- Reliability (4)Ram heavy-duty trucks generally have a good reputation for reliability, particularly the Cummins diesel engine. While complex, major components are robust. Regular maintenance is key to longevity.
- Maintenance (3)Maintenance costs can be higher than average due to the sheer size and complexity of heavy-duty components, especially with the diesel engine. Parts can be more expensive, and some services require specialized tools or knowledge.
- Technology (4)Equipped with the Uconnect 5 infotainment system, the Ram 3500 Laramie provides a user-friendly experience with a large touchscreen, quick responses, and a good array of connectivity features including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Advanced driver-assist systems are available and work well.
- Comfort (4)The Laramie trim offers a very comfortable interior with high-quality materials, supportive seats, and a quiet cabin for a truck of this size. The ride quality is surprisingly good, especially unloaded, thanks to the coil-spring rear suspension (or optional air suspension).
- Dynamics (3)For a heavy-duty truck, the 2021 Ram 3500 Laramie handles its size reasonably well, especially with the available air suspension. Steering is light but provides enough feedback for highway driving. It's not agile, but competent for its class.
