Cummins Engine
Combine world-class capability with outstanding performance and you’ve got the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. Virtually indestructible in design, the Cummins Turbo Diesel is engineered to the tolerances, quality and durability to power semi class big rigs. Rated at 276kW and 1084Nm, the incredible torque delivers uncompromising strength for towing and hauling. The engine features a next generation Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) System and an ultra-efficient Diesel Cooling System with an 11 blade fan and a smart diesel exhaust brake.
Whether you carry your weight in a trailer or in your tub, the 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine delivers.
Six Speed Automatic Transmission
The Cummins Turbo Diesel engine is packaged with the 68RFE six-speed automatic transmission, which includes driver-adaptive shifting and three multiple clutch packs, dual filters on a dual stage pump and an independent lubrication cooler that delivers ample pressures under all loads and driving conditions.
Active Air
Sometimes, the best things come from sitting and listening. For years, Ram engineers learned from some of the toughest workers around: customers. It’s paid off in increased performance, thanks to the Active Air®system, designed specifically for those who take trucks to the limit day in and day out.
In extreme heat or high altitudes, the Ram Active Air® system reads outside conditions and automatically switches to intake cooler air from the grille.
Ram Active Air® technology helps ensure optimal engine air intake regardless of climatic elements. We made sure that optimal power and torque are virtually certain in all tow, haul, push, pull scenarios—and even in the most extreme temperatures known to man.
Tough 4 x 4
The transfer case in the Ram is exactly what you need for ultra 4x4 capability. The BorgWarner BW 44-46 transfer case features responsive electronic shift on the fly engineering with three operating ranges plus neutral. This impressive unit offers a long range reduction ratio of 2.64:1 – an ideal ratio when off road in a slow rock climbing situation or when using your Ram 4x4 on challenging terrain or steep grades. You need capability and performance that exceeds the need and Ram Heavy Duty trucks are designed to excel.
Advanced Suspension
The Ram 2500 is defined by capability, with standards that allow zero tolerance for compromise or for convention. In front, a unique three-link coil spring suspension. At the back, a class exclusive five link coil spring suspension featuring unique multi-rate coil springs and heavy duty fixed displacement twin tube shock absorbers, both of which are placed in an outboard position that optimizes performance and minimises noise and vibration. Innovative Ram technology delivers it all: phenomenal ride quality, impeccable road manners and unrivalled control. Let the others try to catch up.
The Frame – Uncompromising Support
Whether used for business or pleasure a Ram Heavy Duty gives you the means to master the toughest tasks. The Ram 2500 uses ksi steel with eight tough cross members all contributing to robust towing and hauling. The front and rear sections are produced through hydroforming, a process that ensures durable strength and mass efficiencies. Rail contours are ideally placed for the suspension components and ancillary mounts. The frame strength gives you no-nonsense towing with structural integrity to ensure occupant comfort when hauling big payloads.
The proven ladder frame also features a large front suspension cross member with roll formed centre rail sections in a smart outwardly curved position to improve rear spring and shock placement.
LARAMIE 2500 HAULING & TOWING
The Towing Edge
True influence is determined not by what you say, but by what you do—and how much weight you pull. And with Ram Trucks one thing is clear, they do what heavy duty trucks should.
Whether you carry your weight in a trailer or in your cargo box, the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine delivers. The Ram 2500 generates 1084Nm of torque, an impressive maximum braked towing of 6,942kg using a pintle and a 913kg payload#.
Class V Hitch Receiver
With fully boxed rear rails and rear axle cross member, Ram pickups are specially designed to accommodate the Class V Hitch system, which provides up to 4500kg maximum braked towing capacity on a 70mm ball.
Electronic Stability Control
The Ram models come standard with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) - a system that optimizes vehicle stability and helps maintain directional control under demanding or adverse conditions. ESC compares the driver’s steering input to the vehicle’s actual movement, helping give you more control on the toughest jobs out there.
ESC has an added feature called Trailer Sway Dampening, which detects a swaying trailer and dampens the effect by applying brake pressure to alternating wheels and adjusting the throttle to bring the vehicle and the trailer under control.
Dash Mounted Trailer Brake Controller
No matter how heavy the load, the dashboard-mounted Trailer Brake Controller lets you automatically or manually operate the electronic brakes on properly equipped trailers. And with the Electronic Range Select and tow/haul mode, you'll get the job done more easily than ever before.
LARAMIE 2500 STYLE & UTILITY
Laramie: Life Is Sweet
Few pickups stand out with such sophistication as the Ram Laramie. The luxurious treatments and inviting interiors bring a wealth of appointments, design refinements, comfort and craftsmanship to the Ram.
