2026 Ram 1500 Laramie

2026 Ram 1500 Laramie: Manahawkin Buyers Guide

Where the truck starts feeling like a luxury cabin

Laramie's leather seating and upgraded interior materials are the headline, but the tech follows: this is squarely in the range where the bigger touchscreens, the digital gauge cluster, and Uconnect's fuller feature set are realistic options rather than reaches. It's a Crew Cab, available with either 4x2 or 4x4, and every engine in the catalog — including the returning 5.7L HEMI as an option — fits here. The America 250th Anniversary Edition brings exclusive paint, a Sport Performance Hood, and leather-trimmed performance seats with blue accent stitching for buyers who want a limited-run look on top of the standard Laramie comfort package.

Who cross-shops a Laramie

Laramie tends to draw buyers moving up from a Big Horn who've decided they want the truck to also be their nicest vehicle — commuting Route 72 in comfort, then still being able to tow a boat or a camper on the weekend without a second vehicle. It's less about maximum capability (that's Rebel and RHO territory) and more about a truck that doesn't feel like a compromise on long drives up the Parkway.

Todd L. described the kind of experience Laramie-tier buyers tend to have at Manahawkin CDJR, even shopping pre-owned: "Greg 'Woody' Woodington and Eric did a great job getting me exactly what I wanted. I picked up a pre owned Ram 1500 that was spotless when I got it. They were responsive to emails and calls at any hour and helped make the car buying experience easy."

Frequently asked questions

Is the Laramie worth the jump over Big Horn?

If leather seating, upgraded materials, and a larger available touchscreen matter to you, yes — that's the core of what separates the two trims. If you're mainly after towing capability, the engine you choose matters more than whether you're in a Big Horn or a Laramie.

Can I get 4x2 on a Laramie?

Yes, Laramie is offered in both 4x2 and 4x4, unlike Warlock and the trims above it where 4x4 is standard.

Does Laramie qualify for the 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty?

The extended powertrain warranty applies to select 2026 gas Ram trucks; confirm eligibility for your specific engine and trim combination with Manahawkin CDJR at the time of purchase, since it's non-transferable and doesn't apply to every configuration.

Is there a limited edition of the Laramie?

Yes. Laramie is eligible for the limited America 250th Anniversary Edition, which adds exclusive paint, a Sport Performance Hood, and leather-trimmed performance seats with blue accent stitching on top of the standard Laramie comfort package.

The bottom line

Laramie is the trim where the 2026 Ram 1500 stops being just a work truck with options and starts being a legitimate daily-driver luxury vehicle that still tows. It's the sensible upper-middle choice for buyers who want comfort without going all the way to Limited or Tungsten money.
