Default Is My Truck a Laramie?

I bought my 2001 Ram 1500 used last may. I absolutely love this truck (except the cracked dash).

But, I don't know how to identify whether it is a Laramie, SLT, etc.

There are no emblems or markings on the truck to tell me.

Thanks in advance.

Mitch

ok vdub2!

What kind of options do you have? I don't think there was a particular set of options that made a truck a "Laramie" but it would rule out a basic work truck, etc...

Mine says so right on the badge behind the front doors.

Pictures of the truck would help, both interior and exterior.

omg you guys.


There is no such thing as a Laramie in the 2nd gen bodystyle. The Laramie trucks did not show up until 2003 when the SLT+ was removed.

All Rams are either WS, ST, or SLT. WS has black bumpers and no options, ST has chrome and some options, but no trim level badge, and SLT has anywhere from little options to full out loaded. (like mine)

The Laramie SLT is just a name plate, there is ZERO mention of a "Laramie" package in any literature. Now, the SLT+ came out around 2000, THAT is about as close to a Laramie as you can get as the SLT+ carried over into the new body style, then it was changed into the Laramie for 2003.

Mine is a 96.

The "Laramie" designation was for the up-scale option package.
