2027 cabin-equipment comparison
Laramie
What you gain: RAM identifies a leather-trimmed cabin, heated steering wheel and larger center display in its 2027 Laramie description. Confirm the selected build.
The factory photo shows a 2027 RAM 5500 Laramie Night Edition. It illustrates the family; it does not establish the exact body or options of a 3500 quote.
Compare next: Match a Big Horn and Laramie quote to the same cab, chassis and upfit requirements. Optional Night Edition styling does not establish load capacity.
Compare a 2027 Laramie configurationStart with the work body and remaining payload
A mobile technician carrying tools and parts needs a complete loaded-weight estimate, not a pickup brochure maximum. Include the service body, fuel, passengers and the trailer’s tongue or pin weight before choosing the chassis.
Service body
List each cabinet, rack, compressor and stock load. Ask the body installer for a completed-vehicle weight estimate and rear-axle load.
Flatbed or hauler
Check deck dimensions, hitch location, rear overhang and trailer clearance. Keep gross-combination limits separate from bed payload.
Step up only when the job requires it
Compare a 4500 when the completed-body weight or axle requirement exceeds the selected 3500 specification. Higher trim is not the solution to a capacity shortfall.

Questions before your McKinney-to-Bonham visit
Is this the same as a RAM 3500 pickup?
No. This guide covers a chassis cab intended for a separately selected work body. Cab-to-axle length, body installation and completed-vehicle weight must be checked independently from pickup-bed specifications.
Are Laramie Trim Group and a service body separate trims?
A work body is a separate upfit. RAM documents Tradesman and Big Horn for 2026, with Laramie equipment also documented for 2027. Confirm the exact model-year order configuration.
How much can my completed RAM 3500 carry?
Use the selected VIN’s ratings and the finished vehicle’s actual weight. The body, permanent equipment, fuel, people, cargo and trailer hitch load all affect the remaining capacity. Check both axle limits and all applicable vehicle and combination limits.
What should I send for a RAM 3500 upfit quote?
Send the body drawing, cab-to-axle requirement, body and equipment weights, passenger count, normal cargo, trailer information and any PTO needs. Ask the installer and dealership to verify the complete configuration together.
Is there a Bonham dealership in McKinney?
Our physical dealership is at 2122 N Center St in Bonham, Texas. We serve McKinney customers from Bonham; this page does not describe a McKinney branch.
Can I complete signing remotely?
Yes. All signing can be completed remotely through e-contracting. The sales team can assist, with sales managers involved when needed. Confirm required documents, funding and the handoff plan for your transaction.
What happens to my deposit?
