Meet the 2027 RAM 3500 at Brady CDJR

The 2027 RAM 3500 puts substantial work and trailer demands first. Above the light-duty 1500 and alongside the 2500, this heavy-duty pickup offers gas or diesel power and available dual rear wheels.

If you are comparing heavy-duty trucks in Bessemer, start with what you carry and tow. Brady CDJR in Bessemer, AL, offers a local starting point for that conversation. Core pickup trims include Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited. Choose the hardware first, then make it your truck.

2027 RAM 3500 Interior

Regular Cab creates a front-seat workspace; Crew Cab and Mega Cab add rear seating. Equipment groups tailor the cabin’s comfort and storage.

Interior Dimensions

  • Seating capacity: Two or three in Regular Cab; five or six in Crew Cab and Mega Cab, depending on front seating
  • Front legroom: 40.9 inches across cab styles
  • Rear legroom: 40.2 inches in Crew Cab; 43.1 inches in Mega Cab
  • Front headroom: 39.8 inches in Regular Cab; 40.9 inches in Crew Cab and Mega Cab
  • Rear headroom: 39.8 inches in Crew Cab; 40.3 inches in Mega Cab

Consider Mega Cab when rear passengers are regular travel companions rather than occasional riders.

Interior Highlights

  • Tradesman equipment groups: Available cloth bench seating

  • Laramie Level 1 Plus Equipment Group: Power-adjustable, ventilated front bucket seats with leather and suede accents
  • Specified Crew Cab packages: Rear in-floor storage boxes

Ventilated seating can be welcome after outdoor work in Alabama heat. Separate storage keeps smaller items organized without turning the rear seating area into a loose-equipment shelf.

2027 RAM 3500 Performance

HEMI® gasoline power and available Cummins® diesel power address different work priorities. Configuration determines usable capability.

Engines and Powertrains

The standard 6.4-liter HEMI V8 delivers 405 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque and uses regular 87-octane unleaded gasoline. The available 6.7-liter High-Output Cummins turbo-diesel inline-6 produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque, with peak torque at 1,800 rpm.

Consider the diesel’s low-rpm output for heavy towing, but compare either engine to the truck’s ratings and your ownership routine.

Transmission and Drivetrain

  • Gas transmission: TorqueFlite HD 8HP75 eight-speed automatic
  • Diesel transmission: TorqueFlite HD 8AP1075 eight-speed automatic
  • Axle ratios: 3.73 or 4.10 with gas; 3.42 with diesel
  • Drivetrain choices: 4×2 and 4×4, subject to configuration; Mega Cab is 4×4
  • Part-time 4WD operation: Includes 4WD High and 4WD Low

Low range supports controlled low-speed operation when conditions require it. Select the drivetrain for your routes, but keep traction decisions separate from towing and payload limits.

Towing, Payload, and Capability

The preliminary 2027 towing and payload ratings include:

  • Diesel trailer rating: 37,020 pounds for Regular Cab Tradesman 4×2, 8-foot bed, dual rear wheels, 3.42 axle ratio, and 14,000-pound GVWR
  • Gas payload rating: 7,580 pounds for Regular Cab Tradesman 4×2, 8-foot bed, dual rear wheels, and 14,000-pound GVWR
  • Diesel Crew Cab trailer rating: 33,560 pounds for Tradesman 4×4, 8-foot bed, dual rear wheels, 3.42 axle ratio, and 14,000-pound GVWR

Include passengers, cargo, accessories, hitch equipment, and trailer tongue or pin weight in the load calculation. Confirm final ratings, hitch limits, and the individual truck’s labels before matching an equipment trailer or RV.

Driving Experience and Efficiency

The 3500 uses a three-link, coil-spring front suspension and two-stage longitudinal rear leaf springs. Optional supplemental rear air suspension is offered on eligible configurations.

Assess ride comfort around your workload, not just an empty-bed drive. Include fuel needs in your ownership planning.

2027 RAM 3500 Technology

RAM’s interfaces range from straightforward to expansive, with display and convenience equipment tied to trim and package.

Displays and Infotainment

  • Tradesman and Big Horn/Lone Star: Standard 8.4-inch Uconnect® radio; 12-inch radio through applicable packages
  • Laramie: Standard 12-inch radio; packaged 14.5-inch upgrade
  • Limited Longhorn and Limited: Standard 14.5-inch radio

Try frequently used controls in person; easy access to media and vehicle information matters more than screen size alone.

Connectivity and Convenience

  • Big Horn Level 2: Rear USB charging connections on applicable two-row cabs; dual wireless charging with specified bucket seats
  • Laramie Level 1 Plus and Level 2: Dual wireless charging
  • Audio choices: Alpine nine-speaker system standard on Laramie; Harman Kardon® 17-speaker system packaged on Laramie and standard on Limited Longhorn and Limited

Match charging equipment to compatible devices. Premium audio adds cabin appeal for long-distance travel.

2027 RAM 3500 Safety

The RAM 3500 combines assistance systems with visibility and parking equipment. These features support an attentive driver; they do not replace proper loading, clearance checks, or trailer control.

Driver-Assistance Technology

  • Adaptive Cruise Control: Standard across the core trims
  • Blind-spot Monitoring with conventional trailer coverage and Rear Cross Path detection: Standard on Laramie, Limited Longhorn, and Limited; packaged on Tradesman and Big Horn/Lone Star
  • Safety Group equipment: Active Lane Management and Forward Collision Mitigation with Automatic Emergency Braking

Review system operating conditions, especially trailer-coverage limitations. Traffic monitoring and braking assistance do not remove the need for appropriate following distance and mirror checks.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

  • ParkView® rear backup camera: Standard, with dynamic gridlines and zoom
  • ParkSense® front/rear park assist: Standard on Big Horn/Lone Star and higher core trims; packaged on Tradesman
  • 360-degree surround-view camera: Available through Tow Technology Group
  • Airbags: Six across cab styles

Use camera views to gather information, then verify obstacles and clearances directly. A trailer changes the space you need to maneuver, even with the pickup’s parking assistance.
