So we got a 2018 3500 Laramie Longhorn Mega cab yesterday. Of course it has the shorter bed so I'll need a hitch with slides, but that's no problem. It's pretty much like the 1500 we had, but white/gold with a tan interior (which is nicer). Steering is a bit loose for my taste so we'll have that looked at. 124930 miles at purchase so it's been driven, but still in good shape. $62k for it. Things it needs: 1. power running boards (the solid mounts are just too close and high), 2. new front bumper (ranch hand or fab fours likely). I want to be able to hit the deer here and not worry about it, just shove them outta the way.
Anyway, I like the diesel power and am getting used to the wide butt. My wife will take some time getting used to it.
