That's all a matter of personal preference. How many bells and whistles do you want? How much money do you have to spend? Do you plan to tow? Yes, tow. All those options add up and reduce payload. There are countless threads bewailing the fact that by the time they add a hitch and four or five passengers, there's nothing left for the trailer!

As others said, it all depends on your preference, especially the interior.
My take: the Limited has the nicest grille, while the Longhorn has the nicest interior. Others will have a different take.
Aside from cosmetics (Night Edition, interior color), there’s nothing I know of that’s available on the Limited that you can’t get on the Longhorn.
However, a fully loaded Longhorn will end up a grand or two more expensive than a fully loaded Limited, in large part because some standard features on the Limited (Hemi and air suspension, in particular) are options on the the Longhorn. On a $70K truck, is $1-2K enough to sway you towards your second favorite, if that is the case?
For me, I specifically did not want air suspension, so that made the Longhorn an easy choice (note, Limited is available without air suspension in Canada). But it was already my first choice, and since I ordered mine rather than picked off the lot, no reason not to get it.
That was my decision; base yours on what you like best visually, as they are otherwise about identical.

Follow up to the above: Based on 2022 pricing, if you want *all* the following features, the Limited ends up being about $1,400 less expensive (as these are standard on the Limited). If you'd rather not have any one of these features, the Longhorn ends up the better buy:
Once you hit $65-80K, is $1,400 or less a significant factor?
- Air suspension
- Hemi
- 12" UConnect 5

Not loaded, it doesn't.
I prefer the wheels, grille, and interior trim of the Longhorn. It fits nicely here in Texas (and actually gets noticed a lot when we're up in Michigan). But as others have said, it's only a matter of preference.

It was limited for me, longhorn is nice but the all tan interior is a bit much for me.
