the problem with leather is that Chrysler Corp loves to stick plastic all over what they call leather. I have what is obvious vinyl cracking on the wife's Grand Caravan R/T that they claimed was leather seating. Give me cloth over vinyl.
I had that in my laramie and did end up recovering the drivers seat bottom from wear, but was still my favorite material because I just wiped them off with a damp cloth. My limited has real leather and it's perforated so it's still easier to clean then cloth, but not as easy as my laramie was.My past cloth seat trucks were a pain to clean, although the material was good and stains came out fairly easily with a carpet cleaner and a lot dustier in the cab.
stock, some Rams doesn't have wheel liners, so adding them to protect for sure.
If they were bulbs it wouldn't be a problem. On the oe ones is the light goes out you have to replace the entire fixture. My neighbor has already replaced 1 headlight and 1 tail light on his 2017. The headlight was warranty, but the tail light cost him $500. Headlight would have been around the same. That's just parts. No labor.Rear wheelhouse liners are plastic liners which protect the inner wheel well for the rear wheels. They used to be standard, but for some reason they are now an option for all trim levels except apparently for Longhorn and Limited models. Since I was shopping for a Rebel or a Laramie I wanted to make sure to have those on the truck I was looking for. They aren't very expensive to add later, and only a small pain to install yourself, so they weren't a deal breaker.
I notice a huge difference between the halogen projector headlights I had on my 2017 Rebel, and the LED's on my new Laramie. Definitely worth upgrading if you're thinking about a Big Horn. They're standard on the Rebel and Laramie so I only needed to worry about those when I was looking at Big Horn models.
I used to make fun of people who wanted heated steering wheels. But now I understand why people like them. In fact, if I had to choose btwn heated seats OR heated steering wheel, I'd chose the steering wheel. And I like the other "crap" I had to get in order to have it.
I haven't driven a 5th gen with halogens, so I'm not exactly comparing apples to apples. But I had two different 4th gens with them. One had halogen reflector housings and one had halogen projector housings. Both sucked about equally. I drove my daughter's 2019 Rebel when she first got it (LED housings), and the difference between hers and what I had at the time was literally night and day. That's why I wanted LED's. Sure, for now LED bulbs cost more, but like all new tech, that will pass as they become more mainstream.
Not an issue for me since I only keep my vehicles until the warranty expires, but I can see how it would be a problem for anyone who keeps them longer. That's a poor design then if you have to replace the entire housing. I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the clarification.
I put the Katzkin leather in my Lone Star. Absolutely worth every penny. Has no adverse effect on the heated seats.
those look great!!
they dont do a thing the 3.21 has problems in my 2010 then was tested broke a nut think had it redone but I went to 292 and lost maybe 1/2 a mile per gallon and I tow so much better ! even 3.55 be better ok !
No room to walk in front or behind the current ride, I park on the right side and the doors are on the left, so no big deal.
Thank you!
