2026 Ram 1500 Laramie: Methuen Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2026 Ram 1500 Laramie

The 2026 Ram 1500 Laramie starts at $61,480 MSRP before the $2,795 destination charge and is where the cabin turns from practical to properly comfortable, with a leather-trimmed interior and luxury-level materials and technology. It is offered as a Crew Cab in two-wheel or four-wheel drive, with access to the Hurricane sixes and the returning 5.7L HEMI V8, and an America 250th Anniversary Edition arrives in limited numbers. Methuen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can seat you in a Laramie and let you judge the difference yourself.

The first trim that feels like a premium truck

Drive a Big Horn and a Laramie back to back and the difference lands in the cabin before it shows up anywhere else. Leather-trimmed seating replaces fabric, the materials around your elbows get nicer, and the technology list grows. That is the Laramie’s whole argument, and it is a good one for anyone who spends real hours behind the wheel, whether that is a commute down I-93 or a long run to the Cape.

It also stays on the practical side of the luxury line. The Laramie is a Crew Cab, so rear-seat passengers get real space, and it still arrives in rear-wheel drive for buyers who do not need four-wheel traction. If you want one more reason to stop here and not climb higher, it is the price: you stay roughly $15,000 below the Limited and well under the Tungsten.

Powertrain choices

Ram builds the 1500 line around the 3.6L Pentastar V6, two Hurricane sixes and the 5.7L HEMI V8, so ask which engines are on the Laramies in stock. The Standard-Output Hurricane makes 420 hp and 469 lb-ft. The HEMI, back for 2026, is an added-cost option on this trim, so get a current price on the truck you want. The 8-speed automatic comes with every engine. For fuel economy, EPA numbers for the Standard-Output Hurricane 4×4 run 18 city, 24 highway and 20 combined on regular fuel, while the HEMI trades some mileage for its V8 character. Ask to see window stickers because the exact engine and axle determine the figures.

America 250th Anniversary Edition

For 2026 Ram offers a limited-number anniversary edition on the Laramie. It includes leather-trimmed performance seats with blue inserts, exclusive decals and badges, a choice of Molten Red, Bright White or Hydro Blue paint, a Sport Performance Hood, painted black bumpers and wheel flares, red seat belts with red, white and blue stitching, and a Mopar spray-in bedliner. Availability is limited, so check with the store early if the package appeals.

Laramie in context

The Big Horn is the budget-friendlier option if you can live without leather. Step up to the Limited for the luxury-flagship experience, or jump to the Tungsten if you want the most lavish Ram 1500 built. The Rebel is the pick when your priority is off-road ability rather than interior comfort.
