2027 RAM 2500 For Sale
The 2027 RAM 2500 arrives as a significant heavy-duty update, and the headline news is the powertrain lineup. For the first time, the Power Wagon is available with the 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output turbo-diesel inline-six, which produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque, while the reworked 6.4-liter HEMI V8 delivers 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft. According to the Ram newsroom, a new Payload Upgrade Package pushes the 2500 to a best-in-class 4,580 lbs of payload, and max towing with the Cummins reaches 20,000 lbs.
This truck is built for the contractor hauling equipment across Eastern Connecticut, the family towing a camper up to New Hampshire, and the driver who refuses to be outworked by their vehicle. At Falvey's Motors in Norwich, we've sold heavy-duty Rams to multiple generations of the same local families, and we wrote this page to help you choose the right one with confidence.
What Changed for 2027
The 2027 RAM 2500 is a meaningful update centered on capability, expanded powertrain availability, and a larger technology suite. The most significant change is that the Power Wagon can now be ordered with the Cummins HO turbo diesel, a first for the model.
Power Wagon Gets Cummins Diesel
The 2027 Power Wagon is available for the first time with the 6.7-liter Cummins HO turbo-diesel engine, making it the most off-road-capable production three-quarter-ton pickup you can buy with diesel power. Ram describes the Power Wagon as the benchmark off-roader, and pairing it with 1,075 lb-ft of torque changes what this trim can do. Buyers who previously had to choose between diesel torque and Power Wagon trail hardware no longer face that trade-off, a genuine reason to consider a factory order if you want a specific configuration.Higher Payload & More Tech
The 2027 model gains a new Payload Upgrade Package that raises GVWR from 10,000 to 11,040 lbs for a best-in-class 4,580 lbs of payload, priced at $835 MSRP. This package includes a 3500 frame, leaf springs, and an anti-spin rear differential, and it's available on Tradesman, Big Horn, Lone Star, Laramie, Limited, and Limited Longhorn. Inside, the truck offers the most screen coverage in its class, including an available 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen and a segment-first 10.25-inch passenger screen. You can compare equipped examples in our new RAM 2500 inventory as trucks arrive.Which Engine Should You Choose?
The 2027 RAM 2500 offers two engines, and the right one depends entirely on how you use the truck. Both are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
| Engine | Output | Max Towing | Max Payload | Best For |
| 6.4L HEMI V8 | 405 hp / 429 lb-ft | 17,740 lbs | 4,580 lbs (w/ Payload Upgrade Package) | Payload-heavy work, lower cost |
| 6.7L Cummins HO Turbo Diesel | 430 hp / 1,075 lb-ft | 20,000 lbs | Not the payload-max configuration | Serious, regular heavy towing |
If your work involves heavy payloads more than long-distance towing, the HEMI is the smart choice at a lower cost. If you regularly pull a large fifth-wheel, a loaded equipment trailer, or a sizable camper over distance, the diesel's torque and pulling stability justify the investment. Buyers who tow occasionally are usually better served by the HEMI.
Capability & Comfort
The 2027 RAM 2500 pairs heavy-duty capability with ride quality that has become a genuine differentiator in the segment. We consistently hear from buyers that the RAM rides better than competing three-quarter-ton trucks.
Segment-Exclusive Ride Quality
The RAM 2500 offers two segment-exclusive rear suspension options that most competitors can't match: a five-link coil system and an available automatic-leveling rear air suspension. The five-link coil setup delivers what Ram calls segment-leading ride quality, smoothing out the harsh, empty-bed bounce heavy-duty trucks are known for. The available air suspension adds automatic load-leveling, keeping the truck sitting level when the bed is loaded or a trailer is hitched. For drivers who use their truck as a daily vehicle as well as a work tool, ride comfort is a deciding factor.Advanced Towing Technology
The 2027 RAM 2500 includes an advanced towing suite designed to make pulling heavy loads safer and less stressful. Available features include a fully digital rearview mirror with tow mode, trailer reverse steering control, and Blind-Spot Monitoring with Trailer Tow Detection. The truck also offers class-exclusive heated power convex trailer tow mirrors with power-folding, power-telescoping, and memory functionality, plus dedicated Trailer-Tow Pages for comprehensive trailer monitoring. These systems matter most for buyers new to towing large trailers, since they remove much of the guesswork from backing up and lane changes.RamBox Cargo Management
The 2027 RAM 2500 offers class-exclusive bed functionality through the RamBox cargo management system, which adds lockable, drainable storage bins built into the bed rails. The system includes relocatable anchor points and integrated LED bed lighting, making organizing and securing gear far easier on a job site or campsite. For 2027, Laramie models gain expanded RamBox availability, giving more buyers access to this feature. If you regularly haul tools, sporting gear, or loose cargo, RamBox keeps items secure and dry in a way an open bed cannot.
2027 RAM 2500 Trim Levels
The 2027 RAM 2500 spans nine trim levels, from the work-focused Tradesman to the luxury-grade Limited Longhorn. Pricing at Falvey's Motors starts at $65,860, and the cards below run from most affordable to most premium.

