Depends on what you plan to do with the truck. I want to tow with it so I like the idea of auto leveling. Reliability we will have to wait and see how that one goes. I would suggest weighing the pros and cons of each suspension and test drive both and go with the one you like more.

Spends too much time on here
Lots of threads discussing this topic. Obviously it’s completely subjective but if you want opinions for an imminent decision, I think you will find the answers there you’re looking for. IMO you can’t go wrong. Whatever you want is the right decision. Just get a good $$ deal, order what you want and you’ll be happy.

If you tow and are in the lower 48, meaning mild temps most of the year, the air ride is a great tool to have. If you plan on bigger tires or suspension mods, stick with steel coil. It's pretty much that easy to decide. Limited trucks only come with air ride, so keep that in mind as well.

I had air suspension in my last Laramie. I do not have it now. The ride quality is excellent without the air suspension and I never miss it for that reason. I also wanted the options of a possible leveling kit or small lift in the future. That option is not really available if you have air suspension. As others have said, if you tow a lot then I would probably get it. I have an Airstream that I tow about 4-6 times per year with a leveling hitch and I have no problems.
