2014 Ram 2500 Laramie - New TV

Been looking at upgrading for about a year since I knew I was going to purchase a TT this year...finally got to test drive the 2014 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi and well, it's in the driveway now!

Don't have our 2015 White Hawk 25BHS yet, but I'm ready when she gets here! Traded our 2011 Ram 1500 Laramie for a 2014 Ram 2500 Laramie. Fantastic truck and the new coil suspension provides a fantastic ride for a 2500. Great power, comfortable, just plain awesome!

The lower panel accent paint and wheel well trim really sets the truck up nice!

We also have the Laramie but the Mega Cab and diesel version. We love it. It made our trip from AZ to MN much more enjoyable for our DD. She could recline the back seat and had lots of leg room. Love the truck. Congrats and enjoy.

Thanks all...I waited a year to get it since the 2014s had the new suspension and the 6.4 Hemi.

Milage so far around here has been 13 or 14 but still working my way through the first tank full. I suspect 13 to 15 daily driving and 8 to 10 towing. Anything better and I'll be good.

I'm jealous-fab truck !! If you ever want to up-grade later let me know. Our 2010 1500 Laramie performed like a dream on our recent 13,000 mile trip thru 17 states and 2 western Canadian provinces. Up and down US and Canadian Rocky Mountains pulling our Jay Flight 24 RKS with no overheating problems. I'm sure there are many similar stories with Ford owners etc but for now I'm a RAM fan.

Happy & safe camping.
Pam & Dave

We have rented TTs the last 3 or 4 years, 19ft to 24ft and 5000 to 7000 pounds and our 2011 Ram 1500 Laramie never once let us down! It was a great truck and our first Ram. When we decided to upgrade (me a year ago, DW in recent months), Ram is all we looked at.

The Laramie is just beautiful on the inside, comfortable too and you can forget you are in a truck. The new 5 link coil suspension and the 6.4 Hemi added that extra bit I couldnt say no too.

Cant wait for our first outing! Would love to do 13,000 miles at one time but gotta pay for all this fun now!
