The 2022 Ram 3500 Laramie stands out for buyers prioritizing long-term ownership value, thanks to its proven Cummins 6.7L I6 Turbodiesel, robust build, and thoughtful features designed for durability. This truck is engineered for years of heavy-duty tasks, with quality materials and construction that help sustain high resale value over time.
Pragmatic buyers looking for a reliable workhorse will appreciate the Laramie’s focus on durability and comfort. Its 4WD drivetrain is suited for all-weather capability, while the crew cab layout provides flexibility for both work and family needs. In regions with unpredictable weather like St. Louis, the combination of traction and robust engineering means confident driving year-round, whether on job sites or during weekend trips.
This truck uses the Cummins 6.7L I6 Turbodiesel paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, a combination known for its long service life and consistent performance under heavy use. The electronically controlled throttle and dual rear wheels are engineered for effective power delivery and stability when hauling or towing, contributing to minimal downtime and lower maintenance costs associated with proven diesel platforms.
Ownership costs are further controlled through integrated safety features, including ABS brakes, traction control, ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera, and electronic stability control. These systems reduce the likelihood of accidents and protect your investment, while dual front impact and side airbags, along with overhead airbags, help ensure occupant safety. The truck’s active safety suite supports long-term cost savings by potentially lowering repair expenses and maintaining consistent operation.
The Laramie trim is equipped for both utility and comfort, featuring heated front seats, heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic temperature control, GPS navigation with Uconnect 5 Nav and a 12.0-inch display, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration. The 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Prep Group and integrated center stack radio enhance its professional capabilities, while adjustable pedals and power-adjustable front seats cater to driver comfort during long hauls or daily commuting.
Compared to segment rivals like the Ford F-350 Lariat and Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD LTZ, the Ram 3500 Laramie’s value is anchored by its diesel powertrain reputation and upscale interior appointments. While all three trucks are built for heavy-duty jobs, the Laramie’s combination of durability and creature comforts yields an ownership experience that balances work capabilities with long-term satisfaction and higher resale value.
