| 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo I6 | 420 hp / 469 lb-ft | 11,530 lb | 1,880 lb |

The Rumble Bee 392 uses a 470-hp 6.4L HEMI V8. All engines use an 8-speed automatic. Go deeper in our Hurricane engine specs guide and the HEMI's return.
Early 2027 HEMI trucks are built with eTorque; later builds drop it and its automatic stop-start, and Ram rates them differently. The window sticker shows which version a truck has, and our team will confirm the towing rating on the exact truck you choose.
The 2027 Ram 1500 tows up to 11,530 lb with the 3.0L Hurricane and carries up to 2,340 lb with the 3.6L V6. Actual ratings depend on cab, bed, axle ratio and drivetrain, so check the door-jamb label and towing chart for the exact truck. Our Ram 1500 towing capacity chart breaks it down by configuration.
A Ram 1500 handles the trips most Sacramento-area owners make: a ski boat to Folsom Lake, a travel trailer up US-50 toward Lake Tahoe, or a utility trailer around job sites in Elk Grove and Galt. For long Sierra climbs with a trailer near the limit, the Hurricane's turbo torque holds speed better at altitude than a non-turbo V8. If your trailer weighs more than about 11,000 lb, look at the Ram 2500.
| Cab | Bed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quad Cab | 6 ft 4 in | Smaller rear doors, longer bed |
| Crew Cab | 5 ft 7 in or 6 ft 4 in | Full-size rear doors and the most rear legroom |
| Quad Cab widebody | 5 ft 7 in | Rumble Bee family, 4x4 |
All configurations come in 4x2 or 4x4 except the widebody trucks. Not sure which cab fits? Read Crew Cab vs Quad Cab.
The 1500 rides and drives more like a car, fits in more garages and costs less to run. Step up to the 2500 when your trailer is over roughly 11,000 lb, you need a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch, or you carry heavy loads in the bed every day. Compare them side by side in Ram 1500 vs 2500.
The Ram 1500 REV, the range-extended truck first shown as the Ramcharger, is due in 2027.
