The biggest Ram 1500 news for 2027 is under the hood. The 2027 Ram 1500 Hemi is being switched to a non-hybrid 5.7-liter V8 without eTorque or automatic stop-start, and Ram now offers three different Hemi V8s, including a 6.4-liter in the Rumble Bee 392. Here are all the 2027 Ram 1500 changes, the seven engines and the prices Ram has announced.
2027 Ram 1500 Hemi: eTorque goes away
The 5.7-liter Hemi returned to the Ram 1500 for 2026 as an eTorque mild hybrid. For 2027, Ram confirmed to MoparInsiders that, starting early in the model year, it will phase out the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 eTorque and replace it with the non-hybrid version of the same engine. A limited number of 2027 trucks will still be built with eTorque during the changeover.
What changes for owners:
- The belt-driven motor-generator and 48-volt battery are removed.
- Automatic stop-start goes too, a Ram spokesperson told Motor1.
- Output does not change: both versions are rated at 395 hp and 410 lb-ft with an eight-speed automatic.
- MoparInsiders reports the engine keeps cylinder deactivation (Fuel Saver Technology).
The non-hybrid Hemi debuted in the Rumble Bee, and Ram has confirmed it will be used beyond that model. If you are ordering, check the order guide or window sticker for which 5.7 your truck has, because both are being built during the transition.
Three Hemi V8s in the 2027 Ram 1500
The new Rumble Bee muscle trucks are where Ram's Hemi lineup grows. They use a Quad Cab, a 5-foot-7-inch bed and a widebody, on a frame with a wheelbase 13 inches shorter than a standard Quad Cab.
- Rumble Bee: 5.7-liter Hemi, 395 hp and 410 lb-ft.
- Rumble Bee 392 and 392 Track Pack: the 6.4-liter "Apache" Hemi, 470 hp and 470 lb-ft.
- Rumble Bee SRT: a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi with 777 hp and 680 lb-ft. Ram targets a 170-mph top speed, 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and an 11.6-second quarter mile.
The same 777-hp engine powers the TRX SRT, which began shipping to customers on July 1, 2026, from Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan.
