At DFW Diesel Sales, we pride ourselves on offering serious trucks for serious drivers—and when it comes to getting the job done, few names are more trusted than RAM 2500. Whether you’re after bold styling, raw power, or luxury-level comfort in a workhorse body, our lineup delivers. Today, I’m diving into a side-by-side look at three standout trucks on our lot: the 2015 RAM 2500 4WD Mega Cab Laramie, the 2015 RAM 2500 4WD Crew Cab Longhorn, and the 2018 RAM 2500 Tradesman 4×4 Crew Cab. Each has its own strengths, and I’m here to break it all down.
Built to Haul, Styled to Impress
RAM has carved out a niche for building aggressive-looking trucks that also turn heads, and these three are no exception. Whether you’re drawn to the chrome accents and commanding grille of the Laramie, the western-inspired touches of the Longhorn, or the functional no-frills aesthetic of the Tradesman, each truck presents a distinct personality. What they all share is a purposeful stance and rugged exterior proportions that remind you these trucks are built for more than just good looks.
Color choices and finish play a role in personality, too. While some trucks lean toward the refined and polished end of the spectrum, others are ready to wear a few scuffs from the job site with pride. No matter your preference, the RAM 2500 lineup offers an option that reflects your lifestyle and your attitude behind the wheel.
Comfort Where It Counts Most
Inside, these trucks offer a range of experiences. The 2015 RAM 2500 Laramie leans into upscale appointments with leather upholstery, refined trim materials, and an infotainment system that keeps things simple but functional. It’s a truck that knows how to work hard but also doesn’t mind showing off a bit.
The 2015 RAM 2500 Longhorn adds a little more character with detailed interior accents and western-themed finishes. If you like your luxury with a bit of grit and personality, this one’s for you. Meanwhile, the 2018 Tradesman focuses more on utility, offering a clean, functional layout with everything you need and nothing you don’t. It’s easy to clean, straightforward to operate, and built to be used every day in real-world conditions.
All three offer plenty of cabin space, especially in the rear seating areas. Whether you’re hauling gear or crew, there’s no shortage of room in the back. Thoughtful storage compartments, smart controls, and easy-to-navigate layouts make long hours on the road more comfortable.
Strength You Can Count On
What’s under the hood matters most when you’re shopping for a RAM 2500, and all three trucks bring serious muscle. Whether you’re loading up for the jobsite, towing a trailer, or venturing off-road, these trucks are designed to perform without hesitation.
The Laramie and Longhorn both offer substantial towing capability, driven by robust engines that deliver high torque and confident acceleration. With 4WD and heavy-duty suspension systems, they don’t blink at tough tasks. The 2018 Tradesman, while slightly newer, still brings serious strength with its 4×4 Crew Cab setup, making it a strong contender for those needing work-ready capability with a bit less luxury.
Steering and handling across the lineup remain predictable and solid. These are big trucks, but they don’t feel unwieldy. Once you settle into the driver’s seat, the balance of control and road presence is immediately noticeable.
Power That Pays Off
When you’re buying a heavy-duty truck, price is only part of the equation. What you really want is long-term value—and that’s exactly what this trio provides.
The 2015 Laramie offers premium features at a price point that’s surprisingly accessible. The Longhorn adds flair and unique touches without sacrificing utility. And the 2018 Tradesman, being the newest of the group, offers updated components and fewer miles while maintaining a no-nonsense attitude toward work.
No matter which direction you go, these RAM 2500s are smart investments. With proper maintenance, they’ll serve you for years—on job sites, road trips, or wherever your next haul takes you.
