2011 Ram 2500 Laramie — overview and factory features

Overview
The 2011 Ram 2500 Laramie is the full-size, heavy-duty pickup in Ram’s premium trim lineup. This example is factory-equipped with the Cummins 6.7L turbocharged inline-6 diesel, rated at 350 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. The combination of the Cummins diesel and the Laramie trim delivers a truck oriented toward serious towing and payload capability with upscale interior appointments and supportive convenience features.

Powertrain and chassis
- Engine: Cummins 6.7L turbocharged inline-6 diesel with high-pressure common-rail fuel injection and a variable geometry/variable nozzle turbocharger design. The 6.7L diesel is tuned to provide strong low-end torque for towing and highway passing.
- Transmission: factory configuration pairs the Cummins diesel with a heavy-duty automatic transmission (six-speed automatic in most factory setups) calibrated for towing and engine braking.
- Drivetrain: available in rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive; 4x4 models use a two-speed transfer case.
- Chassis and suspension: heavy-duty frame and suspension components tuned for payload and towing duties, with a reinforced rear leaf spring setup and front independent suspension intended to balance load capacity and ride comfort.
- Towing and hauling: the 2500 platform is factory-engineered for commercial and recreational towing; standard stability and anti-lock braking systems work with electronic trailer-sway control and other drivetrain controls to help maintain control when towing.

Exterior features
- Laramie exterior appointments typically include a chrome grille and chrome bumpers, polished alloy wheels, and body-color or chrome trim accents that distinguish it from lower trims.
- Lighting includes halogen reflector headlamps and fog lamps for improved visibility in poor conditions.
- Large power-adjustable side mirrors (heated on many factory Laramie configurations) improve visibility for towing; mirrors may include integrated turn signals on some factory packages.
- Bed access and utility are supported by factory bed tie-downs and bed lighting; full-size cargo bed dimensions follow the 2500 hard-working platform.

Interior and comfort
- Seating: Laramie is the luxury-oriented trim, so factory equipment includes leather-trimmed front seats and supportive cushioning. Front seats are power-adjustable and typically include heated seats; some configurations offer ventilated front seating.
- Climate and convenience: dual-zone automatic climate control is standard on Laramie, providing independent comfort settings for driver and front passenger.
- Storage and ergonomics: center console storage, multiple cupholders and door pockets, and practical interior design for long trips and work use.
- Steering and controls: tilt-and-telescoping steering column, steering-wheel mounted audio and cruise controls for easier access.
- Windows and locks: power windows, power door locks, and remote keyless entry are standard.
- Sound and connectivity: factory audio systems in Laramie come with AM/FM and CD capability and a multi-speaker configuration for improved cabin sound. Uconnect audio/communication systems (with Bluetooth phone connectivity and hands-free calling) were available as factory equipment; higher-level navigation and premium audio options were offered.

Safety and driver aids
- Brakes and stability: four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, electronic stability control, traction control and trailer-sway control are standard safety systems intended to help with on-road control and towing stability.
- Airbags: front airbags plus side curtain airbags for front and rear outboard occupants are part of the factory safety package.
- Additional convenience/safety features: tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and available factory towing packages that integrate wiring and, on many configurations, a factory-installed trailer brake controller.
