The southwestern style truck by RAM was first announced at the Detroit Auto Show last month. The upmarket 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn Edition truck is a class-apart from its rivals in the same range, summed up best by, Mike Manley, Ram’s head.
“The all-new 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn is a no-compromise luxury truck that delivers what buyers want most: strength, durability, technology, and efficiency,” said Mike Manley in a statement. “Wherever you look, whatever you touch, the Laramie Longhorn is filled with more craftsman-like details—including wood surfaces and 100 percent full-grain leather seats—than any other truck in the segment.”
The exterior of the Laramie Longhorn edition will be adorned with unique features such as the chrome billet grille, optional new 20- or 22-inch wheels, and the Laramie Longhorn belt-buckle badge on all four doors. The LED lights, fender flares, chrome bumpers, tow hooks, and side steps come standard. Two-tone colors enhance the look of the truck matched with the RV Match Walnut Brown.
Inside the truck, there is a full-grain leather dash-with a longhorn embossed on the glove box-, door panel coverings and armrests. The colors available for the leather, range from Brown/Light Mountain Brown to Black/Cattle Tan. The highlights of alligator skin material can be seen on the center console, instrument panel, seats, and door panel inserts.
Under the hood of this monstrous truck including a mild-hybrid system and an automatic 8-speed transmission, will either be a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, capable of producing 305 hp and 269 lb-ft torque, or a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 discharging 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet, depending on user preference. The truck’s immense power will allow it to tow a whopping 12,750 pounds.
The price hasn’t been announced yet, but given the tag of the older model ($51,490), the 2019 edition will probably be more expensive.
The Laramie and Longhorn versions of RAM 1500 are already available in the UAE, however, we have no news about Laramie Longhorn edition coming here.
