I was looking at the upper trim levels, and bought a Tradesman again. Even the Tradesman has several different trims from the factory. I saw nothing in the Laramie or Limited that interested me except for braggin rights. And the payloads were too low. 800-1200 pounds less than my Tradesman.
I can do alot of travel for the $10,000 not spent on the Laramie or Limited trims. I can afford the upper trims, so that's not the issue. Even my new truck was more than my first house. And this possibly is my last truck.
I was kinda excited about the Android Auto, until I started to use it. Like many computer programs, it is just not as seamless or without annoying issues. I was hoping to be able to replace my RV GPS with a RV routing app. But found limitations as to what Android Auto will allow to be used. Which is why I was not interested in the GPS in the truck. Apparently they do not know what a 2500 or 3500 truck can pull and that some roads are to be avoided when doing so. Stand alone GPS units are just so much better than any in dash unit, and the phone apps can be slightly better with more current information.
What do the upper trims add to your experience once the newness wears off?
