RAM 2500 Big Horn Night Crew 6pi 4po | Cummins *EN STOCK*2027 RAM 2500 Big Horn Night Crew Cab 4x4 : Cummins Muscle Dressed in Black
Some trucks are built to work. Others are built to be noticed. The 2027 RAM 2500 Big Horn Night refuses to pick a side. Beneath its Sport Performance hood sits the 6.7L High Output Cummins inline six, a 430 horsepower engine producing 1,075 lb-ft of torque that moves serious loads without ever sounding strained. Everything around it has been darkened: badging, mirrors, headlamp and taillamp bezels, black aluminum wheels, all set against a monotone Forged Blue Metallic finish that gives this three-quarter-ton a genuinely commanding presence. It is a work truck that is not embarrassed to look good, and a daily driver that never forgot why it was built.
Performance and Driving
The High Output Cummins is the only diesel offered in the RAM 2500, and that is no loss. Its 430 horsepower and, more importantly, its 1,075 lb-ft of torque arriving low in the rev range completely change how a heavy truck feels to drive. A long grade with a loaded trailer behind you? The engine pulls through it without drama and without demanding a heavy right foot. A pass on the highway? The response is immediate, with no hesitation while the truck decides what to do.
The eight-speed TorqueFlite HD automatic manages all that torque exceptionally well. Shifts are smooth, the closely spaced ratios keep the engine where it makes its best work, and tow/haul mode reshapes the shift strategy the moment you hook something up. The Cummins exhaust brake quickly becomes second nature: on a loaded descent it holds the truck back for you and spares your service brakes. On a long downhill run, the difference is obvious.
Four-wheel drive with a low-range transfer case delivers traction when the job site turns to mud, when the boat ramp is slick, or when the yard has not been plowed yet. Then there is the rear suspension, the most underrated feature on the RAM 2500: coil springs on a five-link axle with a Panhard bar rather than leaf springs. In practical terms, the truck rides more smoothly when empty, absorbs pavement joints and potholes far better, and stays more settled through corners under load. That is why so many RAM HD owners talk about ride quality before they talk about capability.
Towing, Payload and GVWR
This Big Horn Night is configured with a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,490 kg, or 9,900 lb. According to the manufacturer's weight and tow chart for this exact configuration, Crew Cab 4x4 with the 6-foot-4-inch box and the High Output Cummins, that translates to:
- maximum trailer weight of approximately 18,700 lb, or 8,482 kg
- gross combined weight rating of approximately 26,920 lb, or 12,210 kg
- payload of up to approximately 2,160 lb, or 980 kg
Three numbers, three different realities that should never be confused. Payload is what you put in the box and the cab, occupants included. Towing capacity is what you pull behind. Gross combined weight rating is the absolute ceiling for the loaded truck plus the loaded trailer. These figures do not add together and cannot be reached at the same time: the more you load the box, the less headroom remains for the trailer. The certification label on the driver's door jamb is always the exact reference for the unit you buy, and our advisors will read it through with you.
The factory-installed fifth-wheel and gooseneck towing prep changes a great deal for anyone pulling heavy. The mounting points are integrated into the frame beneath the box, which places the load exactly where it belongs, just ahead of the rear axle. The result is a more stable trailer, less twisting stress on the truck, and a clean installation the day you add a fifth-wheel hitch or a gooseneck ball. For a contractor, a farm operation, or a fifth-wheel RV owner, this is the option people regret not ordering.
The 4,490 kg GVWR also deserves an explanation, because it carries real value for Quebec businesses. The regulatory heavy vehicle threshold sits at 4,500 kg. At 4,490 kg, this truck lands just under the line, which generally avoids the obligations tied to the heavy vehicle owners and operators registry: safety rating, pre-trip safety inspections, and the mandatory preventive maintenance program. One important nuance, which we mention because it prevents unpleasant surprises: once a truck and trailer combination reaches 3,000 kg, stopping at brake check areas remains required. The 9,900 lb advantage is real, but it should be assessed according to applicable regulations and your specific use.
Design and Night Attitude
The Night Edition does not add power, it adds character. The grille goes black, and so do the badges, the mirrors, and the headlamp and taillamp bezels. Black aluminum wheels finish the picture. Against the monotone Forged Blue Metallic paint, a deep blue that turns metallic in sunlight, the contrast is excellent: restrained enough for an office parking lot, assertive enough to stand out on a job site.
The Sport Performance hood adds the final degree. Its sculpted lines and raised centre section give the truck a lower, wider stance without tipping into caricature. The roof clearance lamps add that unmistakable heavy-truck silhouette many buyers are after, and the LED lighting serves visibility as much as style. This is a truck you recognize from a distance, and one that will still look right in five years.
Comfort and Life Inside
The Crew Cab is among the most generous in the segment, particularly in the rear, where the seats are genuinely usable by adults over a multi-hour drive. The Premium cloth bucket seats, in an all-black cabin, offer solid lateral support and the kind of durability that forgives work days, boots and gloves. The centre console swallows a laptop, files, a lunch bag and the morning coffee without complaint.
The Level 2 Plus Equipment Group takes care of daily life with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals, power-folding heated mirrors, two wireless charging pads, a 400-watt inverter and remote start. In January, the combination of remote start, heated seats and a heated steering wheel stops being a luxury and becomes a habit. The power rear sliding window is as useful for airing out the cab as it is for talking to someone in the box.
