At the Auto show in Chicago Ram Trucks announced it is taking the 2015 Ram Laramie Limited to an even higher level of sophistication and attention to detail with an upgraded interior and exterior trim. Featuring premium materials, such as an all-black, full-leather seating, real wood interior components and unique badges, Ram Laramie Limited is a “black-tie” luxury alternative to the popular southwestern-themed Laramie Longhorn edition pickup. The new Ram trim, available on the 1500, 2500 and 3500 models
The Laramie Limited’s all-new grille is the most prominent change of the exterior. Its new billet port grille breaks from the long tradition of a crosshair styling with bold “RAM” lettering.
Exterior features include a body-color front fascia with fog lamps and a matching, painted rear bumper. For added flash, an optional exterior package covers the front and rear bumpers in bright chrome. To address customer demand, select-colored Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks come standard with chrome.
On each side of the grille, a quad headlamp design includes a bi-functional halogen projector system placed in a dark background. Fifteen amber LEDs illuminate park/turn/position lamps and three amber LEDs serve for the side markers. A vertically ribbed inner lens softens the glow and retains the improved visual component of the segment exclusive LEDs. The Ram design team carefully crafted the interior bezel and housing to create a visually entertaining, yet functional piece of hardware. Also, a Ram shield logo is molded into the housing, and the Ram name molded into the inside of the outer lens.
Ram 1500 Laramie Limited features a 20-in. forged multi-surface aluminum wheel – unique in the truck market. Heavy Duty models also feature a new multi-surface 20-in. fully-polished aluminum, six-spoke wheels. Wheel centers are embossed with the Ram brand name.
Matching the new front grille theme, a new tailgate design is fixed with a 20-in.-wide, bright chrome “RAM” badge. A new chrome accent strip lines the base of the gate. Premium tail lamps are equipped with 15 red LEDs and three red LEDs for the side marker.
The Limited interior starts with an all-black leather cockpit – the seats are covered in Black Natura Plus premium leather. Using an idea borrowed from the Longhorn trim, rear flap-closure seatback map pockets with modern, chrome Ram-lettered buckles also are unique to Laramie Limited.
Passenger touch points are given a soft, comfortable feel. The Ram Laramie Limited’s double-stacked center console, topped with a French-stitched full-leather lid and pronounced Limited badge, covers USB, Auxiliary and 12-volt service points. Just forward of the console lid, a new bin houses a cellular phone and tablet holder, which can be concealed with a tambour wood sliding door.
The 2015 Laramie Limited features the next generation 8.4-inch Uconnect system with standard navigation. The center stack is finished off with K-black Dark Metallic paint, Argento inlays and surrounded by large Liquid Graphite bezels.
Ram Laramie Limited editions receive remote LED lighting at the inside door handles, and a full-length light that illuminates the truck’s multifunction lower map pockets, front and rear. Beneath the dash is soft footwell lighting, providing both functional and aesthetic properties.
The Ram Laramie Limited also is equipped with air suspension (1500 only), wheel-to-wheel side steps, navigational radio, remote start, backup camera, power adjustable pedals with memory, heated steering wheel, front ventilated and heated seats, heated rear seats and RamBox (Heavy Duty, 6-ft., 4-in. bed only).
The Laramie Limited trim will be available in Ram 1500, Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 single- and dual-rear-wheel; Crew Cab and Mega Cab (Heavy Duty); four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive; and short- and long-wheelbase models.
