What the Ram 2500 Laramie Adds Over the Big Horn
The table below is based on Ram Canada’s 2027 feature data for a Big Horn and a Laramie, both Crew Cab 4×4 models.
| Feature | Big Horn | Laramie |
|---|---|---|
| Climate control | Air conditioning | Automatic air conditioning |
| Front seats | Unheated 40-20-40 split bench | Heated reclining 40-20-40 split bench |
| Rear seat | Full-folding rear bench | 60-40 folding rear split bench |
| Navigation | Not listed | Integrated navigation with voice activation |
| Trailer mirrors | Manual-extendable | Dual power remote heated power-extendable |
| Audio | SiriusXM | SiriusXM with 360L and HD Radio |
| Touchscreen | Uconnect 5 with 8.4-inch display | Uconnect 5 NAV with 12-inch display |
| Wheels | Polished aluminum | Machined aluminum with painted accents |
Both trucks share some equipment. Each lists LT275/70R18E tires, an HD suspension and an engine block heater. That block heater earns its keep through an Ontario winter.
Interior and Comfort Step-Up
The Laramie’s cabin feels more refined. Ram Canada’s design page points to leather-trimmed front bucket seats in Sea Salt and Bison Brown, or standard black, as the centrepiece of its distinctive style.
Beyond the heated front seats, the Laramie also offers these options:
- Leather-faced front bucket seats
- A power sunroof
- Night Edition and Level 2 equipment groups (the Big Horn offers these too)
Technology and Convenience Step-Up
The screen is the biggest everyday change. The Laramie features Uconnect 5 NAV with a 12-inch display. And if you build a Laramie with the Laramie Level 2 Plus Equipment Group, it lists a 14.4-inch touchscreen.
Ram 2500 Laramie Engines for 2027
Ram Canada offers two engines on the Laramie. Each pairs with an 8-speed automatic.
| Engine | Transmission | 2027 Ram 2500 model-wide maximum (Ram Canada) |
|---|---|---|
| 6.4L HEMI HD V8 | 8-speed automatic | Up to 405 hp and 429 lb-ft |
| 6.7L Cummins I-6 High-Output turbocharged diesel | 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic | Up to 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft |
The Cummins is the headline engine. Ram Canada cites Best-in-Class available base diesel torque of 1,075 lb-ft for the 2027 Ram 2500. It also markets the trucks as “Canada’s Longest Lasting Heavy-Duty Diesel Pickups.”
One detail matters when you pick a configuration: the Laramie Mega Cab is diesel only. For a deeper look at the diesel, read The Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel and Its Working Numbers.
How Much Can a 2027 Ram 2500 Laramie Tow with the Cummins?
According to Ram Canada’s 2027 build and price data, the Laramie with the Cummins tows up to 19,860 lb in its highest configuration. Here’s how the ratings break down:
- Laramie Crew Cab, Cummins: 18,170 to 19,860 lb
- Laramie Mega Cab, Cummins: 15,810 lb
- Laramie Crew Cab, HEMI: 14,720 to 14,830 lb
Exact capacity depends on the cab, the box length, the hitch and the equipment on the truck. So before you hitch up a fifth-wheel or a large toy hauler, ask the Southbank Dodge team to confirm the rating for the specific truck you’re considering.
Ram Canada also highlights the 2500 Class-Exclusive rear suspension systems for a smoother ride and easier trailer hookup. If your loads call for even more truck, take a look at the Ram 3500 inventory.

How much can a 2027 Ram 2500 Laramie tow with the Cummins?
With the High-Output 6.7L Cummins, Ram Canada’s build and price data shows the Laramie towing up to 19,860 lb in its highest configuration. Crew Cab models range from 18,170 to 19,860 lb, depending on box length and equipment. The diesel-only Mega Cab is rated at 15,810 lb. For reference, a Laramie with the HEMI tows 14,720 to 14,830 lb. Ratings shift with the cab, box, hitch and equipment, so ask Southbank Dodge to confirm the figure for a specific truck before you tow.
Which engines are offered on the 2027 Ram 2500 Laramie?
Two engines are offered. The 6.4L HEMI HD V8 pairs with an 8-speed automatic, and the 6.7L Cummins I-6 High-Output turbocharged diesel pairs with an 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic. Across the lineup, Ram Canada rates the HEMI at up to 405 hp and 429 lb-ft, and the Cummins at up to 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft. Those are model-wide maximums rather than per-trim ratings. The Mega Cab is diesel only, so the HEMI comes in Crew Cab builds.

Across the lineup, Ram Canada offers Regular Cab, Crew Cab and Mega Cab bodies. You can choose a 6’4″ or 8′ box, with 4×2 or 4×4 drive. Configurations vary by trim.

What warranty covers the Cummins diesel in Canada?
In Canada, Ram covers the Cummins diesel engine for 5 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. That coverage sits alongside the basic warranty of 3 years or 60,000 km, whichever comes first. 24-Hour Roadside Assistance is also included, which helps if you’re towing far from Ottawa. Ram Canada publishes the full terms, and the Southbank Dodge team can review them with you. Sticking to the recommended maintenance schedule also helps keep your diesel running strong through years of heavy work.
