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 5500 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 configurationSpecify the completed truck before pricing the trim
A heavy service body, crane or specialized work body can consume substantial capacity before the first tool is loaded. Start with an upfitter’s body, mounting and loaded-axle requirements.
Heavy utility body
Include cranes, outriggers, tanks, stocked cabinets and accessories. Confirm body mounting and front/rear axle loads with the installer.
PTO and vocational equipment
Provide the equipment’s power and operating needs. PTO provision and the completed installation must be confirmed for the actual powertrain; a diesel badge is not approval for every PTO application.
Access and operation
Check overall completed length and height against bays and jobsites, then review turning space, parking and the correct operator and registration requirements with the appropriate providers.

Questions before your McKinney-to-Bonham visit
Is this the same as a RAM 5500 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 5500 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 5500 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?

Can I complete signing remotely?

What happens to my deposit?
