Ram Just Gave The 2027 1500 Seven Engines—Including A 777-HP Monster—To Bury The New Silverado in PaperworkChevy thought it could waltz in with a fresh Silverado and own the conversation. Ram heard that and decided to empty the entire toolbox onto the table. The 2027 Ram 1500 just landed with a sprawling update that touches nearly every trim, headlined by a stat that reads like a typo: seven engines, topping out at a 777-horsepower supercharged monster. This is not a brand playing defense.The rollout actually started a while back with the Rumble Bee street trucks, and order books for the 777-hp TRX SRT cracked open just days ago. But those are the halo machines. The news here is everything happening to the trucks regular humans will actually buy and finance, because Ram has now detailed the full slate of changes coming to the bread-and-butter 1500 for the new model year.Walk up the ladder and the upgrades pile on. Tradesman, Black Express, Warlock and Rebel trims get a new Satin Black Symbol of Protest fender badge, which also shows up when you tick the Night Edition Package. The Big Horn in Crew Cab form with the Level 2 group finally adds passive entry. Laramie buyers get rain-sensing wipers as standard and can option a 360-degree surround-view camera. The Limited and Limited Longhorn make that 360-degree camera standard and add a RamBox delete option for anyone who wants the widest possible bed.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe off-road-flavored RHO arguably wins the update lottery. A new Popular Equipment Group runs $2,995 and bundles in a 14.5-inch touchscreen, a 19-speaker Harman Kardon system and a standard 360-degree camera, plus a tailgate badge wearing a cheeky rhino-head motif. Elsewhere, V6 eTorque trucks can be optioned with a 2-kW onboard power system feeding a pair of 120V bed outlets, Flame Red returns to the paint chart, Tank goes more widely available, and a shade called Goldilocks joins select models.Then there's the engine bay, which is where this lineup gets genuinely silly. Things kick off with a 3.6-liter V6 making 305 hp, followed by two 5.7-liter Hemi V8s rated at 395 hp apiece, one of them packing eTorque hybrid assist. It's a reminder that the Hemi V8's return to the 1500 lineup still anchors the range. Next come the 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane sixes in 420-hp and 540-hp tunes. Capping it all are two more Hemis: a 6.4-liter good for 470 hp and the absolutely unhinged 6.2-liter supercharged unit churning out 777 hp.That big supercharged mill lives in the TRX SRT and Rumble Bee SRT. In the Rumble Bee SRT, it flings the truck from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and on to a 170-mph top speed, which is a deeply unreasonable set of numbers for something with a bed. We saw this coming when Ram set out to revive the TRX and add a second SRT truck, and the production numbers don't disappoint. Want the same firepower with proper off-road hardware? That's what the TRX SRT is for. For the people who actually tow, max capacity lands at 11,530 pounds, and you get it with the 420-hp Hurricane six rather than any of the V8s.The why here is obvious. Ram is swinging at the perennial best-selling Ford F-150 and bracing for the new Silverado, and it's using a four-strong Rumble Bee range to stake out territory neither rival fully covers. We got an early taste of that attitude when Ram's 650-hp street truck brought Mopar muscle back to the pavement. It's also a long way from the moment Stellantis canceled the all-electric Ram 1500 amid slowing EV truck demand, with gas-fed muscle very much back in charge. And the momentum is real: Ram's light-duty pickups posted a 27% year-over-year sales jump in the U.S. in Q1 2026, the strongest growth of any Stellantis brand.AdvertisementAdvertisementIf history is any guide, the supercharged hero trucks will grab the headlines while the quietly improved Big Horns and Laramies do the heavy lifting at the dealership.
