Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn Edition – Driving Report

Ram is Chrysler’s newest brand that focuses on trucks. The big, towing, working, manly kind of trucks. Ram isn’t exactly new, though, is it? Their models are ones we are all quite familiar with already, so it’s pretty much a case of Chrysler just taking away the “Dodge” part of the name. The 1500 half-ton especially has been a familiar sight everywhere from hauling hay bales at ranches to pulling trailers at race tracks for years now, so the 2013 model is nothing too exotic. In the case of our test vehicle, though, equipped with the quite expensive and lavish Laramie Longhorn package, there was nothing stale or tired about it. In fact, even just driving it around town made us almost want to start Pickup Truck Digest.

It really did make that much of an impression, and it’s not just us, either. Ward’s named it one of its ten best interiors for 2013 and remember, this is a pickup we’re talking about. What is so great about this thing, then?
