Dodge Ram trucks: Pricing for 2015 Rebel, Laramie Limited revealed

Dodge's Ram Truck brand has announced pricing on its tricked-out 1500 Rebel and 1500 Laramie Limited models, trucks that continue the trend away from the utilitarian roots of pickups and toward more tricked-out, luxury vehicles.

Ram pickup trucks are on display on the lot at Landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM in Morrow, Ga.

Pickups have evolved so far beyond their utilitarian roots, it's tough to remember how bare-bones they used to be. Can you find a cloth-seat, single-cab stripper with AM/FM? It'll be akin to finding a 10th-grader who drive stick: They're out there, but awfully rare.

On that note, Ram Truck has announced pricing on its tricked-out 1500 Rebel and 1500 Laramie Limited models.

With its rugged exterior—17-inch alloy wheels, Toyo Open Country A/Ts, robust fender flares, imposing black grille—the 1500 Rebel looks like a Raptor challenger,even if the mechanical upgrades are modest. 4x2 models packing the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 start at $43,985, while opting for the 4x4 drivetrain will raise the opening bid to $47,965. Models sporting the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6—only available in 4x4—begin at $45,915.

1500 Laramie Limited models trade the Rebel's burly interior accents—the tread pattern on its seat inserts match the truck's actual rubber—for the traditional wood and leather route, and cabin's highlighted with pinstriping and stitched accents. Ram says the cabin reflects the model's "black tie" placement in its lineup, though given the target market, we think "bolo tie" fits better.

The V-6 isn't available on Laramie Limited models, but buyers can select the Ram's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. Laramie Limited 4x2 models with the diesel start at $54,990, and 4x4 trucks at $58,495. Those who can't resist being able to say "yup, it's got a HEMI," will fork over $51,890 for 4x2 versions, and $55,375 to get the 4x4. All prices include the destination charge.  

Of course, any flavor Ram would be perfect for the red carpet at the Grand Ole' Opry—even if the prices are climbing into registers the singers might have trouble hitting.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
