The next vehicle I buy will largely be purchased based on how good the headlights are. After buying my 2017 Big Horn and dealing with the garbage headlights I will never make that mistake again!
That was my sentiment exactly. The LED headlights on my 2020 Laramie work great. Even better than the HID's on my Audi.
Agreed, but since adding my LED in mine, all good.
You must not care about oncoming drivers. LED's should only be used in headlight housings designed for LED's. If you think you're being safer you're not. You might be able to see better, but the other guy is being blinded by you. I realize that companies are getting better about designing them for halogen housings, and there are a select few that are close. But it's about filament size, shape, and alignment. Based on the pic you attached, it appears that you have a lot of light scatter above the cutoff. It would suck to have you behind me at night. LED's will never be an exact replacement in housings designed for halogen bulbs.
regarding fitting in your garage. Make sure you measure your available room, incluidng room to either walk in front or behind the truck once parked with the garage door down. Also, the Tradesman model with the regular cloth seats will have a pop-up center seat with consol flip down center. In the up position, it's a seat with seat-belt. Lots cheaper than a Bighorn, tons cheaper than Laramie.
The Tradesman is good value, and they actually have decent standard features. I had a 2015 Tradesman EcoDiesel, and it was great for what it was. But I quickly realized that I wanted some of the things the higher trim levels offer, and are not available on the Tradesman. Things like heated steering wheel and seats, power seats, full center console, automatic wipers, ventilated seats, larger cluster and uconnect displays.
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.
I think I would prefer a tradesman (don't like chrome over plastic), but no power seat option at that level. I need the power seats to fit in these trucks. I have a very long torso.
I have a Laramie, and I do not have chrome bumpers or grille. My truck has very little chrome in fact. Pretty much limited to the badges, wheels, and exhaust outlets. You don't have to settle for a Tradesman to avoid chrome.
I've heard people are having trouble with etorque so do some research about it
It's always helpful to do research on any purchase, especially a major purchase. I fully endorse that recommendation. But I don't think it's helpful when people post that they "heard people are having trouble with...", without knowing anything about it themselves. Sure people have reported problems with etorque. People have also reported having problems with pretty much every major system on these trucks (EcoDiesel, air suspension, sunroof, etc). I have etorque on my Laramie, and so far it's been flawless. I've only had the truck for six months, so it's not fair to deem it trouble-free. But if I have trouble with it I'll deal with it at that time. I didn't have a preference one way or the other about the etorque. Truck would have been cheaper without it, but since it checked all my boxes I was fine with having it.
