RAM 1500 Big Horn Night Crew 6pi 4po | Hurricane *ARRIVAGE NOVEMVRE*2027 RAM 1500 Big Horn Night Edition in Molten Red, Crew Cab 4x4 with 6-Foot-4 Box: A Hard-Working Pickup That Never Blends In
Some trucks get noticed from across the lot, and this is one of them. This 2027 RAM 1500 Big Horn wears a deep Molten Red finish set off by the black accents of the Night Edition. Under the hood, the 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane inline six makes 420 horsepower. A 3.92 rear axle and an integrated trailer brake controller have it ready to tow from day one. The Crew Cab seats the whole family, and the 6-foot-4 box means you never have to choose between passengers and cargo. It's a truck built for the work week and the weekend alike.
Performance and Driving
The Standard Output Hurricane is a 3.0L inline six with twin turbochargers. It makes 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, more than a traditional V8, and it pulls hard from low rpm. In real life, that means passing on the highway without planning it out and merging with a trailer behind you without the engine straining.
It's paired with an 8-speed automatic that's smooth in town and well spaced on the highway. Stop-start shuts the engine off at red lights to save fuel, then restarts it the moment you lift off the brake. According to Natural Resources Canada's official reference rating for this 4x4 powertrain, it runs on regular fuel and is rated at 13.2 L/100 km city, 9.9 L/100 km highway and 11.7 L/100 km combined.
The electronic on-demand transfer case lets you shift into four-wheel drive with a single control when conditions turn. The Night Edition adds a limited-slip rear axle, which sends torque to the wheel with the most grip. On an icy driveway or a soaked gravel road, you feel the difference right away.
The 153.5-inch wheelbase stretches the truck out, and you notice it behind the wheel: it's stable at speed, calm over highway expansion joints and reassuring when a trailer is pushing from behind.
Towing and Payload
This is where the 3.92 axle earns its place. For this Crew Cab 4x4 configuration with the 6-foot-4 box and the Standard Output Hurricane, towing capacity reaches 11,220 lb (5,089 kg), compared with 8,120 lb on the standard 3.55 axle. That's 3,100 lb more, just from choosing the right axle ratio.
- Towing capacity: up to 11,220 lb (5,089 kg)
- Payload: up to 1,750 lb (794 kg)
- Gross vehicle weight rating: 7,100 lb (3,220 kg)
- Gross combined weight rating: 17,000 lb (7,711 kg)
Payload and towing capacity don't add together: the more you load into the cab and box, the less you can tow. The exact figures for your truck are on the driver's door jamb label.
In practice, that's enough for a family travel trailer, a fishing boat, an enclosed job-site trailer or an ATV trailer. The integrated trailer brake controller lets you set trailer braking force right from the dash, with no aftermarket unit to install. In Quebec, a truck and trailer combination of 3,000 kg or more must stop at brake inspection sites, under the applicable regulations.
Design and Styling
Molten Red is a rich, deep shade that changes character with the light. The Night Edition creates a strong contrast: black mesh grille with a black surround, black RAM badge, black exterior badging, black headlamp and tail lamp bezels, black mirror caps and dual black exhaust tips. The front and rear bumpers are painted body colour, as are the fender flares from the Level 1 package. The result looks cleaner and more modern than a chrome-trimmed Big Horn.
The 20-inch aluminum wheels on 275/55R20 all-season tires fill the wheel openings nicely. Black Mopar tubular side steps round out the profile and earn their keep every day. LED headlamps, daytime running lamps and fog lamps throw plenty of light down dark back roads on November evenings.
Comfort and Cabin Life
The Crew Cab is one of the roomiest in its class. Teenagers or co-workers ride comfortably in the back, and the 60/40 rear seat flips up to make room for boots, toolboxes or groceries. Storage bins under the second-row floor keep valuables out of sight.
Up front, black cloth bucket seats are split by a full-length console that swallows laptops, gloves and coffee. The driver's seat has 8-way power adjustment with power lumbar support. Heated front seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel prove their worth on the first cold morning. Power-adjustable pedals help drivers of every size find the right position.
The Night Edition's black interior trim gives the cabin a clean, understated look that's easy to keep tidy. A power sliding rear window, rear window defroster and auto-dimming rear-view mirror complete the picture.