Builds on the Tradesman with blacked-out styling for a purposeful, understated look, carrying the Satin Black fender badge when equipped with the HEMI V8. Work-truck value with a sharper appearance.Warlock
RAM's value-focused off-road entry, delivering trail-ready hardware at an accessible price, sitting below the Rebel and Power Wagon while still offering genuine capability.Big Horn & Lone Star

How the 2027 RAM 2500 Compares
The 2027 RAM 2500 competes most directly with the Ford Super Duty F-250 and the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, and its strongest advantage is ride quality. The RAM's five-link coil rear suspension and available automatic-leveling air suspension are segment-exclusive, giving it a smoother, more composed ride than the leaf-spring rear ends used by its rivals.
The RAM also leads in torque and interior technology. Where competitors may edge ahead on specific maximum gas-engine tow ratings, the RAM 2500 counters with a best-in-class payload and comfort features that make it far easier to live with every day. For buyers who split their time between hard work and daily driving, that combination is difficult to beat.
What to Check Before You Buy
The single most important step before buying a 2027 RAM 2500 is matching the engine and configuration to how you actually use the truck. Overbuying a diesel you rarely tow with, or underbuying payload capacity you need weekly, are the two most common mistakes we help buyers avoid.
Match the Truck to Your Needs
Start by being honest about your heaviest regular workload, then build the truck around that number rather than a worst-case scenario you face twice a year. If you tow a large fifth-wheel most weekends, the Cummins diesel and its 20,000-lb capacity makes sense, but if you mostly haul heavy payloads in the bed, the HEMI V8 with the Payload Upgrade Package delivers 4,580 lbs of payload at a lower cost. Cab and bed configuration matter too, since a Crew Cab versus Mega Cab affects both daily usability and capability. Our team can walk you through these trade-offs, and you can start a trade-in valuation to understand your budget before you commit.
What to Ask and Inspect
Before you sign, confirm exactly which optional packages are installed and whether the truck's GVWR matches your payload needs, since the Payload Upgrade Package must be ordered from the factory. Ask about the towing equipment on the specific truck, verify warranty coverage and diesel maintenance intervals if you choose the Cummins, and take a genuine test drive that mimics your real use, ideally with a trailer if you tow. If the exact configuration you want isn't in stock, a factory order lets you build the truck precisely, and reviewing current vehicle specials can help you time your purchase around manufacturer incentives.
Why Buy From Falvey's Motors
Falvey's Motors is a fourth-generation, family-owned Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM dealership that has served Norwich, CT, and Eastern Connecticut since 1932.

What Makes Our Expertise Different
We know the RAM heavy-duty lineup deeply because we sell and service these trucks every day for working customers across the region.

Because a heavy-duty truck is a significant purchase, our goal is to structure a loan that makes long-term sense rather than simply getting you approved. Here's how the process breaks down.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions below cover what buyers most often ask before choosing a 2027 RAM 2500 configuration.
Is the 2027 RAM 2500 available now?
The 2027 RAM 2500 is arriving at dealerships starting in August, and pricing at Falvey's Motors begins at $65,860. Availability of specific trims and configurations changes as trucks arrive, so the most reliable way to see current stock is to check our online inventory or contact our sales team directly. If the exact configuration you want isn't in stock, we can source an in-transit unit or place a factory order built to your specification.
HEMI V8 vs. Cummins diesel, what's the difference?
The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 produces 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque, while the 6.7-liter Cummins HO turbo diesel produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque. The practical difference comes down to use: the HEMI is less expensive to buy and better suited to payload-heavy work, offering up to 4,580 lbs of payload, while the Cummins is built for serious towing with up to 20,000 lbs of capacity. Buyers who tow large trailers regularly benefit most from the diesel, while those who tow occasionally usually find the HEMI is the smarter value.
What changed from the 2026 model?
The biggest change is that the Power Wagon is now available with the 6.7-liter Cummins HO turbo diesel for the first time. Other updates include a new $835 Payload Upgrade Package that raises payload to a best-in-class 4,580 lbs, expanded availability of the Sport Appearance and Night Edition packages, a standalone Warn winch option on Rebel and Power Wagon, expanded RamBox availability on Laramie, and new colors including Serrano Green Metallic and Tank.
Can I factory order a specific trim?
Yes, Falvey's Motors can place a factory order for a 2027 RAM 2500 built to your exact specification. Factory ordering is especially worth considering if you want a specific combination, such as a Power Wagon with the Cummins diesel or a truck with the Payload Upgrade Package, since these must be configured at the factory. Our team can guide you through the build process and give you an estimated timeline.
What warranty comes with a new 2500?
A new 2027 RAM 2500 is covered by RAM's factory warranty, which includes basic limited coverage and a longer powertrain warranty, with diesel models carrying separate coverage for the Cummins engine. Because warranty terms can be updated by the manufacturer, we recommend confirming the exact current coverage with our sales team before you buy. Choosing genuine Mopar parts and service at Falvey's helps protect that warranty.
Do military members get a discount?
Yes, Falvey's Motors offers a standing 10 percent discount for active and retired U.S. military members and first responders, and it applies to the full bill on service visits. This is not a limited-time promotion but an ongoing commitment from our family to those who serve. Simply mention your eligibility when you connect with our team, and we'll apply the discount without any extra steps.
