The 2027 Ram 1500 is arriving at dealers now with a lineup that spans ten trim levels, four engines, and a price range from $45,170 to $91,795 with destination before specialty models. KBB listings confirm 2026 Big Horn configurations at $3,500 below sticker and RHO models at $6,775 below sticker on current dealer inventory, reflecting the discount environment that carries directly into 2027 negotiations. Confirmed pricing sourced from Cars.com and Car and Driver data compiled in July 2026: Tradesman at $45,170, Express at $47,295, Big Horn/Lone Star at $50,425, Warlock at $56,010, and Longhorn at $79,895, all including the $2,795 destination charge. The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT returns with 777 horsepower at $99,995 plus $2,795 destination, confirmed directly from Ram’s own press release, and is now the first high-performance off-road gas pickup to offer hands-free driving capability. The Ram 1500 competes against the Ford F-150 (covered separately in this guide series), Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Tundra.

Confirmed destination-inclusive starting prices for the 2027 Ram 1500: Tradesman at $45,170, Express at $47,295, Big Horn/Lone Star at $50,425, Warlock at $56,010, Longhorn at $79,895, and Tungsten at $91,795. The Laramie, Rebel, RHO, and Limited sit between the Warlock and Longhorn in the pricing ladder. Year-over-year price increases are modest: the Laramie, Rebel, Limited, and Tungsten rise by $200, the Tradesman and Big Horn increase by $350, and the RHO sees the largest increase at $1,200 , with the addition of the available Popular Equipment Group adding the 14.5-inch touchscreen and 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system at that trim level. Like the Ford F-150, the Ram 1500’s final price depends heavily on cab style (Regular, Quad, or Crew Cab), bed length (5.7-foot or 6.4-foot), drivetrain (4×2 or 4×4), and engine choice. Our Insider Access to Dealer Pricing tool puts real competing local dealer quotes in front of you before you ever step onto any lot.
The invoice price is what a Ram dealer paid Stellantis for the vehicle on their lot, sitting below the MSRP by a margin the dealer has no reason to share. On the 2027 Ram 1500, the gap between MSRP and dealer invoice typically runs approximately $1,500 to $3,500 depending on trim, with the wider dollar spread on Longhorn, Limited, Tungsten, RHO, and TRX given their significantly higher price points. The invoice figure is your negotiating anchor, not the window sticker.
Stellantis’s dealer holdback adds roughly 2 to 3 percent of base MSRP back to the dealer after each vehicle sells, which on a $79,895 Longhorn represents approximately $1,598 to $2,397 in additional margin beneath the invoice figure. KBB listings confirm real movement below sticker on comparable 2026 configurations: a Big Horn Level 2 at $60,770 against $64,270 MSRP saves $3,500, and an RHO Level 1 at $82,470 against $89,245 MSRP saves $6,775. These discounts directly reflect the negotiating environment buyers can expect on 2027 configurations as inventory builds.
The Ram 1500’s engine choice is the most consequential configuration decision because it affects performance, towing capacity, fuel economy, and price simultaneously. Deciding on powertrain before comparing trim prices prevents mismatched comparisons across configurations with fundamentally different capabilities.
The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 produces 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque and is the standard engine on entry trims. Fuel economy runs 20 city and 25 highway MPG. This is the correct engine for buyers who want the Ram 1500 at the lowest possible price for light-duty everyday use and whose towing needs fall well within the V6’s capability range.
The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 returns for 2027, producing naturally aspirated V8 power and the HEMI’s distinctive character. For buyers who specifically want a V8-powered half-ton truck and the traditional American truck experience the HEMI delivers, the 5.7-liter is the answer at a meaningful premium over the base V6.
The 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six in Standard Output produces 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, representing the most significant performance step in the lineup before the RHO’s High Output version. The Hurricane inline-six is available across multiple middle and upper trims and delivers genuinely strong performance, superior torque over the HEMI at lower RPM, and better efficiency than the V8. For buyers who want the strongest everyday performance without the RHO’s premium, the Hurricane Standard Output is the performance sweet spot.
The 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output on the RHO and upper configurations pushes output further, making it the highest-performance non-supercharged powertrain in the Ram 1500 lineup before the 777-horsepower TRX SRT.
The Ram 1500’s ten standard trims organize into three clear groups based on buyer purpose, making the lineup easier to navigate than comparing all ten simultaneously.
