The Thoughtful Features Hiding in the Rear of the 2024 Ram 2500 Laramie

Builders, movers, and DIYers, we have the rugged 2024 Ram 2500 for sale and ready for you to explore at our dealership. We absolutely love showing off all that this terrific heavy-duty truck has to offer our customers who need a pickup that can tackle tough challenges at home and on the job site. We know the Ram 2500 is up to the most demanding work environments and tasks, and we’re proud to carry it. As long as Ram has made this full-size, hefty truck, the manufacturer has always ensured it boasts competitive capabilities for its vehicle class and serious power beneath the hood. However, what we’ve been particularly impressed with is Ram’s continued dedication to adding thoughtful features that address the real-life problems of hard workers.

The 2024 Ram 2500 is a testament to Ram’s devotion to making trucks that help make hard work easier. This is perhaps the most obvious in the bed area of the Laramie trim, where drivers will find a couple of features we think will impress the hardest of workers. The Laramie has a reputation for being a fantastic entry-level heavy-duty truck. That remains true, as it boasts a stunning cabin with quality materials, a great sound system, and innovative technology. However, it also has some treats in store for DIYers via the special tailgate and bed features. Here are two thoughtful features hiding in the rear of the 2024 Ram 2500.

The Dampened Tailgate With Power Release

For as long as there have been trucks, there has been the tailgate dilemma. Serious truck lovers know this dilemma. You have to raise and lower the tailgate with such precision, giving it enough support so that it doesn’t come crashing down on you. Manual tailgates are inconvenient and impractical. That’s why Ram gave the 2024 2500 Laramie a dampened tailgate. It is made to lower slowly and quietly, and there are many reasons you’ll love it. Plus, it has a remote release option, allowing you to open the tailgate via a button in the cabin and on your keyfob. Here are reasons we love these features.

Extend the Life of Your Tailgate

When you are working with a manual tailgate, you’re simply bound to drop it sometimes. If you lead busy days full of loading and unloading a truck bed multiple times from sunrise to sunset, you just won’t manually lower your tailgate perfectly every time. You’ll drop it, and over time, that’s tough on its construction. A dampened tailgate can extend the life of the tailgate by ensuring it always goes down slowly and with ease.

Take It Easy on Your Arms

Manually lifting and lowering a tailgate is also tough on your arms. If you’re a contractor or have another job in which you must open and shut a tailgate dozens of times a day, you can really strain the muscles in your arms throughout your career. A dampened tailgate takes the strain off of you, so you don’t have to fully support the weight of the tailgate as you lift and lower it.

Reduce Noise Pollution

The dampened tailgate doesn’t only go down slowly — it also goes down quietly. Between power drills and hammers, there’s already so much noise on a work site. A dampened tailgate that lowers quietly reduces noise pollution on a work site. It also reduces noise pollution at home, so you don’t upset the family or neighbors when you’re loading up your truck early in the morning.

Load Up With Full Arms

Thanks to the remote tailgate release, you can easily open your tailgate with just a simple push of a button on your keyfob. So, when you’re balancing boxes of materials or tools as you approach your truck bed, you don’t need to set everything down just to open the tailgate. Just push that button on your keyfob, and it’ll open automatically.

Open It Up for Friends or Colleagues

You can also open the remote release tailgate from inside the truck bed. So if you’re sitting inside, in the middle of looking up directions or getting a playlist ready, you don’t need to hop out and open the tailgate for a colleague whose arms are full. Just press a button in the cab and open the tailgate for them.

The RamBox Cargo Management System

The Laramie also has the available RamBox Cargo Management System. This is a terrific addition for those who carry expensive equipment and want to store them in a protective compartment.

A Versatile Storage Compartment

The first feature we love to show shoppers is the versatile storage compartment in the bed. It is weatherproof, lockable, and drainable. So that means that it gives you a place to store valuables that don’t fit in the cab. Lock it up, and it’ll be safe from thieves and rainfall. Beyond that, it can even act as your cooler. Thanks to its drain, this compartment can be loaded up with ice, beverages, and snacks. Simply drain the melted ice when you’re done using it.

A 115-Volt Outlet

With this cargo management system also comes a 115-volt outlet. Plug anything with a max rating of 180 watts into this outlet. That means items like laptops and tablets — even many power tools, can be powered by the back of your pickup. If you’re away from the office all day and spend most of your time on dusty, remote work sites, this is a very useful feature to have.

Auto Level Rear Air Suspension

Finally, we love showing drivers the auto-level rear suspension system on the Laramie trim. It gives you the option to lower the rear ride height of your truck, which creates optimal rear-loading conditions and even makes it easier to trailer/tow items. When you aren’t towing, you can return the rear to the normal ride height. You can make this adjustment from within the cab using a simple button. The button will blink until the desired height has been met, and then it will stop blinking so you know you’re ready to drive.
