2019 Ram Heavy Duty Laramie Longhorn Makes Its Public Debut:
Ram's Premium Truck With Southwestern Flavor...
When we were at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, one model was absent from the show that we were very excited about seeing up close and personal. The Ram Laramie Longhorn package has become a staple for premium luxury trucks with a western motif. A lot of people have regarded the Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn as their favorite trim level, due to the extensive details poured into the interior design of the truck.
Well now, Ram is finally showing the Ram Heavy Duty Laramie Longhorn trims to the public for the first time.
“The new Ram Heavy Duty sets benchmarks in HD capability, ride and handling, luxury, materials, innovation and technology, extending well past any competitive offerings,” said Reid Bigland, head of Ram brand. “The Laramie Longhorn is filled with more craftsman-like details, including wood surfaces and 100 percent full-grain leather seats, than any other truck in the segment. Yet as hardworking heavy-duty trucks, the Ram 2500 and 3500 give maximum effort all day, every day with confidence.”
With an interior surrounded by premium materials, the Laramie Longhorn uses iconic features and design elements from handcrafted materials such as an antique pocket watch, hand-tooled leather cowboy boots or a horseman’s saddle. The Heavy Duty Laramie Longhorn uses authentic wood, metal and leather elements throughout the cabin. The interior is the pinnacle of quality in the segment.

Leather isn’t the only thing that adorns the Laramie Longhorn. Ram uses satin warm-chrome accents trim out the interior with craved tooling on the trim. A brushed-nickel metal badge is flush atop the center console. Real barn-wood accents are found throughout the cabin. Wood tandem doors on the center console reflect the heightened attention to detail and provide closed storage.
