Yeah Ram should have made the LED reflector the standard headlight. Optioned the adaptive LED's on the Laramie and made them the standard on the Limited. The Led reflectors in the Laramie are much better than the LED projectors I had in my GMC. I want to say IIHS gave the GMC LED projector a marginal back in 2016.I'm assuming they tested the low-end halogen headlights? I couldn't be happier with the Limited lights and no way could they not score them highly.

Interesting data points on the headlight test towards the bottom of the full report.
Turns out the Limited & Longhorn LEDs scored far worse than the other headlights. Glare seems to be the main factor. Low beam distance blew away the other trim levels though. "1000% over glare threshold" seems a bit over the top.
Has anyone had any issues with glare from the biLEDs?

Do the pre-July trucks really have cab mount issues? First I heard of this.
Regarding the roof strength test, I'm curious if the tested truck has the sunroof or not.
Trucktrend recently compared headlights in the pickupt truck of the year competittion.

They specifically mention Ford and GMC as having bad glare, and that the Ram limiteds were their favorite.
