The RAM 1500 is a full-size, light-duty pickup for drivers balancing everyday comfort, passengers, cargo and towing. Compare the model year, engine and equipment on the specific truck you are considering. The labeled 2026 sections remain available for comparison; our 2026–2027 model-year comparison highlights why the published ratings should not be carried from one year to the next.
2027 MODEL-YEAR RESEARCH
RAM lists up to 11,530 pounds of towing and up to 2,340 pounds of payload for different properly equipped 2027 configurations.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque (lb-ft) | Towing (lb) | Payload (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 305 | 269 | 8,100 | 2,340 |
| 5.7L HEMI V8 | 395 | 410 | 11,470 | 1,760 |
| 3.0L Hurricane | 420 | 469 | 11,530 | 1,880 |
| High-Output 3.0L Hurricane | 540 | 521 | 9,480 | 1,530 |
TRX SRT and other specialized performance models are outside this four-engine table. Verify the exact truck’s labels and configuration-specific towing information.
The regular Hurricane, High-Output Hurricane, HEMI V8 and Pentastar V6 serve different priorities. Compare the engine with cab, bed and axle equipment; the highest horsepower option is not automatically the highest towing option.
Use the clearly labeled 2026 sections for 2026 vehicles. Compare both years using actual equipment, current incentives and an itemized quote; confirm availability and vehicle location before traveling.
Factory 2027 information checked October 26, 2026. Ratings depend on configuration; no model-year announcement guarantees Bonham stock.Start with new inventory, compare the trim cards below, then review RAM 1500 specials or request an itemized quote. Model and trim images are illustrative; equipment and availability vary by VIN.
Comparing new and pre-owned? Browse used RAM 1500 trucks by price, mileage, model year and equipment. Ask for available history and service records, and verify towing and payload ratings for the specific truck.
Open a listing to check its model year, price, VIN, photos and window sticker. Contact our Bonham team to confirm equipment and availability before your visit, and ask our team for a comparison of the vehicles that fit your needs.
Start with work essentials. The 2026 Tradesman combines an 8.4-inch Uconnect screen, a vinyl front bench and 18-inch steel wheels.
Choose it when cab, bed and powertrain take priority over luxury equipment. Compare Express for body-color styling, or Big Horn/Lone Star for cloth seating and more comfort-package choices.
Choose a sportier appearance. Body-color front and rear bumpers and a gloss-black grille surround distinguish Express from the basic Tradesman look.
Consider it when appearance matters more than a luxury cabin. The optional Black Express package adds its own equipment; compare the actual window stickers before paying for a package or moving up to Big Horn/Lone Star.
Add equipment for unpaved routes. All-terrain tires, performance-tuned front and rear shocks, and a 1-inch raised ride height give Warlock functional off-road changes beyond its dark styling.
Consider it for rough access roads or recreation. Compare Rebel if you also want its larger standard screen and cabin equipment; choose the exact truck around your road, cargo and trailer needs.
Build a comfortable everyday truck. Big Horn/Lone Star offers cloth seating and a choice of comfort packages. Its available 12-inch Uconnect navigation screen comes with the Level 2 Equipment Group.
Compare a well-equipped example with Laramie: Laramie brings leather-trimmed, heated and ventilated front seats into the standard equipment. Check package content before comparing prices.
Step up to standard cabin comfort. Leather-trimmed front bucket seats with heat and ventilation, driver-seat memory and a 12-inch Uconnect navigation screen distinguish Laramie from a basic Big Horn/Lone Star.
Start here if those features are on your must-have list. Compare Limited for premium quilted leather and additional luxury equipment; confirm options such as the larger screen on the selected truck.
Combine off-road hardware with cabin upgrades. Rebel brings 33-inch tires, a 1-inch raised ride height and Bilstein performance-tuned shocks. Its standard 12-inch Uconnect navigation screen is larger than Warlock's standard 8.4-inch screen.
Compare Rebel with Warlock for the equipment you will actually use, and with RHO for a different level of performance-focused suspension and power. Verify each truck's load ratings.
Choose specialized off-road performance. The 540-hp High-Output Hurricane engine, Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shock system and nine drive modes distinguish RHO's performance package from Rebel.
Consider it when the engine and suspension are central to your purchase. Compare dimensions, driving feel and operating needs during your visit; the extra horsepower does not make RHO the lineup's maximum-towing choice.
Move beyond Laramie's cabin finish. Limited adds premium quilted leather front bucket seats with 12-way power adjustment and a wood-and-leather steering wheel.
Compare it with Limited Longhorn for a different leather treatment, then Tungsten for its 24-way massaging front seats and upgraded audio. Choose the comfort features you will use, and verify the complete equipment list on the truck.
Choose a distinctive premium interior. Longhorn's premium leather seats feature filigree detailing, giving it a different cabin character from Limited's quilted leather. Heated and ventilated front and rear seating are part of its published 2026 equipment.
Compare the two interiors in person. Longhorn's styling does not establish greater towing capacity; match the engine, configuration and vehicle ratings to your load.
