RAM 1500 Big Horn Night Off-Road Crew 5pi 7po | Hurricane *ARRIVAGE OCTOBRE*2027 RAM 1500 Big Horn Night Edition Crew Cab 4x4: Bright White, Black Accents and a Real Off-Road Package
The RAM 1500 Big Horn has always been the sensible pick of the lineup: well equipped for the family, tough enough for work. This 2027 unit in Bright White takes it further. The Night Edition adds a black contrast that turns heads, the Off-Road Package brings a locking rear differential, skid plates and upgraded suspension, and the 420-horsepower twin-turbo Hurricane engine handles the rest. It's a truck that heads to the job site on Monday, the cottage on Friday and the gravel back road on Saturday without ever feeling out of its depth.
Performance and Driving
Under the hood, the standard-output 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane inline six produces 420 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque. Drivers coming from a V8 are usually surprised by the low-end response: the twin turbos deliver torque early, making highway merges and passing noticeably more relaxed, even with a trailer behind you.
The 8-speed automatic shifts smoothly and keeps the engine in its sweet spot. Automatic stop-start shuts the engine off at red lights to save fuel in town. The 4x4 system provides the grip you need when snow piles up in the driveway or a logging road turns to mud.
This unit also has an optional 3.92 rear axle ratio, shorter than the standard gearing. Day to day, that means quicker launches, and when you hitch up, a significantly higher towing capacity. Active Noise Cancellation and dual bright exhaust tips round things out: a quiet cabin on the highway, a confident sound when you accelerate.
Fuel consumption per this vehicle's EnerGuide rating: 13.9 L/100 km city, 10.2 L/100 km highway and 12.2 L/100 km combined, on regular fuel.
Towing and Payload
With the Hurricane and 3.92 axle, this Crew Cab 4x4 with the 5-foot-7 box can tow up to 11,370 lb (5,157 kg) when properly equipped. A fishing boat, a family-size travel trailer, a trailer full of ATVs or snowmobiles: most owners' needs are covered with room to spare.
Payload reaches up to 1,910 lb (866 kg) for this configuration. The unit's exact figure is printed on the label on the door pillar. Keep in mind that payload and towing capacity don't add up: passengers, cargo and tongue weight all count toward the total. Gross combined weight rating, truck and loaded trailer together, is 17,000 lb (7,711 kg), with a GVWR of 7,100 lb (3,220 kg).
Several features make towing more reassuring:
- integrated trailer brake controller, so you can adjust trailer braking right from the cab
- trailer sway control, which helps stabilize the combination in crosswinds
- 230-amp alternator and auxiliary battery, useful for powering the trailer and accessories
- front tow hooks, handy for recovery
In Quebec, a vehicle and trailer combination of 3,000 kg or more must stop at brake inspection areas, depending on applicable regulations and use.
Design and Night Edition
Bright White is the perfect canvas for the Night Edition. The black grille and badges stand out against the white body and give the truck a tougher, more modern look than an ordinary Big Horn. The 20 x 9-inch aluminum wheels fill the wheel wells nicely, and the body-colour fender flares keep the profile clean.
Black Mopar tubular side steps make it easier for the whole family to climb aboard while continuing the dark theme. Rear wheel well liners protect the body from gravel, sand and winter road salt. The Off-Road Package's raised ride height and off-road decals confirm the truck's character. LED headlamps and fog lamps light up poorly lit country roads.
Off-Road Package: What It Really Changes
This package turns the Big Horn into a truck ready for off-road outings. It adds:
- electronic locking rear differential, which locks both rear wheels together in mud, sand or deep snow
- Selec-Speed Control, which automatically manages throttle and brakes at low speed on rough terrain so you can focus on steering
- heavy-duty front shocks and reinforced rear shocks, to better soak up ruts and broken roads
- skid plates under the fuel tank, transfer case and steering gear
- full-size spare tire, a real plus far from town
This isn't window dressing. It's equipment you'll appreciate the first time you get stuck on a sugar shack road in the spring.
Comfort and Cabin
The Crew Cab gives five adults real room. The black cloth front bucket seats are heated, and the driver's seat has 8-way power adjustment with power lumbar support. The heated steering wheel and rear window defroster make January mornings much more bearable.
Power-adjustable pedals help drivers of any height find the right position. Under the second-row floor, storage bins keep tools, booster cables or fishing gear out of sight. The full-length console adds storage between the front seats.
On the practical side, the 400-watt inverter and 115-volt auxiliary outlet in the cabin let you charge a laptop or a cordless tool on the go.
Technology and Connectivity
The 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen brings radio, phone and truck settings together in one place. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility lets you run your favourite navigation and music apps. SiriusXM satellite radio is included, which is handy where FM stations fade out.
The auto-dimming rear-view mirror cuts glare from headlights behind you, and the built-in universal garage door opener means no more fumbling for a remote on the sun visor.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The Canadian Big Horn comes standard with a reassuring set of driver aids:
- Forward Collision Warning-Plus with active braking
- Blind Spot Detection, which accounts for a hitched trailer
- Active Lane Management System
- ParkSense front and rear park assist
- Hill Start Assist and Electronic Stability Control
- advanced multistage front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags
Four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes, advanced brake assist and LATCH child seat anchors complete the list.
Bed Features
The 5-foot-7 box is ready to work from day one thanks to the Bed Utility Group:
- Mopar spray-in bedliner that resists scratches and keeps cargo from sliding
- four adjustable Mopar tie-down cleats
- bed lighting, for loading and unloading after dark
- deployable bed step, so you can reach cargo without climbing on the bumper
- exterior 115-volt outlet, for a power tool or compressor

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this Big Horn differ from a Rebel?
The Rebel is designed off-road first, with all-terrain tires and specific suspension tuning. Thanks to the Off-Road Package, this Big Horn picks up several key pieces, including the locking differential, skid plates and upgraded shocks, while keeping 20-inch wheels and a more road-friendly ride. It's a smart middle ground for drivers who spend most of their time on pavement but want to venture off it.
Is the Hurricane six-cylinder as good as a V8 for towing?
The Hurricane delivers 469 lb-ft of torque very early in the rev range thanks to its twin turbos, which suits towing particularly well. With this unit's 3.92 axle, it tows up to 11,370 lb. It runs on regular fuel, which helps keep operating costs reasonable.
What do the 230-amp alternator and auxiliary battery do?
They supply more electrical power for accessories: a light bar, winch, charger, trailer lights or devices plugged into the inverter. The auxiliary battery supports the electrical system, especially with stop-start. It's a real asset for tradespeople and outdoor enthusiasts who add equipment.
How much fuel should I expect to use?
This vehicle's EnerGuide rating is 13.9 L/100 km city, 10.2 L/100 km highway and 12.2 L/100 km combined. Real-world consumption varies with driving style, winter conditions and load. Expect a significant increase when towing, as with any truck.
How does this truck handle Quebec winters?
The 4x4 system, locking rear differential and electronic stability control provide solid traction in snow. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel make cold mornings more pleasant. Like any pickup, the rear is light when empty, so quality winter tires make a real difference.
Is the 5-foot-7 box big enough?
For most uses, yes: ATVs, firewood, renovation materials or travel luggage. Above all, it keeps a roomy Crew Cab in a truck that's still a reasonable size to park in town. If you regularly haul plywood sheets flat, a longer box may suit you better.
Who is this trim for?
Active families and self-employed workers who want a versatile truck: comfortable for five, able to pull a travel trailer and tough enough for the cottage or hunting season. It's also a logical choice for anyone who wants a distinctive look without stepping up to a premium trim's price.
