Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn Edition – Driving Report - Sports Car Digest
Ram is Chrysler’s newest brand that focuses on trucks. Ram isn’t exactly new, though, is it. Their models are ones we are all quite familiar with already, so it’s pretty much a case of Chrysler just taking away the “Dodge” part of the name. In the case of our test vehicle, though, equipped with the quite expensive and lavish Laramie Longhorn package, there was nothing stale or tired about it. In fact, even just driving it around town made us almost want to start Pickup Truck Digest. Other than some badges the Laramie Longhorn version doesn’t look much different from a normal 1500, and there’s nothing wrong with that, really. Pickups that try too hard to be flashy (Chrysler’s own Dodge Ram Rumble Bee from a few years back comes to mind) tend to look kind of over the top, so the relatively restrained looks on this particular truck were fine by us. One thing of note on... They’re not cavernous, but they are really handy for small and medium-sized stuff like hunting and fishing gear, beverages or hedgehogs, making you wonder why all trucks don’t have these. There are Western-looking details throughout, and they all have a clear, quality look to them. For the eye-catching wood trim, Ram has used an interesting Walnut. Source: www.sportscardigest.com
