2014 RAM 2500 Laramie

The 2500 is Ram's heavy-duty pickup, the one you step up to when you need serious towing and payload capacity beyond what a half-ton provides. It drives with the authority you expect from a heavy-duty truck, feeling planted and confident whether you're hauling a trailer or just cruising empty. The ride is firm when unladen, which is the trade-off for the stiff springs and heavy-duty suspension that let it handle big loads. Inside, the cabin is roomy and well-built, with comfortable seats and a straightforward layout that makes long drives easy. The Laramie is the luxury step up from the Tradesman, adding leather upholstery, heated seats, and a nicer stereo without losing any towing capability. Its 6.4L I8 makes 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, so it pulls heavy trailers with steady confidence. The Laramie's optional air suspension lets you lower the truck for easier trailer hookup or raise it for extra ground clearance off-road.
