Limited vs Laramie

[greenlawnracing]

I'm assuming this has been beat to death, and I'm hoping for some new member forgiveness.

After driving the same truck since 2005, I'm thinking it might be time to upgrade.

I'm pretty sold on the 5th Gen Ram, and want a fair amount of creature comforts. Adaptive Cruise is a must have.

Wanted to buy this locally, but couldn't come to terms this evening:

A quick search shows that I can get something similar in TX, where they have a better doc fee. I do love the look of the body colored grill on this optioned out Laramie....but what am I giving up?

As far as what you get with either one both are good choices in my opinion. The only turn off for me would be neither one has a 3.92 rear end. But if you can do without on that account pick what you like.

Make a trip to McKinney, Tx tomorrow and take a look at this one or others like it.

For your travels, you’ll get a lifetime power train warranty and excellent service.

You’ll have to check the options on both because you can load up a Laramie with options and have similar features. What you’ll get beyond that with the Limited is the leather on the seats are upgraded, and every soft covering on the Limited is leather. The dash, the doors,etc. Then you get real wood on the console and the glove compartment. It’s luxury on top of luxury. Features (gadgets and such) can be bought on the Laramie to make it feature for feature with the Limited. Www.cars.com labeled the Limited as the luxury car of 2020.

Dont ponder too long as the 2020's are going fast.

Your best deals will be had tomorrow and Monday as January 4th is the end of quarter and end of year for 2020 new car sales.

Both can be had with a 3.92 btw.

This one had the off road package. Usually not put on a Limited. It won’t have the air suspension so not quite as nice of a ride, but with the off road group and those tires, might look pretty sharp.

After owning the MFT for a while now, I can honestly say, I would be very unhappy if I did not get it.

I got a Laramie because the Limited is only available as CC with E-Torque, and I wanted neither.

However, I ordered mine so I was able to pick whatever I wanted for options (well, within their somewhat restrictive matrix). I'm done picking vehicles off a lot - always compromises.

 

[runamuck]

I got a laramie because that's the lowest trim level you can get leather and many of the things I like to have..it's a personal thing, but I didnt like the front end of the limited as much as the laramie. I dont want the e-motor stuff and didnt need the air ride or auto deploying running boards. we also have a nice Infiniti to drive so needed the truck mostly for towing our trailer and doing truck stuff like runs to HD and ski trips in the mountains. laramies are pretty nice and my GM buddies always compliment me on my truck when they bum a ride. they were amazed at the "reclining" back seats and of course theirs dont have rear air..you will like either model.

Oh, ditto! I think the limited fascia looks a bit prissy. It's a truck, not a jewelry box.

Or this one - 3.92 gears and 33 gallon tank with a 5.7 hemi.

I have a Laramie Longhorn Edition which is completely comparable to a Limited, it is just a question of style. They have different grills and the Longhorn has a Western flair for its leather and wood trim as opposed to the "sophisticated" look of the Limited - I definitely prefer the Longhorn look. Mine does have the 3.92 (option on both) and I have the eTorque which I knew little about when I bought it (it was a used 2020 so I got what was on it) but have been very happy with it. The limited used of hybrid technology makes for very smooth startups and shifts (and maybe it helps with gas mileage but hard to tell).

When I bought my 2019 Laramie I had to travel from SC to Fla to get what I wanted. Looked at many Limiteds but chose this particular Laramie mainly because: 1. All the Limiteds I looked at were 4wd and I didn’t want that. 2. The Limiteds all had 12” screens which were distracting IMO and FCA was having supply and technical problems with them at that time early in the production year. 3. The upgraded finishing touches weren’t worth the $8k price increase. Highly recommend the air suspension as the ride is incredible even when towing.

Air suspension is standard on Limited, but hard to come by on Laramie...correct?

 

[HEMIMANN]

I went Laramie for same reason - customizable.

Unless you can't get an option on Laramie you really want that's only on Limited. Only thing I would have done different is Laramie Longhorn. I really like those, but couldn't find one configured toward what I wanted without a big ordering hassle, which I've been through too many times to do again.

I don't know, I kind of like my prissy jewelry box.

 

[LegionRider]

The Laramie with the remote trunk release and rear seat pass through my become a collector truck, possibly even a one-of-kind.

All Limited models have air suspension, even if it has the off-road group.

You're right about the CC part, but etorque is an option on Limited, just like every other trim level. I have a 2020 Limited sitting in my garage with a non-etorque hemi.
