RAM 1500 Big Horn Night Crew 6pi 4po Hurricane *ARRIVAGE NOVEMBRE*2027 RAM 1500 Big Horn Night Edition in Forged Blue Metallic, Crew Cab 4x4 with 6-Foot-4 Box: A Big Horn Ready to Tow From Day One
Plenty of pickups can pull a trailer. This one was equipped to do it well. This 2027 RAM 1500 Big Horn pairs the 420-hp twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six with a 3.92 rear axle, an integrated trailer brake controller, Trailer Reverse Steering Control, trailer tire pressure monitoring and power trailer tow mirrors. It all comes wrapped in a comfortable Crew Cab with a 6-foot-4 box and a Forged Blue Metallic finish set off by the Night Edition's black accents.
Performance: 420 Hurricane Horsepower and a 3.92 Axle
Under the hood, the 3.0L twin-turbocharged Hurricane inline-six delivers 420 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque. Passing power is strong whether the box is empty or a travel trailer is following behind. It runs on regular fuel, and its automatic stop/start system shuts the engine off at red lights to save fuel around town.
The 8-speed automatic makes good use of that torque, but the 3.92 rear axle is what changes the equation. With the standard axle, this configuration is rated to tow 8,120 lb (3,683 kg). With the 3.92, that figure climbs to 11,220 lb (5,089 kg).
The 4x4 system uses an electronic on-demand transfer case with a low range for steep climbs and boat launches. The Night Edition's anti-spin rear differential helps the wheel with grip keep pushing when the other one slips, and the 153.5-inch (3,899 mm) wheelbase gives the truck a settled feel on the highway.
Towing and Payload: The Real Numbers
These are the ratings for this exact configuration, a Crew Cab 4x4 with the 6-foot-4 box, the Hurricane engine and the 3.92 axle:
- Maximum towing capacity: 11,220 lb (5,089 kg)
- Maximum payload: 1,750 lb (794 kg)
- Gross combined weight rating (GCWR): 17,000 lb (7,711 kg)
- Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR): 7,100 lb (3,220 kg)
In practical terms, that opens the door to a family travel trailer, a boat and its trailer, or an enclosed trailer full of equipment, depending on their actual weight. Two honest notes: these maximums do not add up, since tongue weight, passengers and cargo all reduce the towing capacity available. And the exact payload of this unit, which may be lower depending on equipment, is printed on the label in the driver's door jamb.
A Tow Package That Works With You
This is what sets this unit apart: instead of chasing accessories after the sale, the key towing technology comes installed at the factory.
- Integrated trailer brake controller: adjust the braking of a trailer with electric brakes right from the truck, with no add-on module.
- Trailer Reverse Steering Control: in reverse, you turn a knob in the direction you want the trailer to go and the truck handles the steering while you manage the speed.
- Trailer tire pressure monitoring: paired with sensors fitted to the trailer's tires, it warns you if one of them starts losing pressure.
- Black power trailer tow mirrors: these telescoping mirrors extend your view down the side of the trailer, a real help when changing lanes.
Design: Forged Blue Metallic With Night Edition Black
Forged Blue Metallic is a deep blue whose metallic finish comes alive in the sun, and the Night Edition frames it in black: a black grille and RAM badge, darkened headlamp and tail lamp bezels, and dual black exhaust tips. Body-colour front and rear bumpers and fender flares give the truck a clean monochrome look, and 20-inch aluminum wheels wear 275/55R20 all-season tires.
On the practical side, Mopar black tubular side steps make it easier for everyone to climb aboard, and rear wheelhouse liners guard against gravel, salt and calcium spray.
Interior: A Crew Cab Built for Long Days
The Crew Cab offers generous rear-seat room, and the Big Horn Level 1 Equipment Group makes it pleasant to live with every day. Up front, heated black cloth bucket seats, including an 8-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support, flank a full-length console. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is heated, and power-adjustable pedals help every driver find the right position.
In the back, the 60/40 rear bench flips up and in-floor storage bins keep straps and work gloves out of sight. You also get a power sliding rear window with defroster, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a universal garage door opener.
A 6-Foot-4 Box and Power On Board
The 6-foot-4 (1.9 m) box swallows bulky gear. The Bed Utility Group adds a Mopar spray-in bedliner that resists scratches and dents, four Mopar adjustable tie-down hooks, bed lighting and a 115V outlet. Inside the cab, a 400-watt inverter with another 115V outlet keeps a laptop or tool batteries charged between job sites.
Technology and Safety
The Uconnect 5 system with an 8.4-inch (21 cm) touchscreen brings together audio, Bluetooth phone connectivity and vehicle settings. SiriusXM satellite radio and steering-wheel audio controls are included, and remote start warms up the cabin before you head out.
For driver assistance, this Big Horn includes:
- Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go
- Forward Collision Warning Plus with active braking
- Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection that accounts for an attached trailer
- Active Lane Management System
- ParkSense front and rear park assist and a rear backup camera
- LED headlamps, daytime running lamps and fog lamps
These systems support the driver but never replace attentive driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can this RAM 1500 Big Horn tow and carry?
For this configuration, maximum towing capacity is 11,220 lb (5,089 kg) and maximum payload is 1,750 lb (794 kg), with a GCWR of 17,000 lb (7,711 kg). These figures do not add up: passengers, cargo and tongue weight all reduce what is left for the trailer. The exact payload of this unit is shown on the label in the driver's door jamb.
How does Trailer Reverse Steering Control work?
With the truck in reverse and the system activated, you turn the knob in the direction you want the trailer to go. The truck handles the steering while you control the speed with the accelerator and brake. It is a big help when backing a boat down a ramp or placing a travel trailer at a campsite, as long as you keep an eye on your surroundings.
What does trailer tire pressure monitoring do?
A trailer tire losing air is almost impossible to feel from the driver's seat. With sensors installed in the trailer's tires, the system monitors their pressure and alerts you if one drops below the set threshold, so you can stop before a slow leak turns into a blowout. Our team can advise you on compatible sensors.
What fuel consumption should I expect, with or without a trailer?
Until the official 2027 rating is published, the 2026 RAM 1500 4x4 with the same Hurricane engine serves as the reference: 13.2 L/100 km city, 9.9 highway and 11.7 combined, on regular fuel. Expect noticeably higher consumption with a trailer, especially behind a tall travel trailer that catches a lot of wind.
How does this RAM handle winter in the Beauce?
On-demand 4x4 and the anti-spin rear differential help maintain traction on snowy back roads and icy hills, while the heated seats and steering wheel, rear window defroster and remote start make cold mornings easier. Keep in mind that winter tires are mandatory in Quebec from December 1 to March 15, so the original all-season tires will need to be swapped for that period.
Is this Big Horn a good fit for a family heading to the cottage or the campground?
That is exactly where it shines. The Crew Cab seats five, the 60/40 rear bench and in-floor bins handle the bags, and the 6-foot-4 box takes the bulky gear. On the highway, adaptive cruise control reduces fatigue, and back home, Trailer Reverse Steering Control makes parking the trailer much simpler.
Who is this particular version for?
Anyone who tows regularly and wants a truck that is ready on day one: travel trailer owners, anglers with a boat, or contractors who haul an equipment trailer during the week and the family on weekends. Buyers who like a blacked-out look will appreciate the Night Edition details too.
Why buy this RAM from Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler in Ste-Marie or St-Malachie?
Because we do more than sell you a truck: we help you choose the right one for your trailer and the way you use it. Our team knows the RAM lineup well, takes the time to answer your towing questions and looks after service afterward, at two locations close to home.
