RAM 2500 Laramie Night Mega Cab 4x4 6'4" | Cummins Diesel | Extended warranty 05-2029 or 200,000 km |2023 RAM 2500 Laramie Night Edition Mega Cab 4x4, a Cummins still protected until 2029
A used diesel is first a matter of trust, and this 2023 RAM 2500 Laramie answers that better than most. Put into service on May 30, 2023 and showing 100,098 km, it has worked, and we are not hiding it. In return, it comes with a 6-year or 200,000 km Mopar extended warranty active until May 31, 2029, a factory diesel engine warranty until May 2028 and Mopar rustproofing warranted until 2049. Add the Mega Cab, the largest cab in the RAM HD lineup, the Night Edition and a complete towing setup. It is in stock at Daniel Paré, in the Beauce region.
Cummins 6.7L engine and six-speed transmission
Under the sport performance hood sits the 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel inline six with high-pressure common-rail injection. It produces 370 horsepower (276 kW) and, more importantly, 850 lb-ft (1,152 N·m) of torque at 1,700 rpm, which moves a heavy trailer without making the engine scream, uphill or from a standstill. Its selective catalytic reduction emissions system uses diesel exhaust fluid.
The 68RFE six-speed automatic, with dual filtration and a bandless design that reduces maintenance, includes a Tow/Haul mode that adapts shift points under load. The 11.5-inch rear axle uses a 3.73 ratio and, on this unit, the optional anti-spin rear differential. The electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case engages 4WD on the move, with low range.
Unique to the 2500, the five-link coil-spring rear suspension favours everyday ride comfort. Four large disc brakes with Hydro-Boost assist, a 220-amp alternator, dual batteries and an engine block heater round out the spec sheet of a genuine work truck.
Towing and payload
Numbers from the 2023 Stellantis towing chart for this exact configuration, meaning Mega Cab 4x4, 6'4" box, 6.7L Cummins, 3.73 axle and the gross vehicle weight rating printed on the original window sticker:
· Maximum trailer weight of 14,620 lb (6,630 kg)
· Maximum payload of 1,940 lb (880 kg)
· Gross vehicle weight rating of 9,900 lb (4,490 kg)
· Gross combined weight rating of 24,240 lb (10,995 kg)
More importantly, it is equipped to use it:
· Integrated trailer brake controller, Class V hitch receiver and 4- and 7-pin trailer wiring
· Factory fifth-wheel and gooseneck prep, with a seven-pin connector in the bed
· 360-degree surround view cameras and a cargo-view camera with zoom, handy for lining up a ball or a fifth-wheel hitch
· Trailer reverse guidance that shows both sides of the trailer on a single screen
· Heated, power-telescoping and power-folding trailer-tow mirrors with memory
· Instrument-panel auxiliary switches, clearance lamps and rear back-up alarm
· Tow hooks, transfer case skid plate, side steps and Mopar spray-in bedliner
The ball or fifth-wheel hitch itself is added to suit your trailer.
Transferable warranties and protection
At 100,098 km, the factory basic and powertrain warranties are over. That is exactly what gives this truck's protection plans their full value:
· 6-year or 200,000 km Mopar extended warranty, active until May 31, 2029, zero deductible, with roadside assistance, transferable at no charge
· Factory Cummins diesel engine warranty, active until May 30, 2028 or 160,000 km
· Factory corrosion perforation and major emissions component warranties, on the same terms
· Mopar body and undercoating rustproofing, warranted until December 31, 2049
· Mopar paint sealant and leather and vinyl protection, warranted until May 31, 2028
The Mega Cab, extra room you can measure
The difference with a Crew Cab is real: 43.1 in. (1,096 mm) of rear legroom instead of 40.2 in. (1,022 mm), 142 cu. ft. (4,021 L) of total interior volume and 12.1 cu. ft. (343 L) of storage behind the second row. For a work crew, a family or long trips with the travel trailer, that is a concrete advantage. With an overall length of 249.9 in. (6,348 mm), simply check your garage. The Laramie cabin follows suit:
· Leather-faced ventilated and heated front bucket seats
· Heated second-row seats and heated steering wheel
· Dual-zone automatic temperature control
· Memory for the driver's seat, mirrors, radio and power-adjustable pedals
· Power sliding rear window with rear window defroster
· Remote start, Keyless Enter 'n Go proximity entry and damped tailgate with remote release
Technology and connectivity
The 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with built-in navigation offers split-screen display, supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and gives access to the off-road and trailer-tow pages. The 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and SiriusXM with 360L complete the package. The 750-watt Harman Kardon system with 17 speakers, including a subwoofer, quickly makes a base radio forgettable.
