2026 RAM 1500 Laramie vs Big Horn Comparison
Laramie vs. Big Horn: Why Laramie Wins
You deserve more than “good enough.” The 2026 Ram 1500 Laramie delivers premium leather, a massive 12-inch touchscreen, and comfort features that come standard — and at Edwards CDJR, it’s more affordable than you think.

Why the Laramie Is the Smarter Buy
When you factor in everything the Laramie includes standard — features that would cost thousands to add to a Big Horn through option packages, or aren’t available at all — the value proposition becomes clear. And with our current lease special, the monthly difference is smaller than you’d expect.
Ventilated & Heated Seats
Standard
Hot summer days? The Laramie’s ventilated (cooled) front seats keep you comfortable — a feature you simply cannot get on the Big Horn. Plus heated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel all come standard.
Power-Folding Mirrors & More
Included
Power-folding, heated, auto-dimming mirrors with memory, a power sliding rear window, and 20-inch premium wheels — all standard on the Laramie, all extra-cost upgrades (or unavailable) on the Big Horn.
Genuine Leather Interior
Premium
Leather-trimmed seats with perforated inserts, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel all come standard — no packages required.
12″ Touchscreen + Navigation
12″
The Laramie includes the Uconnect 5 NAV system with a 12-inch touchscreen, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 9-speaker Alpine premium audio system with subwoofer.
Big Horn Gets Expensive Fast
$$$
Add the Level 1 & Level 2 Equipment Groups, larger wheels, and comfort packages to a Big Horn and it quickly pushes into Laramie territory — without the Laramie’s standard leather, premium tech, or ventilated seats.
