Exterior Styling That Matches Worksites and Weekend Adventures
The 6'4" box integrates cleanly into the overall profile. It's long enough to look proportional on a truck this size while remaining practical for everyday hauling tasks.
If you're currently driving an older truck or SUV and considering an upgrade, it's worth taking a moment to get a current value on your trade-in before you visit — knowing that number upfront makes the conversation at the dealership much more straightforward.
The Forged Blue Metallic exterior paired with the Bison Brown/Sea Salt interior creates a color combination that feels intentional and premium rather than generic. This is a truck that earns a second look in any setting.
Powertrain Performance Built for Hauling and Towing Demands
Straight to the point: the Cummins High Output 6.7L I-6 turbo diesel in this 2026 Ram 3500 Laramie is one of the most capable powertrains available in a heavy-duty pickup truck. At 430 horsepower, it delivers the kind of confident, effortless power that makes towing heavy loads feel controlled rather than stressful.
Diesel engines earn their reputation in heavy-duty applications because of how they deliver power. The turbocharged diesel produces its peak torque low in the rev range, which means the truck feels strong and responsive the moment you ask it to move a loaded trailer. There's no waiting for the engine to build rpm before the power arrives — it's there immediately, which matters enormously when you're pulling onto a highway with a heavy fifth-wheel trailer or climbing a grade on a rural Kansas road.
The 8-speed automatic transmission manages that power efficiently, finding the right gear whether you're cruising at highway speed, descending a grade with a trailer in tow, or crawling through a muddy job site. Eight ratios give the transmission enough range to keep the diesel in its efficiency sweet spot during light-load highway driving while still having the low gearing needed for maximum tractive effort.
Diesel engine technology on this engine contribute to a balance of power and fuel efficiency that naturally aspirated gasoline engines in this class simply cannot match for heavy hauling applications. The intercooled turbo system manages intake charge temperatures, which helps maintain consistent power output even on hot Kansas summer days when ambient temperatures are working against engine efficiency.
The four-wheel-drive system gives this truck the traction foundation to put all that diesel power to the ground in challenging conditions. From wet grass at a rural job site to loose gravel on a farm access road, 4WD means the truck works when you need it most.
Buyers who are ready to move forward on this specific unit can start the financing process online before visiting Valor CDJR, which streamlines the purchase experience considerably.
The Cummins name carries real weight in the heavy-duty segment — it's a diesel engine with a long track record of durability in commercial and agricultural applications, which matters to buyers who plan to put serious miles and serious loads on their truck over the years ahead.
Crew Cab Comfort Designed for Families and Military Households
Folding flat load floor storage in the rear cab area adds a useful secondary storage zone for items you want to keep secure and out of the weather. Tools, gear, documents, and personal items all have a logical home inside the cab.
The #1 Seat Foam Cushion specification on this unit indicates enhanced seat cushioning, which contributes to comfort on longer drives. Small details like this matter when the truck is also a daily driver covering significant miles.
For owners who want to customize or accessorize their Ram 3500 after purchase, the Valor CDJR parts and accessories department carries genuine Ram accessories that are engineered to fit and function correctly with your specific truck.
The 115V auxiliary rear power outlet adds practical utility for passengers who need to charge devices or power small equipment during transit — a genuinely useful feature for families and work crews in equal measure.
Infotainment and Connectivity Features to Stay Linked
The 2026 Ram 3500 Laramie in Valor CDJR's inventory comes equipped with a connectivity package that keeps drivers and passengers linked to their digital lives without creating distraction behind the wheel.
The 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hot Spot turns the truck into a mobile connectivity hub, supporting multiple devices simultaneously. For a contractor who needs a crew member to pull up project plans on a tablet, or a family on a long drive where kids need entertainment, the onboard hotspot eliminates dependence on cellular data plans for individual devices.
Connected Travel and Traffic Services provide real-time traffic information to support smarter routing decisions, helping drivers avoid delays on busy corridors. The Dual Wireless Charging Pad means two devices can charge simultaneously without cables cluttering the center console area.
connected safety alert feature uses connected services to alert the driver when emergency vehicles are approaching — a safety-relevant feature that earns its place in the technology suite rather than just the safety section.
Together, these features create a connected cabin environment that supports both productive work use and family travel without requiring technical expertise to operate.
Safety Systems Tailored for Busy Fort Riley Commuters and Families
A truck this capable deserves safety systems that match its performance — and the 2026 Ram 3500 Laramie comes equipped with technology designed to protect occupants and reduce the likelihood of accidents in both urban and rural driving environments.
The Emergency Vehicle Alert System (EVAS) is worth calling out specifically. This connected-services feature monitors for approaching emergency vehicles and alerts the driver before they're visible or audible in the cab. On busy multi-lane roads near Fort Riley or in downtown Junction City, where emergency response vehicles move frequently, this system gives drivers a meaningful advance warning.
The 50 State Emissions compliance confirms this truck meets the most stringent emissions standards in the country — California and the other states that follow California Air Resources Board standards. This matters for resale value and regulatory compliance regardless of where the truck operates.
The Connectivity — US/Canada package ensures that connected safety services function reliably across the full range of travel this truck is likely to see, including cross-border trips and remote areas where connectivity infrastructure varies.
Heavy-duty trucks present unique safety considerations compared to passenger vehicles. Their mass and towing capacity mean braking distances are longer, and trailer sway is a real concern when towing near maximum capacity. The 8-speed automatic transmission with its wide ratio spread supports controlled engine braking on descents, reducing reliance on the service brakes when towing heavy loads downhill.
The bucket seat configuration up front, combined with 4-way front headrests, positions occupants correctly relative to the airbag deployment zones — a detail that matters in a collision event. The Crew Cab body structure provides a substantial safety cell for rear passengers, with full-size rear doors that include proper door-mounted protection.
For families with children, the rear seating area's access via full-size doors makes securing child safety seats significantly easier than in an extended-cab configuration. The 2-way rear headrests accommodate passengers of varying heights safely.
2026 Ram 3500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4 64' Box Pricing Breakdown
The specific 2026 Ram 3500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4 64' Box in stock at Valor CDJR carries an MSRP of $84,119.

Understanding what's included at that price point helps put the number in context. This isn't a stripped work truck — it's a Laramie trim, which sits in the upper tier of the Ram 3500 lineup and includes premium interior materials, advanced connectivity, and comfort features that buyers in lower trims would need to add through packages or aftermarket upgrades.
The factory-installed options on this specific unit include:
Option / Package | Included |
|---|---|
Cummins High Output 6.7L Turbo Diesel | Yes |
5th Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Prep Group | Yes |
4G LTE Wi-Fi Hot Spot | Yes |

When you evaluate the $84,119 MSRP against this option list, the value proposition becomes clearer. The 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Prep Group alone represents significant value for buyers who plan to tow fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailers, as factory-installed prep work is more reliable and warranty-supported than aftermarket alternatives.
Buyers comparing this truck against competitors like the Ford F-350 or the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD in comparable configurations will find that the Cummins diesel and Laramie feature content position this truck competitively in the heavy-duty segment. The Forged Blue Metallic exterior and Bison Brown/Sea Salt interior also give this unit a distinctive, premium appearance that stands apart from more common color combinations on dealer lots.
The 15 miles on the odometer confirm this is a new, unregistered vehicle — buyers receive the full new-vehicle warranty and the confidence that comes with a truck no one else has put to work.
For working professionals and military families balancing capability needs against budget, the Laramie trim represents a considered middle ground: more feature content and interior quality than base and mid-range trims, without the price premium of the top-tier configurations.
