2018 RAM 3500 Performance and Engine
6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Power
The 6.7L inline-six Cummins Turbo Diesel engine paired with the heavy-duty 6-speed automatic transmission is one of the most respected powerplant combinations in the full-size truck segment. In this generation, it produces robust torque figures that make towing fifth-wheel trailers, gooseneck loads, and heavy equipment feel effortless. The 6-speed HD automatic is calibrated specifically for heavy-duty towing and hauling, with wide gear ratios designed to keep the engine in its torque band whether you're climbing grades on Highway 26 or crawling through a worksite.
4WD Capability for Pacific Northwest Conditions
Four-wheel drive isn't optional in the Pacific Northwest — it's essential. Whether you're navigating icy roads in the Cascade foothills, pulling through a muddy job site in Clackamas County, or heading up into the mountains for a weekend, this RAM 3500's 4WD system gives you the confidence and traction to handle conditions that would stop lesser trucks in their tracks.
RAM 3500 Laramie Features and Interior
The Laramie trim is where RAM starts getting genuinely luxurious. Expect features like premium leather-trimmed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, real wood interior accents, and a high-resolution touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, Bluetooth, and smartphone connectivity. The Crew Cab body style delivers a full rear seat with generous legroom — making this as comfortable for a long highway run as it is tough on a job site. You also get dual-zone automatic climate control, premium audio, and a well-organized center console designed for professionals who live in their trucks.
RAM 3500 Reliability and Ownership
The RAM 3500 with the Cummins 6.7L diesel has one of the strongest long-term reliability records of any heavy-duty truck on the market. Diesel truck owners frequently report 250,000 to 400,000 miles on original engines when the truck is properly maintained — and the 6.7L Cummins is particularly well-regarded for its durability, even under consistent towing and hauling stress. The 6-speed Aisin-sourced heavy-duty automatic transmission in this configuration is similarly bulletproof. Owners praise the RAM 3500 for its towing stability, ride quality that punches above its class, and the overall sense of build quality the Laramie trim delivers. At 143,157 miles, a well-maintained example like this one has significant life ahead of it.