Technology and Connectivity
The Uconnect 5 system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen responds quickly and brings audio, phone and vehicle settings together in one place. SiriusXM satellite radio keeps you company on long drives, well past where local stations fade out. Steering wheel audio controls keep your hands where they belong.
The Level 1 package adds a 400-watt power inverter and a 115-volt auxiliary outlet in the cab, ideal for charging a laptop or a tool battery between jobs. The active grille shutters close at highway speeds to improve aerodynamics. Remote start warms the cab before you head out, and the universal garage door opener makes coming home easier.
Safety and Driver Assistance
This Big Horn comes standard with a full set of driver assistance features:
- Forward Collision Warning Plus with active braking
- Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
- Blind spot monitoring with rear cross path detection
- ParkSense front and rear park assist
- Heated power-folding mirrors with courtesy lamps
In heavy traffic, adaptive cruise keeps a set distance from the vehicle ahead. Blind spot monitoring adds confidence on lane changes, especially in a truck this long. These systems don't replace the driver, but they reduce fatigue and give you a second set of eyes on the road.
Box and Practical Equipment
This unit is set up to be used, not just admired. The Bed Utility Group includes a Mopar spray-in bedliner that protects the paint and keeps cargo from sliding. It also adds four adjustable Mopar tie-down cleats, an exterior 115-volt outlet and box lighting. You can run a saw or a compressor at the cottage, and load up after dark without hunting for a flashlight.
Rear wheel well liners protect the body from stones, calcium and the slush that builds up all winter. At 6 feet 4 inches, the box handles a stack of building materials, a snowmobile on the right ramp setup or a full weekend of camping gear, all with the tailgate closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What difference does the 6-foot-4 box make compared with the 5-foot-7 box?
The 6-foot-4 box gives you about nine more inches of floor length. Long materials, an ATV or a big family's luggage fit more easily with the tailgate closed. The longer wheelbase also adds stability on the highway and when towing. The trade-off is a slightly wider turning circle in tight parking lots.
How much can this RAM 1500 tow and carry?
In this configuration, it can tow up to 11,220 lb (5,089 kg) and carry a maximum payload of 1,750 lb (794 kg). Its gross combined weight rating is 17,000 lb (7,711 kg). These figures don't add together: passengers and cargo reduce towing capacity accordingly. The door jamb label shows the exact numbers for your truck.
Does the Hurricane engine need premium fuel, and what does it use?
No, the 420-horsepower Standard Output Hurricane runs on regular fuel. The official reference rating is 13.2 L/100 km city, 9.9 L/100 km highway and 11.7 L/100 km combined. Real-world consumption goes up with a trailer, a headwind or in extreme cold. Stop-start helps keep it down in town.
What does the integrated trailer brake controller do?
It applies your trailer's electric brakes together with the truck's own brakes. You adjust braking force to the weight you're towing, right from the dashboard. Stops are more stable and shorter, and you avoid bolting an aftermarket controller under the dash.
How does this truck handle Quebec winters?
The electronic transfer case lets you engage four-wheel drive when the road turns white. The Night Edition's limited-slip rear axle improves traction when one wheel spins on ice. Heated seats, a heated steering wheel and remote start make January mornings much easier. Plan on winter tires, which are mandatory in Quebec from December 1 to March 15.
What's included in the Big Horn Level 1 Equipment Group?
It adds heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power driver's seat with power lumbar and the full-length console. You also get the power sliding rear window, power-adjustable pedals, a 400-watt inverter with a 115-volt outlet and SiriusXM. Body-colour fender flares and active grille shutters are part of it too. It's the package that takes the Big Horn from well equipped to truly comfortable.
Are the tubular side steps and wheel well liners actually useful?
Yes, especially for families or older passengers: the steps make it easier to climb into a tall cab. They also help shield the lower doors from stone chips. The rear wheel well liners keep salt, calcium and gravel off the sheet metal, which helps protect the truck and its resale value.
Why buy this RAM from Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler in Ste-Marie or St-Malachie?
Because you get precise advice on the configuration, not just a price. Our team checks with you that the axle ratio, capacity and equipment match how you'll actually use the truck. After that, you can count on local service with technicians trained on RAM trucks, at two easy-to-reach locations in the Beauce and Bellechasse regions.
