Pickup Review: 2014 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn - Driving
Overview Work horse utility, with sedan-like comfort. The trucks of my youth were never like this. Working on a horse farm might sound like an idyllic way for a horse-crazy gal to spend the summer, but the sheer scope of what that actually entailed, labour-wise, was really quite staggering. I spent more time than I care to remember on the business end of a pitchfork, and a couple of dozen horses can do a lot of business. And almost every aspect of farm work demanded a damned tough truck. If there was room behind the old bench seat for a toolbox, two intact window winders, and a glove box big enough to hold all your duct tape, fencing pliers and extra work gloves, that’s all that mattered. Looking around the sumptuous cabin of the Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn, I couldn’t help but think, “You’ve come a long way, baby. Although Ford has long dominated the pickup truck market with the F-150 , their stranglehold on first place is slipping as the other manufacturers step up their games. Ram laid down a daunting gauntlet when they upped their heavy duty max tow rating to 13,608 kilograms from 10,319 kg. But Ford countered with an increase to 14,152 kg, and a stupefying 860 pound-feet of torque in their Super Duty trucks. Source: driving.ca
