2019 Ram Goes Lux With 1500 Laramie Longhorn Edition

Well, it didn’t take long into 2018 for Ram to ramp back up their special edition announcements and kicking off the years is the 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn Edition.

If the name wasn’t a big enough of an indicator for you, the Longhorn Edition has roots closely tied to Texas. In fact, it was voted “Luxury Pickup Truck of Texas” from the Texas Auto Writers Association two years in a row. Granted that seems like a fairly niche title, but nevertheless the Laramie Longhorn Edition is luxurious with full-grain leather and barn-wood accents throughout the interior.

Via Ram:
Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn models are distinguished externally by the standard two-tone RV Match Brown trim or monotone paint, premium LED headlamps and tail lamps, and unique wheels and grilles.

Inside, the 2019 Ram 1500’s Laramie Longhorn trim exudes quality with a segment-exclusive hand-wrapped, 100 percent full-grain leather dashboard and southwestern-design-inspired door-panel and armrest coverings. Throughout the cabin, a new embossed alligator skin pattern leather covers surfaces including the center console, instrument panel, seats and door panel inserts. Other unique details include satin chrome accents, a brushed-nickel metal badge flush-mounted on the console lid and a new “Longhorn” branding mark burned on the wood-trimmed upper glove box door.

Real barn-wood accents are used throughout the cabin. Wood tandem doors on the center console reflect the heightened attention to detail and provide closed storage. At night, the cabin is accentuated with ambient lighting to create a luxurious and soothing atmosphere. Longhorn interior colors include Mountain Brown/Light Mountain Brown and Black/Cattle Tan full-leather seats with contrast piping. Heated, full-leather rear seats and class-exclusive rear seat ventilation are available on Longhorn.
