Everything You Should Know Before the 2027 Ram Power Wagon Diesel Arrives

The Ram Power Wagon has long been the go-to choice for drivers who demand uncompromising off-road capability combined with heavy-duty hauling power. For 2027, Ram answers years of customer requests by introducing the first-ever Power Wagon equipped with the legendary 6.7-litre Cummins turbo diesel engine. This combination delivers best-in-class torque, extended range, and the proven off-road dominance that has defined the Power Wagon nameplate since its reintroduction in 2005.

Whether you're planning remote overlanding adventures, hauling heavy trailers into backcountry campsites, or simply want the most capable full-size pickup available, the 2027 Power Wagon with Cummins diesel brings a major shift to the heavy-duty off-road segment. Here are five essential things you need to know about this highly anticipated truck.

1. Best-in-Class Diesel Torque: 1,075 lb-ft from the 6.7L Cummins HO

The heart of the 2027 Power Wagon diesel is the 6.7-litre Cummins High-Output turbo diesel inline-six engine. This powerplant produces 430 horsepower and an industry-leading 1,075 lb-ft of torque, establishing a new benchmark for base diesel torque in the heavy-duty pickup segment. The Cummins engine uses electronic high-pressure common-rail fuel injection and selective catalytic reduction emission controls to deliver clean, efficient power.

Power is channeled through the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission, which has been specifically calibrated to optimize the diesel's massive torque output. Ram engineers adopted a 3.42 rear axle ratio for the diesel Power Wagon - a setup that provides higher final drive ratios in gears one through six for confident towing and acceleration, while gears seven and eight deliver lower ratios for improved highway fuel economy and reduced noise and vibration.

Key Powertrain Highlights:

• 6.7L Cummins HO turbo diesel inline-six engine
• 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque
• TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission
• 3.42:1 rear axle ratio for optimized performance and efficiency

2. Unmatched Off-Road Capability Remains Standard

Despite the addition of diesel power, the 2027 Power Wagon retains its title as the most off-road-capable full-size pickup. The truck features front and rear electronic-locking differentials activated by electromagnetic actuators. When disengaged, the rear locker functions as a mechanical anti-slip differential for enhanced passive grip.

The axles, built by American Axle Manufacturing, measure 235 mm in the front and 292 mm in the rear, with robust 38-mm rear axle shafts providing direct rotating force to the 34-inch all-terrain tires.

The suspension system uses an advanced three-link front setup with Bilstein monotube shocks and a class-exclusive electronic disconnecting sway bar. This design allows the front axle to move more independently of the truck's frame, dramatically improving articulation on challenging terrain.

At the rear, Ram's class-exclusive five-link coil suspension delivers superior ride quality and articulation compared to traditional leaf springs, while a Bilstein dampener connects the rear axle to the frame for enhanced control and stability.

Strategic underbody packaging yields 320 mm of ground clearance, complemented by a 24.6-degree approach angle, 25.5-degree departure angle, and 19.7-degree breakover angle. Standard Mopar accessory rock rails protect the cab and chassis, while underbody skid plates shield the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank, fuel tank, and transfer case from trail damage.

3. Towing and Payload Powerhouse: Nearly 9,072 kg Capacity

The Cummins diesel transforms the Power Wagon into a true workhorse capable of handling the heaviest loads. The truck delivers a tow rating of nearly 9,072 kg (20,000 lbs) and a payload capacity of almost 1,360 kg (3,000 lbs), making it ideal for hauling ATVs, side-by-sides, bed storage systems, drop-in campers, and large trailers.

For the first time, the Power Wagon diesel can be optioned with fifth-wheel/gooseneck preparation, significantly expanding its utility for both work and recreational applications.

Available Automatic-Leveling Rear Air-Suspension maintains a level stance under heavy loads and includes a Bed Lowering Mode for effortless trailer hook-up. This system enhances ride quality while providing the load-carrying capability serious haulers demand.

The Towing Technology Group adds an LED third brake light with Cargo-View Camera, surround 360-degree camera system, Trailer Reverse Guidance, and Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The Tow Technology Plus Group further enhances capability with Digital Rearview Mirror 3.0 and Trailer Reverse Steering Control.

Towing & Hauling Specifications:

• Tow rating: 9,072 kg (20,000 lbs)
• Payload capacity: 1,360 kg (3,000 lbs)
• Available fifth-wheel/gooseneck preparation
• Available Automatic-Leveling Rear Air-Suspension with Bed Lowering Mode

4. Extended Range for Remote Adventures: 966 km on a Single Tank

One of the clearest advantages of diesel power is extended range, and the 2027 Power Wagon delivers in this area. The truck comes equipped with a standard 117-litre fuel tank that, combined with diesel efficiency, enables an estimated 966-km range.

This extended capability is ideal for overlanders and remote travelers who venture far from fuel stations, providing the confidence to explore backcountry destinations without range anxiety.

The combination of the large fuel tank, efficient diesel engine, and optimized gearing means fewer fuel stops during long-haul towing or extended off-road expeditions. Whether you're towing a travel trailer to a remote campsite or exploring unmapped trails, the Power Wagon diesel keeps you moving when others need to turn back.

5. Premium Interior Technology and Rugged Functionality

Inside, the 2027 Power Wagon with Cummins diesel offers the same best-in-class interior found across the Ram Heavy Duty lineup. Standard equipment includes a 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen infotainment system, integrated trailer brake controller, ParkView rear backup camera with dynamic gridlines, and ParkSense front and rear park assist.

Advanced safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind-spot Monitoring with trailer coverage, Pedestrian Detection, and Rear Cross Path Detection come standard.

For buyers seeking a more utilitarian setup, a heated cloth bench seat is available as standard, with the option to upgrade to heated and ventilated leather-trimmed bucket seats. The Power Wagon Level 2 Equipment Group adds extended leather touchpoints throughout the cabin, including grab handles and the column shifter, creating an elevated experience that balances rugged capability with premium comfort.

Optional upgrades include a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen - the largest in the heavy-duty segment - along with the class-exclusive Front Passenger Interactive Display, trailer tow and off-road info pages, and premium amplified audio systems from Alpine (9-speaker) or Harman Kardon (17-speaker).

The exterior design integrates iconic Power Wagon styling cues with diesel-specific details. Standard features include an aggressive sport performance hood, functional wheel arch extensions, Power Wagon bedside graphics, and Satin Black accents including Cummins badging on the front fenders.

The truck rides on 20-inch Satin Black wheels with machined accents, wrapped in 34-inch all-terrain tires. Optional upgrades include body-colour door handles, extended LED lighting, and the class-exclusive RamBox cargo management system for secure storage during outdoor adventures.
