For drivers in Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and throughout Southeast Michigan, the 2027 Ram Heavy Duty lineup brings several meaningful updates to an already capable truck family. Champion Cueter Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram is conveniently located at 2448 Washtenaw Avenue in Ypsilanti, just 15 minutes from Ann Arbor via Washtenaw Ave., making it easy to learn more about the latest Ram 2500 and Ram 3500. For 2027, Ram focuses on adding capability, expanding options, and giving Heavy Duty buyers more ways to configure their trucks.

What is the Ram Heavy Duty Payload Upgrade Package?

One of the biggest changes for 2027 is the available Payload Upgrade Package for select Ram 2500 models with the 6.4L HEMI V8. This package brings hardware borrowed from the Ram 3500, including a 3500 frame, rear leaf springs, and an anti-spin rear differential.

With the package, select Ram 2500 configurations can reach:

  • 4,580 pounds of maximum payload
  • 17,740 pounds of maximum towing capacity
  • 3500-based frame and rear suspension components
The package is available on select Tradesman, Big Horn, Lone Star, Laramie, Limited, and Limited Longhorn models, giving buyers another option for increasing their truck's capability without stepping up to a Ram 3500. 

The First-Ever Diesel Power Wagon

The Ram 2500 Power Wagon gets one of the most exciting updates for 2027: the available 6.7L Cummins High-Output turbo diesel, marking the first time this legendary diesel has been offered in a Power Wagon. 

The Cummins-powered Power Wagon delivers: 

  • 430 horsepower
  • 1,075 lb.-ft. of torque
  •  Electronic-locking front and rear differentials 
  •  Bilstein shocks 
  •  34-inch all-terrain tires 
  •  Underbody protection 
  •  Disconnecting front stabilizer bar 
  •  Hill Descent Control 
This combination gives the off-road-focused Power Wagon significantly more muscle for towing and hauling while maintaining the rugged equipment that makes it so capable away from the pavement. 

Are More Standalone Options Available for the 2027 Ram Heavy Duty?

Yes, Ram is also giving Heavy Duty shoppers more flexibility when configuring their trucks for 2027. Several previously bundled features become available as standalone options.

Notable changes include:

  • Anti-spin rear differential available separately on the Ram 2500 Tradesman
  • Warn electric winch available separately on HEMI-powered Rebel and Power Wagon models
  • Sport Performance hood available separately on Rebel and Power Wagon
  • Expanded RamBox availability on Laramie models
  • Body-color fender flares available on Laramie
These changes make it easier to choose the specific equipment you want without necessarily adding an entire package.
