The 2026 Ram 2500 Laramie Night Edition puts black exterior details around a leather-faced Heavy Duty cabin. Gasoline and Cummins diesel choices create different working specifications beneath the same appearance package. Cab, axle and installed equipment determine the truck’s loading limits; the Night Edition treatment does not settle those choices.
In this review, we’ll cover engine options, towing specs, exterior design, interior comfort and technology, pricing in Canada, and how this truck compares to competitors in its class.

Towing & Payload Capability
Heavy-duty capability is one of the reasons buyers choose the Ram 2500.
Towing Capacity
Use the rating for the exact engine, cab, box and axle configuration:
- Gas 6.4L V8: Confirm the exact gas configuration in Ram’s tow chart; Canadian overview and capability pages give different range-wide maximums
- 6.7L Cummins HO: up to 20,000 lb across the 2500 diesel range; not a verified rating for this Laramie
(Exact ratings depend on cab, box, axle ratio, and equipment.)
Trailer categories require a specific load calculation:
- Large travel trailers
- Fifth-wheel RVs
- Horse trailers
- Equipment and work trailers
Payload
Ram advertises a 4,580-lb gas maximum and a 3,590-lb diesel maximum across the 2500 range. An optioned Laramie’s payload can be lower. Use its tire-and-loading label; passengers, accessories, cargo and trailer tongue or pin weight all count against payload. A Mega Cab is not available with an eight-foot bed.
Exterior Design: Bold Night Edition Style
The Night Edition package replaces selected exterior trim with black finishes.
Night Edition Highlights
- 20×8-inch Black aluminum wheels
- Black exterior badging
- Black wheel centre hub
- Body-colour grille surround
- Grille with Gloss Black billets and accents
- LT285/60R20E OWL On-/Off-Road tires
- Sport performance hood
Its wheels and tires are part of the completed vehicle’s configuration, so check the corresponding loading labels.
Interior: Luxury, Comfort & Space
Laramie-Level Comfort
The Laramie’s cabin equipment includes:
- Leather-faced seating; front-seat configuration determines passenger capacity
- Heated front seats; confirm ventilation with the selected equipment group
- Spacious rear seating depending on cab choice
- Large center console with storage
- Soft-touch materials and modern trim elements
Ram Canada lists a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control and power front seats for Laramie. Seat-count and storage differences depend on the selected front-seat and cab configuration.
Infotainment & Tech
The Laramie Night Edition comes with Ram’s modern infotainment suite:
- Uconnect 5; screen equipment varies, with a 14.5-inch display offered in the Ram 2500 range
- Digital driver display
- Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto®
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Available premium audio system
- Integrated navigation in Ram Canada’s Laramie equipment list
Available 12-inch driver display, 10.25-inch passenger screen and surround-view cameras are separate options; Night Edition alone does not confirm those features.
Pricing in Canada
Ram Canada’s displayed Laramie starting price is a trim-level reference, not a completed Night Edition quote:
- Ram Canada displays Laramie from $97,035 CAD on its 2026 models page. This is not an optioned Night Edition quote; current discounts and fees affect the displayed amount.
- Diesel, cab choices and equipment packages change the total price
Final price depends on dealer fees, freight, taxes, and selected options.

2026 Ram 2500 Laramie Night Edition FAQ
Is the 2026 Ram 2500 Laramie Night Edition good for towing?
Use the exact cab, bed, axle, drivetrain and engine row in Ram’s towing chart. The 20,000-lb diesel figure is a range maximum and must not be assumed for an optioned Laramie.
Can this truck be 4×4?
Four-wheel drive is offered. Confirm the drivetrain on the selected Canadian Laramie build rather than inferring it from the Night Edition appearance package.
What engines are available?
The 2500 Laramie Night Edition can be equipped with the Gas 6.4L V8 or the 6.7L Cummins HO
Is the Night Edition only cosmetic?
It is primarily an appearance package. Wheels, tires and added equipment still need to be accounted for when checking the completed truck’s labels and capability.
Final Thoughts
The Laramie Night Edition combines a choice of gas or diesel power with upgraded cabin equipment and black exterior trim. Compare the exact passenger layout, towing requirements and optioned cost with competing heavy-duty pickups.

2026 Ram 2500 Laramie seating and fuel economy
The standard front bench configuration seats six; front bucket seats and a full console reduce capacity to five. Check the actual seat layout. No official NRCan L/100 km figure has been verified for this heavy-duty configuration, so this article does not substitute an estimate or a Ram 1500 rating.
Competition for the Ram 2500 Laramie
Compare similarly equipped Ford F-250 Lariat, Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LTZ and GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT configurations. Match diesel versus gas, cab size, bed length, actual payload and tow ratings before comparing total prices. A high torque figure alone does not establish how much an optioned truck can carry.
