2027 Ram 1500 Trims Compared: Which One Fits You

How many 2027 Ram 1500 trims are there?

Edmunds lists eleven trims for 2027: Tradesman, Express, Big Horn, Warlock, Laramie, Rumble Bee, Rebel, RHO, Limited, Tungsten and TRX SRT. Ram’s own materials also name a Limited Longhorn, so you are choosing from roughly a dozen versions.

This page sorts them into groups: work trims, the mid-level Big Horn, the luxury trims, and the off-road and performance branches. The grouping is ours, made to help you shop. Use the table to find your starting point.

Which Ram 1500 trim levels suit work buyers?

The Tradesman and Express are the work-focused trims. Tradesman is the entry point for fleets and job sites, while Express keeps that working foundation and adds a more finished look that suits daily driving as well as work.

Tradesman

Choose the Tradesman if the truck is a tool first. It anchors the lineup and leaves room to add only what your work calls for. Ask the store which equipment groups are offered on the specific trucks you are considering.

Express

Over the Tradesman, the Express adds body-color bumpers and grille, 20-inch alloy wheels, LED fog lights and a power-sliding rear window. Those changes are mostly about looks and convenience, so the Express suits buyers who want a cleaner truck for weekends at Lake Travis without leaving the work tier.

What does the Big Horn, or Lone Star in Texas, add?

The Big Horn is the mid-level trim most shoppers compare first, and in Texas it carries the Lone Star name. For 2027, a Big Horn Crew Cab with the Level 2 Equipment Group adds passive entry, so you can unlock without reaching for the fob.

The Lone Star name has history here. When this truck generation launched for the 2019 model year, the Lone Star was a Texas-only version of the Big Horn with its own badging, offered as a package on that trim. For 2027, Edmunds still lists the Big Horn as the Lone Star in Texas, so that is the name you are likely to see while shopping locally.

Ram 1500 Big Horn vs Laramie: what changes?

The Laramie is where the lineup turns toward luxury. It is the step most buyers weigh after the Big Horn when they want more comfort, and for 2027 Ram confirms the Laramie adds standard rain-sensing wipers.

Rain-sensing wipers switch on and adjust their speed when water hits the windshield, which helps in a sudden Hill Country downpour. If passive entry and a mid-level cabin cover your needs, a well-equipped Big Horn may be enough. If you want to move into the luxury group, the Laramie is the next rung. Compare the window stickers of the exact trucks you like.

Where do the Ram 1500 Warlock, Rebel and RHO fit?

These are the off-road branches of the lineup rather than steps on the comfort ladder. Edmunds lists the Warlock after the Big Horn, the Rebel after the Rumble Bee and the RHO after the Rebel, placing them alongside the mainstream trims.

The Warlock sits near the Big Horn, so it suits shoppers who want a mid-level truck with a tougher attitude. The Rebel sits higher, for buyers planning regular trail time. Confirmed 2027 equipment details for these two are limited, so check the build sheet on any truck you consider.

The RHO is the high-speed desert runner. It shares 11.8 inches of ground clearance with the TRX and gets a new rhino-head tailgate badge for 2027. See our guide to the RHO, TRX and Rumble Bee for the full story.

What do the Limited and Limited Longhorn add?

The Limited and Limited Longhorn sit near the top of the luxury group. For 2027, both now include the 360° Surround View Camera, joining the Tungsten, and both offer a RamBox delete option for buyers who need maximum bed width.

A 360° Surround View Camera blends views from cameras around the truck into one overhead image, which helps in tight parking lots along Highway 71 and at narrow ranch gates. RamBox is storage built into the bed sides; deleting it frees the full width between the bed walls for wide loads. The Longhorn name also carries a Texas flavor local shoppers tend to notice.

What does the Ram 1500 Tungsten add at the top?

The Tungsten is the flagship. Ram’s 2027 features page shows a standard 360° Surround View Camera, and the Tungsten offers a 14.5-inch touchscreen, a front-passenger touchscreen display and an interactive digital cluster.

For the 2026 model year, the Tungsten came standard with the high-output 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six, a six-cylinder engine with two turbochargers, making 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. It also had 4WD with low range, a 10.25-inch passenger screen and 23-speaker Klipsch audio. Ask the store to confirm those details carry over to 2027.

Where do the performance trims sit?

The Rumble Bee, RHO and TRX SRT form the performance branch. They sit outside the comfort ladder, built for speed and power rather than luxury, and each gets detailed coverage on our dedicated performance page.

• Rumble Bee: an all-new Quad Cab muscle truck with a 5-foot 7-inch bed and widebody styling, in four versions powered by three HEMI V8s.
• RHO: the off-road performance truck, with 11.8 inches of ground clearance and a new rhino-head tailgate badge.
• TRX SRT: back for 2027 with 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque.

Compare all three in our breakdown of the Rumble Bee, RHO and TRX muscle trucks.

Which upgrades do buyers commonly pick?

Several features come through a package on one trim and arrive as standard further up, so compare a well-equipped lower trim against the next trim up. The confirmed 2027 examples below show where those lines fall.

• Passive entry: added on a Big Horn Crew Cab through the Level 2 Equipment Group.
• 360° Surround View Camera: standard on Tungsten and now also on Limited and Limited Longhorn.
• RamBox delete: an option on the Limited and Limited Longhorn for maximum bed width.
• Onboard power: trucks with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 eTorque, a mild-hybrid assist system, can add 2kW through two 120V outlets in the bed, handy for tools or a tailgate at the lake.
