2027 RAM 5500 Tradesman Regular Cab Chassis 4x4: Cummins Strength Built for Your Biggest Contracts

Some trucks are chosen for their image, and some are chosen because the work simply cannot wait. The 2027 RAM 5500 Tradesman Regular Cab Chassis 4x4 belongs firmly in the second group. With its 6.7-litre Cummins turbo diesel, ZF PowerLine 8-speed automatic transmission, 204.5-inch wheelbase and 120-inch cab-to-axle space, it is engineered to accept the upfit your business needs, whether that is a dump body, a flat deck, a service body or a towing unit. Add a payload of 10,870 pounds and a towing capacity of 34,220 pounds, and you get a work platform that stands out in its class, available now at Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler.


A 6.7-Litre Cummins That Turns Heavy Work Into Routine

Under the hood, the legendary 6.7-litre Cummins inline six-cylinder turbo diesel delivers 360 horsepower and, more importantly, a massive 800 pound-feet of torque available from low engine speeds. In real terms, that means confident starts with a fully loaded trailer, hills that pass by without strain, and an engine that always works within its comfort zone instead of running out of breath.

The ZF PowerLine 8-speed automatic transmission is a key part of this truck's character. Its closely spaced gears keep the Cummins in its ideal torque range, which translates into smoother acceleration, precise shifts under load and surprisingly relaxed road behaviour for a truck of this size. The Cummins exhaust brake adds valuable control on long descents, something drivers quickly learn to appreciate on hilly regional roads.

The 4x4 system with electronic shift-on-demand transfer case, included with the Max Tow Package, completes the picture. Muddy job site, snowed-in yard, boat launch or sloped terrain, you engage four-wheel drive with a simple control and the truck follows through.


34,220 Pounds of Towing and 10,870 Pounds of Payload: Numbers That Change the Game

Let's talk about the real numbers, the ones for this specific unit. This RAM 5500 offers a towing capacity of 34,220 pounds and a chassis payload of 10,870 pounds before upfit. Its gross vehicle weight rating reaches 19,500 pounds. These are three distinct figures, and that is exactly what makes this truck so versatile: it can tow very heavy, carry very heavy, or combine both intelligently depending on your upfit.

Who benefits? The excavation contractor moving equipment on a float trailer, the towing company that needs a dependable platform, the farm hauling machinery and feed, the landscaper or snow removal operator who wants one truck that works all year long. The Max Tow Package, with its integrated trailer brake controller, makes every hookup simpler and safer.

The 120-inch cab-to-axle space accepts a wide range of commercial bodies, giving your upfitter full flexibility to build exactly the truck your business requires.


A Confident Look, Far From the Anonymous Work Truck

Who said a job site truck has to be dull? Finished in Diamond Black Crystal Pearl with a monochromatic treatment, this 5500 has undeniable presence. The Chrome Appearance Group cuts sharply against the deep black paint with its chrome grille and front bumper, a contrast that gets noticed at the client's site as much as on the road.

The 19.5-inch forged and polished aluminum wheels replace the usual steel wheels of the category and clearly elevate the overall look, while also being easier to keep clean. The bright tubular side steps make climbing into the cab easier and add a polished touch. Even the full-size spare tyre, fitted from the factory, shows a truck that was specified with care.


A Cab Built for Long Days

The regular cab seats three occupants on a 40-20-40 split bench in durable black cloth, easy to maintain and exactly what you want when you climb in wearing work boots. The fold-down centre section becomes a practical work surface for paperwork, a tablet or lunch.

The Tradesman Level 1 Equipment Group adds conveniences that make a real difference day after day: power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, an overhead console for storage, upgraded door panels, a rear-window defroster and exterior mirrors designed for towing. They are small things, until you spend ten hours a day in the truck. Then they matter.


Useful Technology, Without Complication

At the centre of the dash, the 8.4-inch touchscreen with the Uconnect system brings together the ParkView rear camera, vehicle settings and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Your calls, routes and music stay within reach without taking your eyes off the road.

The integrated trailer brake controller lets you fine-tune trailer braking directly from the driver's seat. And for operations that involve extended idling or short trips, the manual particulate filter regeneration control lets you start regeneration when it suits your schedule, a detail fleet managers notice immediately.


Safety First, for You and Your Load

A truck that can tow 34,220 pounds has to inspire confidence, and this one does. Electronic stability control watches over traction and trajectory, the ParkView rear camera makes hitching and reversing easier with an upfit that limits visibility, and the audible reverse alarm protects the people working around the vehicle, an essential on any job site.

The towing mirrors provide a clear view down the side of a wide trailer, and the exhaust brake reduces wear on the service brakes during loaded descents. It is a coherent package, designed for real work.
