027 Ram 1500 Performance 🡫
Every 2027 Ram 1500 engine works with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The available powertrains give shoppers distinct choices, including efficient V6 capability, traditional HEMI V8 performance, and two versions of the turbocharged Hurricane inline-six.
For maximum payload capacity, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque while supporting up to 2,340 pounds of payload. The returning 5.7L HEMI V8 generates 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque and is offered on trims from Tradesman through Rebel for drivers who prefer familiar V8 power.
A 3.0L Hurricane inline-six delivers 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, along with a maximum available towing capacity of 11,530 pounds when properly equipped. The High-Output version raises performance to 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. According to Ram, that output exceeds the standard power ratings of the Ford F-150 Raptor, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Tundra.