The work and value group (Tradesman, Express, Big Horn/Lone Star) serves buyers focused on capability at accessible prices. The Tradesman at $45,170 is the fleet-focused work entry with vinyl flooring, steel wheels, and the Pentastar V6. The Express at $47,295 adds exterior sport styling and 20-inch wheels. The Big Horn and Lone Star (same trim, regional names) at $50,425 deliver the most complete everyday configuration in the value group, adding a 12-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and a level of daily comfort that makes the Ram 1500 a genuinely competitive daily driver. KBB listings confirm Big Horn configurations at $3,500 below sticker on current inventory, making the effective price well into the mid-$50,000s for well-equipped configurations after negotiation.
The lifestyle and specialty group (Warlock, Laramie, Rebel, RHO) serves buyers with specific appearance, performance, or off-road priorities. The Warlock at $56,010 delivers a blacked-out appearance package with Ram Box storage, sport hood, and unique exterior treatment. The Laramie steps up to premium content including leather seating and more complete technology. The Rebel adds Ram’s off-road hardware with skid plates, off-road suspension, and trail-ready capability. The RHO is the off-road performance flagship of the non-TRX lineup, adding the Hurricane High Output engine alongside off-road-specific hardware. For 2027 the RHO gains an available Popular Equipment Group with the 14.5-inch touchscreen and 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio, making it more configurable than any prior year. A KBB listing confirms an RHO at $6,775 below sticker, the largest documented discount in this guide on any Ram 1500 configuration.
The luxury group (Longhorn, Limited, Tungsten) serves buyers who want the Ram 1500’s capability in its most refined expression. The Longhorn at $79,895 delivers genuine ranch-themed luxury with authentic wood and leather interior, the most complete standard content below the Tungsten, and a distinctive Western aesthetic. The Limited adds further luxury content. The Tungsten at $91,795 tops the standard lineup with the highest-specification interior available in any half-ton pickup truck, massaging seats, the largest available touchscreen, and the most complete standard technology.
The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT is confirmed at $99,995 before the $2,795 destination charge, directly from Ram’s own official press release. The TRX delivers 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque from a supercharged V8. New for 2027, the TRX is the first high-performance off-road gas pickup truck to offer Hands-Free Active Drive Assist as standard, making it unique in the segment. An optional Bloodshot Night edition package at $9,995 adds a hand-painted Diamond Black exterior with a custom Flame Red center stripe and unique graphics. For buyers whose priority is the most extreme factory-performance off-road pickup available with the Ram nameplate, the TRX is the definitive answer at its confirmed price point.
Beyond engine and trim, three configuration decisions affect the final price of any Ram 1500 significantly. Choosing 4×4 over 4×2 adds approximately $3,000 to $4,000 depending on trim. Moving from a Quad Cab to a Crew Cab adds approximately $2,500 to $3,500. The Rebel, RHO, and TRX come standard with 4×4 and specific cab/bed combinations. Making all three configuration decisions before requesting dealer quotes ensures you are comparing equivalent vehicles across dealers rather than mixing 4×2 Regular Cab and 4×4 Crew Cab pricing as if they represent the same purchase.
Stellantis Financial Services regularly offers promotional APR financing, cash-back incentives, and conquest bonuses for buyers switching from competing brands. Ram maintains military appreciation pricing for active duty and veteran buyers, college graduate pricing for recent graduates, and first responder discounts. The Ram 1500 carries Ram’s standard 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Getting a competitive local dealer quote through our Insider Access to Dealer Pricing tool gives you the most accurate picture of your real out-the-door cost before committing to anything.
Based on KBB listings confirming $3,500 to $6,775 below sticker on comparable 2026 configurations and the modest year-over-year price increases of $200 to $1,200 for 2027, here is what a strong negotiated outcome looks like. On the Tradesman at $45,170 with destination, targeting $42,500 to $44,500 is achievable with competing quotes. On the Express, targeting $44,500 to $46,500 is realistic. On the Big Horn/Lone Star at $50,425 base, targeting $47,000 to $49,500 on base configurations and $57,000 to $62,000 on optioned Level 2 configurations reflects what KBB listings confirm on current inventory. On the Warlock, targeting $52,500 to $55,000 is achievable. On the Laramie, targeting $57,000 to $62,000 reflects the discount pattern. On the Rebel, targeting $60,000 to $65,000 depending on equipment is realistic. On the RHO, targeting $75,000 to $82,000 reflects what the KBB listing at $82,470 confirms before additional negotiation. On the Longhorn at $79,895, targeting $75,000 to $78,000 is achievable. On the Tungsten at $91,795, targeting $86,000 to $90,000 reflects competitive pricing with multi-dealer comparison.
These benchmarks assume you have made all four configuration decisions (engine, cab style, bed length, 4×2 or 4×4) before requesting any dealer quotes, gathered competing quotes from multiple local Ram dealers, and kept the trade-in conversation completely separate from the new vehicle price negotiation.
