2026 RAM 2500 Laramie DJ 4X4

The 2026 RAM 2500 Laramie DJ is a substantial dual-cab ute designed around heavy-duty capability without abandoning everyday comfort. Finished in Silver Zynith and presented as a demo vehicle with 1,835km, it combines the imposing presence expected of a large American pickup with a richly appointed five-seat cabin. Its 6.7-litre turbo-diesel engine and automatic transmission provide the mechanical foundation for work, touring and recreational use, while the 4X4 Dual Range system adds flexibility when conditions become demanding.

With a 785kg payload and a braked towing capacity of 4,500kg, the RAM 2500 is suited to carrying equipment in its tub or supporting a substantial trailer. Cargo tie-down hooks, a bedliner, side steps and a rear step bumper contribute practical detail to the working brief. The elevated body and dual-range drivetrain are useful on unsealed roads and uneven surfaces, while trailer sway control, hill-holder assistance and traction control add confidence when the vehicle is loaded or towing.

The Laramie interior is configured for five occupants and uses leather-trimmed bucket seats, with electric adjustment and memory functionality for the driver. Heated front seats, ventilation for both front occupants and electric lumbar adjustment help make long drives more manageable. The second row splits and folds, giving the cabin additional versatility when passengers and larger items need to share space. Climate control, a leather steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals and proximity keyless entry further reinforce the vehicle's focus on comfort and convenience.

Technology is comprehensive for a vehicle of this size. The cabin features a colour multifunction control screen, satellite navigation, Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, supported by a premium nine-speaker sound system. A partial digital instrument display, distance-controlled cruise control and a multifunction steering wheel keep key information and controls within easy reach. Automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers and high-beam assist reduce the need for constant manual adjustment in changing conditions.

Safety and driver assistance equipment extends beyond basic reversing visibility. Front, rear and side vision cameras, front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning and collision mitigation systems help provide broader awareness around the large body. Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Active Assist are also fitted, alongside pedestrian avoidance with braking, driver attention detection and trailer sway control. LED headlights and front fog lamps contribute to visibility, while the four-wheel disc brakes, ABS, brake assist, electronic stability control and electronic brake-force distribution support controlled stopping.

The result is a full-size ute with a clear emphasis on strength, towing and load-carrying, complemented by a cabin that offers the equipment expected of a premium trim. Its combination of diesel torque, four-wheel-drive hardware, generous dimensions and practical tub features makes it a considered option for buyers who need more than a conventional light-duty ute, while the extensive comfort and connectivity equipment keeps it usable beyond purely commercial duties.
