2022 Ram 3500 Laramie price and specs

Ram Trucks Australia rounds out its local range by introducing the new version of its biggest truck in Australia, the single-specification Ram 3500 Laramie.

  • 2022 Ram 3500 pricing and specifications
  • Ram rolls out its biggest truck to Australia
  • Single high-spec variant sits atop local Ram line-up
  • Priced from $162,950 before on-road costs

Ram Trucks Australia will begin offering the new-generation 2022 Ram 3500 Laramie heavy-duty pick-up in Australia, with the new version of the manufacturer’s largest local offering sitting at the top of a revised three-model line-up.

The updated Ram 3500 sits above both the new DT Series 1500 and recently-revised 2500, delivering some of the biggest towing capacities and payloads in the business.

Heading up the local Ram range, the Ram 3500 Crew Cab will only be offered in Laramie specification and will be priced from $162,950 before on-road costs.

As with all Ram vehicles sold by the factory-backed Ram Trucks Australia – rather than independent importers and converters with no affiliation to the factory – the 3500 is converted to right-hand drive in Melbourne by the Walkinshaw Automotive Group, which also remanufactures Chevrolet pick-ups and does the final assembly on the W Series Volkswagen Amarok 580.

Like its smaller 1500 and 2500 stablemates – both of which entered new model generations earlier in 2021 – the Ram 3500 underwent the same design and homologation processes involved in bringing these new-generation pick-ups to Australia.

Ram Trucks Australia states this process included 50,000 hours of pre-build development, 80,000km of rolling road tests, and 50,000km of real-world driving.

Powering the high-spec Ram 3500 Laramie is a 6.7-litre inline-six Cummins turbo-diesel engine which delivers 276kW/1152Nm to the road through a four-wheel drive system. A six-speed torque-converter automatic is the only transmission available.

A two-stage longitudinal leaf solid axle, along with those those lofty engine outputs, allow a payload of 1724kg. The Ram 3500 is also rated to tow up to eight tonnes (when fitted with appropriate hitch and air brakes).

Standard equipment includes a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system (compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), 10-speaker Alpine stereo system, a 7.0-inch display within the instrument cluster, part-leather upholstery, 18-inch wheels, LED headlights and tail-lights, 360-degree surround-view camera, and dual-zone climate control.

Safety systems include autonomous emergency braking, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and tyre pressure monitoring.

An additional Driver Assist Package ($1950) adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path and trailer detection. Metallic and pearlescent paint costs an extra $950.

The 2022 Ram 3500 Laramie is in showrooms now.