Prioritize seat adjustment and cabin technology. Tungsten brings 24-way power front seats with massage, a 14.5-inch center touchscreen and a 23-speaker Klipsch audio system.
Compare these features directly with Limited and Longhorn before choosing: try the seat controls, screen layout and audio during your visit. This is a luxury-equipment decision; towing and payload still depend on the specific truck.
The RAM 1500 offers multiple engine choices for drivers who need everything from everyday efficiency and payload capability to serious towing and high-performance power. Available powertrains include the 3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque, the 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque and two available 3.0L Hurricane engines. Properly equipped RAM 1500 models can tow up to 11,610 pounds and offer maximum available payload of up to 2,360 pounds.
Choosing between powertrains? Use our RAM 1500 engine comparison guide to match the model year, engine and towing requirements before comparing specific trucks.
A proven RAM 1500 powertrain offering up to 305 horsepower and strong payload capability for everyday driving, work and light-duty towing.
The available HEMI V8 delivers 395 horsepower along with the sound and response many truck shoppers want from a V8-powered RAM 1500.
The available Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six produces up to 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque while supporting strong RAM 1500 towing capability.
Available on select premium and performance models, the High-Output Hurricane delivers up to 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque.
A properly equipped 2026 RAM 1500 can tow up to 11,610 pounds. Maximum towing and payload depend on engine, drivetrain, cab, bed length, axle ratio and equipment, so the right RAM 1500 configuration depends on what you plan to tow or haul.
2026 capability reference checked October 1, 2026. Compare RAM’s engine ratings. HEMI payload must be checked on the selected truck’s label.
Start with the occupant-and-cargo allowance on the specific truck’s label. Subtract passengers, tools, cargo and added equipment, then account for the trailer’s tongue load. A brochure towing maximum does not tell you how much payload remains in the truck you select.
Include the trailer’s contents, passengers and anything that rides in the bed.
Check cab, bed, drivetrain, axle, engine and installed towing equipment.
Use the owner’s manual and verify GVWR, GCWR, axle, tire, hitch and towing limits. The lowest applicable limit controls.

BONHAM CHRYSLER · PLAN YOUR NEXT STEP
The trim cards above explain the equipment. Use these questions to decide which differences are worth paying for on the truck you will drive.
List the comfort features you want first, then compare two complete window stickers and quotes. Look at the actual seat material, adjustment, heating or ventilation, screen and package content. A highly optioned lower trim may narrow the price gap.
Drive the engines you are considering on a comparable route. Compare response, the vehicle-specific towing and payload ratings, fuel requirements and the full price. Engine preference and maximum advertised horsepower answer different buying questions.
Compare the tires, suspension and installed protection against the roads you actually drive. Test noise, ride and entry height. A performance-focused truck still needs a separate capacity check for passengers, cargo and a trailer.
Work from the actual loaded trailer and carrying requirement. If the selected 1500 cannot meet every applicable limit, compare RAM 2500 or RAM 3500. A more expensive 1500 trim is not a substitute for sufficient capacity.
The RAM 1500 combines full-size truck capability with available premium technology, passenger comfort and useful everyday features. Depending on trim and equipment, shoppers can choose from large digital displays, premium seating, advanced connectivity and high-end audio.
The available 14.5-inch Uconnect touchscreen provides access to entertainment, navigation and cabin controls, with available split-screen functionality for viewing multiple applications.
An available 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display gives the front passenger access to compatible entertainment, navigation and vehicle information.
RAM 1500 Tungsten models offer an available Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System with 23 speakers for an immersive premium listening experience.
RAM 1500 Tungsten offers available 24-way power-adjustable front seats with heat, ventilation, memory and massage functionality for premium long-distance comfort.
Features shown are available on select 2026 RAM 1500 trims and configurations. Equipment and availability vary by vehicle.

Shopping both model years? RAM publishes different towing and payload maximums for 2026 and 2027. Use the year on the window sticker when comparing a truck with your trailer and cargo.
| Published capability | 2026 RAM 1500 | 2027 RAM 1500 |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum available towing | Up to 11,610 lb | Up to 11,530 lb |
| Maximum available payload | Up to 2,360 lb | Up to 2,340 lb |
These are separate manufacturer-published maximums for properly equipped configurations, not the ratings of every truck. The configuration that achieves maximum towing may differ from the one that achieves maximum payload. Options, passengers, cargo and trailer hitch weight affect the available capacity. Confirm the selected VIN, vehicle labels, owner’s manual and applicable towing guide before loading or towing.
For 2027, RAM’s model overview lists available HEMI V8, Hurricane and Pentastar V6 engine choices. Equipment and trim availability depend on the model year and configuration; confirm the exact truck rather than assuming the 2026 feature descriptions apply unchanged.
Manufacturer references checked October 2, 2026: 2026 RAM 1500 capability · 2027 RAM 1500 capability · 2027 RAM 1500 overview. Listings and our team can confirm current availability.
