Headlights only received a marginal rating which I assume are the crappy halogens as my LEDs are awesome.

Actually, the LED projectors on the Limited are what brought the average down.. As the halogen reflectors and led reflectors of the lower trims had better results, resulting in a "Moderate" rating, to the LED projectors getting a "Poor" rating.

Interesting, didn't see any specifics. I know the LEDs in my Ram are far superior to the ones I had in my 2016 F150.

I find it funny the only issue that they had with the LEDs projectors was excessive glare, yet gave it a poor rating.

Sounds a bit picky to me with the low beam "Glare" lol. I think they are great and far superior to my 2015 projectors.

the LED headlights are far superior to any I've had on any previous truck (Ram/Titan)
