2015
Year Model,
LIMITED
Package
RAM
H/Duty trucks, 2500 Series and 3500 Series:
(Remember,
to tell the actual Year Model of the Ram you are considering to purchase, check the tenth digit of the vehicle’s
17 digit VIN [Vehicle Identification Number]. 2015 Year Models will be an ‘F’. If it is a ‘E’, it is a 2014 Year
Model, a ‘D’ means a 2013 Year Model. An example of a typical 2014 Year Model Ram’s VIN is:
3C6UR1FL2FG123456. You see, the 10th (tenth) digit along that VIN
number is an ‘F’, designating it as a genuine 2015 Year Model)

2015 Year Model
LIMITED Package,
Features:
(2FM
Package – 2500 Series)
(28M
Package – 3500 Series)
The 2015
Limited has basically everything the Laramie Package has, plus the
following that the Laramie does not have as standard features (briefly noted here, scroll down for more
detail and a complete feature listing):
·
All Limited’s have the RamBox® as standard on all Shortbed S.R.W./Single Rear Wheels (this
can be deleted in the options). Not available with
Longbed’s or D.R.W. Package/Dually’s. (approx’ US$1,295 option on the Laramie)
·
All Limited’s are 5 seater’s only (approx’ US$500 option on the Laramie)
·
All Limited’s have the Black (actually Dark Grey with light coloured piping on the seats)
interior only
·
All Limited’s have monotone exterior paint and front and rear Chrome bumpers as standard (the 2-tone
paint cannot be optioned) and have 6 different exterior colours available
·
All Limited’s have Premium full leather interiors
·
All Limited’s have the unique Limited badging, and saddlebags on the back of the front seats, plus

the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel. The included control lever can activate the trailer
brakes independent of the truck’s brakes. Stopping power is upped further by a wide brake pad surface area,
and large brake pistons and calipers. Bigger brakes also mean longer intervals between brake jobs and less
time and money spent in the shop. Additionally, a standard integrated diesel exhaust brake reduces brake
fade and prolongs brake life. This panel-mounted display gives you greater control and towing confidence.
Customize it to increase or decrease the trailer brake pressure, depending on your load weight through the
drivers Electronic Vehicle Information Centre (EVIC)
