RAM 1500 Big Horn Night Off-Road Crew 5pi 7po | Hurricane *ARRIVAGE NOVEMBRE*2027 RAM 1500 Big Horn Night Edition Crew Cab 4x4 with the Off-Road Package: 420 Hurricane Horsepower, a Locking Rear Axle and a Raised Suspension
This 2027 RAM 1500 Big Horn brings together three things you rarely find on the same truck: the dark styling of the Night Edition, the serious hardware of an off-road package and the 420-horsepower twin-turbo Hurricane six. Finished in Silver Zynith, it rides on 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, a raised suspension, skid plates and an electronic locking rear differential. The Crew Cab and 5-foot-7 box make it easy to park in town, ready for the cottage on Friday and back on the job Monday morning. With a 3.92 rear axle and a factory trailer brake controller, it can tow up to 11,370 lb.
Performance and Driving
Under the hood, the 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane inline six makes 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. The two turbos deliver a strong, immediate response, whether you are merging onto Highway 73, passing on Route 173 or pulling a trailer up a long grade. It runs on regular fuel, which matters when you fill up every week.
The 8-speed automatic shifts smoothly and keeps the engine in its most efficient range, while stop-start shuts the engine off at red lights to save fuel in town. The electronic on-demand 4x4 transfer case engages at the touch of a control and includes a low range for slow, demanding terrain.
For reference, Natural Resources Canada rates the RAM 1500 4x4 with the 3.0L Hurricane at 13.2 L/100 km city, 9.9 highway and 11.7 combined (2026 rating). To be clear, with all-terrain tires and a raised suspension, real-world fuel use will run a little higher than that rating.
What the Off-Road Package Adds
This is what truly separates this unit from an ordinary Big Horn. The off-road package turns a versatile pickup into a truck that is ready for logging roads, muddy fields and dirt concession roads after a heavy rain.
- Raised suspension for more clearance under the truck
- Heavy-duty front and rear shocks, better suited to rough trails
- Electronic locking rear differential that turns both rear wheels at the same speed when one loses grip
- 275/55R20 all-terrain tires with a more aggressive tread
- Full-size spare tire, a real asset far from town
- Underbody skid plates and front tow hooks
- Off-road speed control that holds a slow, steady pace on difficult terrain
- Off-road information pages on the display
In practical terms: less chance of getting stuck in the cottage driveway during spring thaw, less worry about what is under the truck, and a real solution if a tire gives out far from the nearest village.
Towing and Payload
With the 3.92 rear axle, this Big Horn is rated to tow 11,370 lb (5,157 kg), compared with 8,270 lb for the same configuration with the 3.55 axle. Payload reaches 1,910 lb (866 kg), the gross vehicle weight rating is 7,100 lb (3,220 kg) and the gross combined weight rating is 17,000 lb (7,711 kg).
These figures apply to the Crew Cab 4x4 with the 5-foot-7 box, Hurricane engine and 3.92 axle. Payload and towing do not add together: the more weight in the truck, the less it can tow. Added equipment also reduces actual payload, which is listed on the door jamb label.
The integrated trailer brake controller lets you adjust trailer braking right from the dash, with no aftermarket module. That is exactly what you need for a good-sized travel trailer, a boat, an enclosed trailer or a pair of snowmobiles. In Quebec, a vehicle and trailer combination of 3,000 kg or more must stop at brake inspection areas, according to applicable regulations.
Design and Style
The Night Edition trades chrome for black: black mesh grille with black surround, black RAM emblem, black exterior badging, black headlamp and taillamp bezels, black mirror caps and dual black exhaust tips. Front and rear bumpers are body colour.
On Silver Zynith, that contrast works especially well. The metallic grey makes every black detail stand out, and it hides gravel dust and winter road salt far better than a dark paint. The 20-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, raised suspension and off-road decals give the truck a taller, more confident stance without going overboard. Body-colour fender flares and LED lighting round out the look.
Comfort and Cabin
The Crew Cab seats five adults. The black cloth front bucket seats are heated, as is the leather-wrapped steering wheel, which makes a real difference on January mornings. The driver's seat offers 8-way power adjustment with power lumbar support, and power-adjustable pedals help every driver find the right position.
The full-length centre console swallows your phone, wallet and gloves. In the back, the 60/40 split bench folds up to free space, a centre armrest adds comfort on long drives and in-floor storage bins keep items out of sight. A power sliding rear window with defroster completes the package.
Technology and Connectivity
The Uconnect 5 touchscreen with an 8.4-inch display brings together audio, settings and the off-road information pages. SiriusXM satellite radio and steering wheel audio controls make the drive more enjoyable, and the universal garage door opener means no more hunting for the remote.
For work and camping, the 400-watt power inverter and auxiliary 115-volt outlet let you charge a laptop or a tool. Remote start warms up the cabin before you head out.
Safety and Driver Assistance
This Big Horn is equipped with Forward Collision Warning Plus with active braking, which can step in if the driver does not react in time. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection helps with lane changes and backing out of a busy parking lot.
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go keeps a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, even in heavy traffic. Front and rear park assist sensors and an auto-dimming rearview mirror make parking and night driving more relaxed.
A Box Built to Work
The Bed Utility Group adds a spray-in bedliner, four adjustable tie-down cleats, bed lighting and an outside 115-volt outlet. You can load an ATV, building materials or firewood without damaging the paint, and plug a tool in right at the box.
Rear wheelhouse liners protect the body from the rocks and salt thrown up by the all-terrain tires.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the off-road package change on a Big Horn?
It adds a raised suspension, heavy-duty shocks, an electronic locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, skid plates, tow hooks, a full-size spare and off-road speed control. The truck gains clearance and protection without giving up the comfort of the Big Horn.
When should you use the rear differential lock?
Only at low speed, when a rear wheel is spinning: in mud, a snowy driveway or when climbing out of a rut. The lock forces both rear wheels to turn together. On pavement, leave it off to keep steering natural.
How much can this truck tow?
Up to 11,370 lb (5,157 kg) with the 3.92 axle, with a payload of 1,910 lb (866 kg) and a gross combined weight rating of 17,000 lb. These capacities do not add together, and this unit's exact payload is shown on the door jamb label.
Do all-terrain tires replace winter tires?
No. They offer good traction on dirt, gravel and loose snow, but in Quebec winter tires are mandatory from December 1 to March 15. Many owners mount a set of winter tires on separate wheels and keep the all-terrains for the other three seasons.
What fuel economy should I expect?
The reference rating is 11.7 L/100 km combined for the RAM 1500 4x4 with the Hurricane. With all-terrain tires and a raised suspension, expect a little more in real-world driving, especially on the highway and when towing.
Is the 5-foot-7 box big enough?
For most uses, yes: an ATV, building materials, camping gear or firewood. It keeps the roomy Crew Cab while maintaining an overall length that is easy to park. If you often haul plywood sheets flat, the 6-foot-4 box is the better choice.
Who is this Big Horn for?
Anyone who wants a truck that is capable in the bush, solid with a trailer and comfortable enough for the family, without paying for a top-of-the-line trim. It is a logical choice for hunters, cottage owners and anyone whose work often takes them off paved roads.
Why buy it from Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler in Sainte-Marie or Saint-Malachie?
Because you get a team that knows RAM trucks inside out, two locations close to home and service that stays with you long after the sale. We walk you through every feature before you leave, from the locking rear axle to the trailer brake controller.