Safety and driver assistance
This Laramie was ordered with the advanced driver assistance systems, a choice that changes everything on the highway with a trailer:
· Adaptive cruise control with stop, which slows all the way to a full stop even with a trailer attached
· Full-speed forward collision warning plus with automatic emergency braking, which also applies the trailer brakes
· Lane keep assist and adaptive steering
· Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection that accounts for trailer length
· Front and rear park assist and rear back-up camera
· LED headlamps and fog lamps, automatic high beams and rain-sensing wipers
· Electronic stability control, hill start assist, trailer sway control and six air bags
Night Edition design
The Night Edition trades chrome for a darker look: sport performance hood, black-painted grille, black badging and black headlamp and taillamp bezels, with body-colour bumpers and door handles. On Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat paint, the truck is black from grille to tailgate, substantial and understated, on 20-inch black aluminium wheels.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Mopar extended warranty cover, and until when?
It is a 6-year or 200,000 km Mopar Vehicle Protection service contract, Gold version, active until May 31, 2029 or 200,000 km, whichever comes first. It has a zero deductible, includes roadside assistance and a rental vehicle allowance, and transfers to the next owner at no charge. Close to 100,000 km and more than two and a half years of coverage remain. The Quebec legal warranty also applies, this vehicle falling into category C.
How much can it tow, and what role does payload play?
The Stellantis chart rates this configuration at 14,620 lb (6,630 kg), calculated with a conventional hitch where tongue weight is about 10 percent of the trailer. With a fifth-wheel or gooseneck, the standard calls for about 15 percent on the bed instead, which puts more demand on the 1,940 lb (880 kg) payload, which also has to cover passengers and gear. We can check your combination with you before you buy.
Why does a 9,900 lb GVWR matter to businesses?
In Quebec, a road vehicle with a GVWR of 9,921 lb (4,500 kg) or more is considered a heavy vehicle, with the obligations that come with commercial use. At 9,900 lb (4,490 kg), this RAM sits just under that threshold when driven on its own. Hitched to a trailer with a GVWR of 4,500 kg or more, however, the combination becomes a heavy vehicle. The trade-off for this GVWR is a trailer rating about 1,000 lb (450 kg) lower than an identical 2500 rated at 10,000 lb (4,536 kg).
Is a Cummins at 100,000 km a good buy?
This mileage, about 30,000 km per year, is above average for a three-year-old truck, and we would rather say so plainly. For a work diesel, it is not a red flag, especially since the engine keeps its factory warranty until May 30, 2028 or 160,000 km and the Mopar extended warranty runs until 2029. We have verified that the engine and its emissions system are original, with no reprogramming. Plan on ultra-low sulphur diesel and diesel exhaust fluid.
How much fuel does it use?
There is no official EnerGuide rating for this model. In Canada, pickups with a gross vehicle weight rating above 8,500 lb (3,856 kg) and a box of 72 in. (183 cm) or longer are not subject to fuel consumption testing. We would rather not quote an unofficial number, since real consumption varies a lot with load and trailer.
How does it handle winter in the Beauce?
It is well equipped for our winters. Shift-on-the-fly 4WD, low range and the anti-spin rear differential help in heavy snow and on sloped driveways. Remote start, the engine block heater, heated front and rear seats and the heated steering wheel make January mornings far more bearable. Dedicated winter tires are still recommended on a truck this heavy.
Are there open recalls, and what happens at delivery?
Every vehicle is checked in the Stellantis system before delivery, and any applicable recall is performed at no charge by our certified shop, on top of our full pre-delivery inspection. You can ask us to run that check in front of you before you commit.
Why buy this truck from you rather than elsewhere?
Because a Cummins diesel with active Mopar warranties is best looked after by a certified Stellantis shop with wiTECH and Mopar parts on hand, and because our Sainte-Marie and Saint-Malachie locations put service less than thirty minutes from most municipalities in the Beauce.