Technology and Connectivity
The 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with navigation anchors the dashboard. The interface is among the quickest and most legible in the industry, voice recognition works without forcing you to enunciate like a news anchor, and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly. The 7-inch digital display ahead of the driver gathers the information that matters at a glance, including towing data.
The nine-speaker Alpine audio system with subwoofer makes long drives considerably more pleasant, and the exterior power outlets paired with the inverter let you run tools or charge batteries straight from the truck. The auxiliary switches built into the dash are a detail that speaks to trades people: they cleanly power a plow, a light bar or a compressor, with no improvised wiring under the dashboard.
Safety and Confidence Behind the Wheel
Blind spot monitoring with rear cross path detection watches the adjacent lanes and warns you about traffic approaching from the side as you back out of a parking space, with coverage adapted to the presence of a trailer. Front and rear ParkSense sensors, the rear camera and the reverse alarm complete the picture, which is especially valuable on a site where someone is always walking behind you.
Electronic stability control, trailer sway control, hill start assist and the factory-integrated trailer brake controller form a solid foundation. That last item is worth calling out: because it is calibrated by the manufacturer and integrated into the vehicle's controls, trailer braking is more precise and more predictable than it is with an aftermarket module.

Why Buy at Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler
A truck in this class is not bought like a sedan. It takes an understanding of how you actually use it, what trailer you already pull or plan to buy, how much your equipment weighs, and whether you are buying as a business. That is exactly the conversation our advisors have every day in Ste-Marie and St-Malachie, with customers across Beauce and Bellechasse who genuinely work their trucks.
We take the time to confirm the right numbers with you rather than selling you the theoretical maximum printed in a brochure. Our service department knows the Cummins, our parts team understands what a properly installed hitch requires, and our finance office works just as comfortably with an individual as with an incorporated business. After the sale, you are still talking to the same people.

Frequently Asked Questions
What engine powers this 2027 RAM 2500 Big Horn Night?
The 6.7L High Output Cummins turbo diesel inline six, paired with the eight-speed TorqueFlite HD automatic. It produces 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque. It is the only diesel offered in the RAM 2500, as the standard output version is no longer part of the lineup. Peak torque arrives very low in the rev range, which explains how effortless the truck feels under load.
How much can this truck tow?
According to the manufacturer's weight and tow chart for this configuration, Crew Cab 4x4 with the 6-foot-4-inch box, High Output Cummins and a 9,900 lb GVWR, maximum trailer weight lands around 18,700 lb, or 8,482 kg, with a gross combined weight rating of roughly 26,920 lb. That figure assumes a properly equipped truck and decreases based on what you carry in the box and the cab.
What is the payload capacity?
It reaches approximately 2,160 lb, or 980 kg, in this configuration. Be careful not to confuse payload with towing capacity: payload covers everything that goes aboard, including occupants, tools, cargo in the box and the trailer's tongue weight. That last element is the one most often left out of the math. The vehicle's certification label gives the exact figure for your unit.
What kind of fuel economy should I expect?
There is no official Natural Resources Canada rating for the RAM 2500. Pickups with a GVWR above 3,856 kg and a box of 183 cm or longer are exempt from fuel consumption testing, and we would rather not publish an invented number. In practice, consumption on a diesel this size varies enormously with load, trailer, temperature and road type. Our advisors can give you realistic benchmarks drawn from our customers' experience.
Why is the 9,900 lb GVWR an advantage for a Quebec business?
The heavy vehicle threshold sits at 4,500 kg, and this truck is rated at 4,490 kg. It falls just under the line, which generally avoids registration in the heavy vehicle owners and operators registry, the safety rating, and the associated pre-trip inspection and preventive maintenance obligations. One caveat worth knowing: a truck and trailer combination of 3,000 kg or more is still required to stop at brake check areas. The advantage is real, but it should be weighed against applicable regulations and your actual use.
How does it handle a Quebec winter?
Four-wheel drive with low range provides the traction you need in heavy snow, in an unplowed yard or on an icy ramp. The substantial front axle weight that comes with the Cummins helps the front end bite. Remote start, heated seats and steering wheel, and heated mirrors make February mornings far more tolerable. As with any empty-box truck, quality winter rubber and some ballast in the back make a noticeable difference.
What exactly does the Night Edition change?
It is an appearance package. The grille, badging, mirrors, headlamp and taillamp bezels and aluminum wheels are finished in black, and the truck wears a monotone paint scheme, here Forged Blue Metallic. No mechanical capability is altered: Night is about visual character. Combined with the Sport Performance hood, it gives the Big Horn a markedly more assertive stance than a standard model.
What does the Level 2 Plus group add to daily comfort?
This is the group that turns a capable work truck into one you genuinely enjoy driving every day. It adds the 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with navigation, the 7-inch digital display, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, power-adjustable pedals, two wireless charging pads, the 400-watt inverter, the nine-speaker Alpine audio system, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross path detection. It is also what makes long hauls and ten-hour days considerably less tiring.
Why buy this RAM 2500 at Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler?
Because a heavy truck should be chosen with someone who understands your work. Our advisors confirm your real towing and payload needs, explain the numbers instead of reciting them, and steer you toward the configuration that will actually serve you. Our service department knows the Cummins inside out, our parts and accessories department follows through, and our financing works for individuals and businesses alike. That is the kind of service still delivered in person, across Beauce and Bellechasse.
