What it is

The 2027 Ram 1500 2WD is a pickup in the Standard Pickup Trucks 2WD class. It uses gasoline, rear-wheel drive, a 3.0 L 6-cylinder turbo engine, and an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The numbers

Its combined EPA rating is 20 MPG. City driving is rated at 17 MPG, while highway driving is rated at 24 MPG.

That split gives highway trips a higher fuel-economy figure than stop-and-go city use. Tailpipe CO2 is 453 grams per mile.

What it costs to run

EPA lists an annual fuel cost of $3,350. That estimate is the EPA's projected annual gasoline cost for this truck.

How it compares

Use the EPA figures for this truck alongside other entries in Ram cars and fuel-efficient pickup trucks. The useful checkpoints are combined MPG, city MPG, highway MPG, and annual fuel cost.

Who it suits

This pickup suits a driver who needs a gasoline truck with rear-wheel drive and spends enough time on highways to benefit from its 24 MPG highway rating.

It also fits buyers who want to judge running costs through an EPA annual fuel estimate rather than an electric range figure.

Trade-offs

The 20 MPG combined rating sits between the 17 MPG city and 24 MPG highway figures, so frequent urban driving will use more fuel than steady highway travel.

Gasoline power, rear-wheel drive, and 453 grams of CO2 per mile define the running trade-offs shown by its EPA figures.

Verdict

Choose the 2027 Ram 1500 2WD when a rear-drive gasoline pickup matches your work or travel needs and a 20 MPG combined rating is acceptable.

Its $3,350 EPA annual fuel estimate gives the clearest budget marker. Highway commuters may find the 24 MPG figure more relevant, while mostly city drivers should plan around 17 MPG.
