Puente Hills Ram – Why the 2026 Ram 3500 Laramie® Is the Smart Heavy-Duty Pick around Chino Hills, CA

Laramie® has long been the sweet spot in the Ram heavy-duty lineup, and for owners who balance demanding tow jobs with long highway days around hills, wind, and frequent hookups, the 2026 Ram 3500 Laramie® hits a compelling stride. Inside, leather-trimmed seating and available front buckets bring genuine comfort and support, while smart storage like the available RamBox® Cargo Management System and Crew Cab in-floor Ram Bins keep hitches, tie-downs, and tools easy to reach. The cabin’s nerve center is the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch touchscreen running Uconnect® 5 NAV—built for quick visibility of tow routes, weather, and wireless smartphone integration—while the available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display places Trailer Tow Pages, Trailer Brake Status, and Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring within your line of sight. That blend of upscale comfort and front-line utility is what separates Laramie® from the pack.

Capability options underscore the Laramie® mission. Choose the 6.4L HEMI® V8 if gas is your go-to, or select the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 for Best-in-Class available base diesel torque and up to 36,610 pounds of available diesel towing on properly equipped models. The TorqueFlite® HD eight-speed automatic brings refined, intelligent shift mapping that settles the truck under load. Pair the available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension for confident stance when you shift from tongue weight to payload, and add visibility tools like the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera, the Digital Rearview Mirror with side camera integration, and Class-Exclusive available Power Convex Trailer Tow Mirrors to make two-lane merges and tight jobsites less stressful. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and Class-Exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control can function even with a trailer attached, reinforcing Laramie® as more than a badge—it’s a full-system approach to command and confidence.

  • Powertrains: Choose the 6.4L HEMI® V8 for versatile gas performance or the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 for top-tier torque and towing headroom.
  • Tow Tech: Available Trailer Reverse Steering Control, Trailer Tow Pages, and Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring streamline setup and on-road checks.
  • Visibility: Available 360° Trailer Surround View Camera and a Digital Rearview Mirror expand awareness around truck and trailer.
  • Ride and Leveling: The Class-Exclusive available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension supports even, confident stance across loads.
  • Cabin Tech: Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 NAV plus an available 12-inch Digital Cluster Display keeps vital data in view.
  • Audio and Calm: Available 900-watt Harman Kardon® Premium Audio with Interior Active Noise Cancellation supports all-day focus.

In daily use, what stands out is how Laramie® removes friction from common tasks. Backing into a pitch-dark site is simpler when the LED Trailer Hitch Light and available camera views paint the full picture. Once hooked, a quick glance at the cluster confirms trailer brake gain and tire pressures. Need to crawl a crowded yard? The diesel’s available Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake and Heavy-Duty Four-Wheel Disc Antilock Brakes lend smooth control down gradients. And because work and life overlap, Class-Exclusive Dual Wireless Charging Pads and the available 10.25-inch Front Passenger Interactive Display keep co-pilots productive without cluttering the console with cables.

Puente Hills Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram helps owners configure Laramie® trucks for real terrain, real loads, and repeatable routines—serving Chino Hills, Diamond Bar, and Eastvale. Before you decide, consider how you tow, store, and communicate on the go. If you move frequently between jobsite and family duty, the Laramie® balance of comfort and control is a smart long-view investment in your time and focus. And if your loads are nearing the upper envelope, we can blueprint the right axle ratio, suspension, and Tow Tech options so your rig feels composed from the first mile.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Which Laramie® options best support frequent fifth-wheel towing?

Bundle the available Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package for integrated mounting hardware, add the 360° Trailer Surround View Camera for peripheral awareness, and choose the available Class-Exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension to help maintain stance under variable pin weights.

Is the diesel worth it if I only tow on weekends?

If your trailer weight sits well below the HEMI® V8’s available 18,150-pound gas towing figure and you value lower upfit complexity, the gas engine may fit better. For heavier loads, high altitudes, or frequent passes, the available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 delivers torque headroom and relaxed control under strain.

How does Laramie® improve long-distance comfort?

Leather-trimmed seating with available front buckets, available 900-watt Harman Kardon® Premium Audio, Class-Exclusive Dual Wireless Charging Pads, and Interior Active Noise Cancellation combine to reduce fatigue and keep essentials within easy reach.