You’ll know, feel and see it from the moment you take a seat in the Ram Laramie, with features that include the distinctive six ring instrument cluster and the understated elegance of leather trim in stunning Premium Bristol Black with subtle instrument panel treatments. When it comes to luxury, it’s clear – you’ve arrived.
UConnect Connectivity
Connectivity is key. Along with a full colour 8.4 inch touchscreen system. The brilliant universe of in-cab technology makes available a world of telematics and electronics. Uconnect includes Bluetooth, hands free voice command and indispensable NAV systems.
Electronic Vehicle Information Centre
Step into a Ram and you’re stepping up to technology unimaginable a decade ago through the impressive Electronic Vehicle Information Centre (EVIC) display. The full colour seven inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display offers astonishing clarity and tonnes of real time mechanical data. Add scroll-type interfaces and intuitive steering wheel mounted toggle switches for instant vehicle information (there are 34 menu options and graphics) and PowerNet electrical architecture with smart modules and you’re in control of all of it.
Storage
Intelligent thinking is evident throughout the Ram and storage is no exception.
Rear seats fold up or down for level floor hauling when materials are best carried inside. The front centre seat opens for at hand storage. Huge bins in the front doors offer serious volume. In floor storage bins are removable for draining ice and invaluable for keeping things out of sight.
Interior
The Ram 2016 models have the understated elegance of leather trim in stunning Black Bristol.
LARAMIE 2500 SAFETY & SECURITY
From Braking to Backing Up
Groundbreakers go the distance, enduring early mornings and long evenings to do a job right. They go above and beyond, covering every detail—even the small things that others overlook. From braking to backing up, Ram engineers considered every angle to help you work more efficiently and securely.
Cargo View Camera
The Cargo View Camera helps provide a view of the bed for easier hook up of trailers. This innovative camera also allows you to keep an eye on your cargo, with a clear image prominently displayed on the Uconnect® screen.
Smart Exhaust Brake
The state-of-the-art diesel "smart" exhaust brake was engineered to help provide excellent stopping power and control, giving you optimal command of the toughest loads, day in and day out.
ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera
The ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera is mounted within the tailgate handle to provide drivers with a clear view of what’s behind them. The crisp colour dashboard display helps make parking and trailer hook ups a breeze.
Electronic Stability Control
The Ram models come standard with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) - a system that optimizes vehicle stability and helps maintain directional control under demanding or adverse conditions. ESC compares the driver’s steering input to the vehicle’s actual movement, helping give you more control on the toughest jobs out there.
ESC has an added feature called Trailer Sway Dampening, which detects a swaying trailer and dampens the effect by applying brake pressure to alternating wheels and adjusting the throttle to bring the vehicle and the trailer under control.
LARAMIE 2500 REMANUFACTURE
How We Turn A Left Hand Drive Legend Into A Right Hand Drive Legend.
There's only one way to remanufacture a world famous RAM ... use world famous automotive engineers. Then add a multi million dollar investment in state of the art tooling and a purpose-built production facility and it's no wonder Ram Trucks Australia is the only factory-authorised importer of this American legend.
Throughout the remanufacture process, everything is meticulously considered to ensure RAM's legendary driving experience is maintained.
The attention to detail - the complete remodelling of the dashboard.
The precision - the optimum positioning of the firewall.
The reliability - the right hand drive steering box, for example, is made by the same manufacturer that supplied the original left hand drive box.
The safety - Ram Trucks Australia is the only importer to crash test a RAM TRUCK to demonstrate the successful deployment of the airbags, and our right hand drive RAM passed the crash test with flying colours.
The combination of this world class engineering, intense scrutiny and exhaustive testing delivers a right hand drive legend that's hard to believe was once a left hand drive legend.
And to ensure the RAM legend lives on, all Ram Trucks Australia pickups are covered by a 3 year/100,000km warranty (whichever comes first) and Roadside Assistance. Our trucks are also supported by a national dealer network to provide full parts and service assistance.

# Payload and kerb weight figures are based on vehicle certification. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure: weight of fully loaded vehicles do not exceed GVM; front and rear axle load limits are not individually exceeded; the combined weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including tow ball download when towing) and trailer does not exceed the GCM; compliance to State and Territory towing regulations. Payload is the combined value of occupants, luggage, cargo, added options, accessories and tow ball download (when towing). Kerb weight includes the vehicle with a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment, excluding occupants. Additional weights of optional features, occupants, luggage, cargo, accessories and tow ball download (when towing) must be taken into account when calculating payload.
