2014 Big Horn to 2019 Laramie.

While I love my new truck I wish I had the the $3000 back for the sunroof and air ride. While both features are nice I just won't use them enough to justify the cost.

My 14 had the standard suspension and I added Bilstein 5100s all the way around. It rode very nice, almost as good as the air ride.

I must admit I do love the interior and all the new features I got by bumping up to a Laramie...but let's not forget my 14 Big Horn was $10k less than my new rig.

Well...5 years of inflation, and a better truck.

Does that 10k include the air and sunroof? If so, there's really no upcharge at all.

That was in part my point. Save the 3k in those options.

My '19 Laramie is a whole lot nicer than my '08 Bighorn!
It's my favorite truck so far...

The funny part is if it were solely my wife and myself ( next year ) I would have purchased a 2018 Limited 1500...

I traded up from a Fusion to a 19 Laramie so yeah lol its worth it. I know its not apples to apples. Actually before my Fusion I had a 2nd gen 12valve CTD, so im very glad to come back to Dodge. The fords are a dime a dozen anyways.

2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Blackout edition,Hemi 5.7 etorque
I traded up from a 2008 HHR SS, fun little car, but too stiff of a suspension for these Michigan potholed roads, so I am loving my 2019 Laramie black edition ! The only problem is I kept the car to keep the mileage down on the Ram, I am going to have a hard giving up luxury and drive a stick again! :(
