Which Dodge Rams have leather seats?

Leather seating is available on most Dodge Ram trucks, now marketed as Ram Trucks, with higher trims more likely to include it. In current and recent generations, you’ll typically find leather on Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trims such as Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Limited, while some lower trims offer leather only as part of an optional package. Availability varies by model year, cab style, bed configuration, and regional packages, so always verify the exact build.


Leather seating by model and trim


Note on interior options: The following breakdown reflects typical patterns for recent model years; exact configuration depends on year, cab style, bed length, and regional packages. For precise details, consult Ram's official configurator or the vehicle’s window sticker.



  • Ram 1500: Leather seats are commonly standard on Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Limited trims; base Tradesman/Express/Big Horn trims generally do not include leather unless added via a Leather Seats package or similar option.

  • Ram 2500: Leather seats are typically standard on Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Limited trims; other trims may offer leather through optional packages.

  • Ram 3500: Leather seats are typically standard on Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Limited trims; leather may be available on other trims via optional packages.


Conclusion: If leather seating is a priority, target the Laramie family or Limited trims across Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; always confirm the exact build and package contents with a dealer.


How to confirm leather seats on a specific Ram model or year


Use these steps to verify whether a particular Ram has leather interior before purchase or when shopping used:



  1. Check the vehicle’s window sticker (Monroney) or the official build sheet for "Leather Seats" or "Leather Trim."

  2. Inspect interior photos or view the seats in person; genuine leather typically covers the seats, while leatherette or vinyl may appear on some trims.

  3. Review the options/packages list—look for terms like "Leather Seats," "Premium Interior," or "Leather Group" that indicate leather upholstery.

  4. Ask the dealer for VIN-based build data or interior close-ups if buying used.


Concluding: By checking the sticker, package labels, and interior photos, you can verify leather seating before finalizing a Ram purchase.


Summary


Leather seating is a common feature on Ram trucks across the 1500, 2500, and 3500 lines, particularly in mid-to-high trims such as Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Limited. Availability depends on the model year, cab/bed configuration, and optional packages, so always verify with the dealer or official configurator for the exact vehicle you’re considering.

Is laramie or bighorn better?


Neither is definitively "better" as the choice between the Ram 1500 Big Horn and Laramie depends on your priorities: the Big Horn is the more affordable, value-oriented option, while the Laramie is the more luxurious and feature-rich choice. The Laramie includes premium interior materials like leather seats, a larger infotainment screen, and more advanced safety and comfort features as standard, whereas the Big Horn provides the essentials for a capable truck at a lower cost. 
Big Horn is better if you prioritize: 

  • Budget: It has a lower starting price. 
  • Essential capability: It's still a highly capable truck with strong towing and payload, but lacks some of the luxury and advanced tech as standard. 
  • Configuration: It offers more engine options. 

Laramie is better if you prioritize: 
  • Luxury and comfort: It comes standard with leather-trimmed, heated, and ventilated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. 
  • Advanced technology: It has a larger standard 12-inch infotainment display with navigation, a 9-speaker Alpine sound system, and more advanced safety features standard. 
  • Upscale appearance: It features a sleeker exterior with more chrome accents and can be optioned with two-tone paint schemes.
