Just to be clear, and maybe it's the way you phrased it, but the sunroof, ramboxes, MFT and HUD are not standard Limited features, and could have been added to most if not all trim levels for the 2021 MY. Also I'm glad you're happy with your Laramie, but you cannot option one up to a Limited level when ordering new. And when maxing out a Laramie you'd be getting pretty close to the Limited price range if not at that. The only benefit I can see from that is you wouldn't be getting the leather covered dash that so many people have had issues with.I ordered my Laramie and optioned it up to a Limited level..
I didn't want the Sunroof, RAM Boxes, MFT Tailgate or the Heads up Display that just came out.
The only thing else from the Limited would have been the Projector Headlights and rear vented seats.
If I could have ordered it with an 8; bed and 50 Gal Diesel tank would have been perfect for me.

You'll likely take a hit on resale, as a loaded up Laramie won't book out for what a low Limited will.I ordered my Laramie and optioned it up to a Limited level..

I've had both, the Limited is worth it IMO...
Trucks seem to be excluded from the depreciate faster thing.I think discussions of resale based on trim and options are a bit hyped. Anyone with common sense who is looking for a used car and truck will largely make the decision on miles and condition (including service history) at a given price point. Yes, certain options may make a truck more or less desirable but is also true that luxury cars and trucks tend to depreciate faster (a sign of market demand for the product) due to, among other factors, the perceived risk that toys can fail as vehicles age and add considerably to the repair cost.
Wow what's Open Pilot? My GV80 has the stuff where it drives itself but this sounds even better. But yeah if you option up a Laramie then might as well get a LTD. A/S in Gen 5s is apparently way more durable and reliable than Gen 4.
Which Leer topper is that? It doesn't look like the 122 or the 180.I didn't like the Grill, Fake Wood, or the extra Stitching.
I also didn't buy it for resale. I still have my 2008 Big Horn with 175K miles on it.

A Limited will have a better resale value than a Laramie even if no other reason except the trim.

Thanks for the update. I had a 122 on my 3500 dually, but it didn't look like yours, it was more boxy. I have the 180 on my 6'4" bed and I can barely reach to put my kayak up there, so I am fine with slightly less storage, although I still smack my back occasionally thinking I still have the taller version.It is a LEER 122 for a 6'-4" bed. I got it at the LEER Factory Outlet in Milton PA. Saved about $800
from the Local Dealer and he said they didn't make a 122 model for my Truck. Called the factory,
and wouldn't you know it, they DID!
I am also running a comma3 OpenPilot. Accumulated over 22K miles with it driving the Truck

I'd be curious to compare the original MSRP of both trucks. Do you have the VIN's for them?Just for comparison I compared the following private party resell values on KBB. Both were 2021 with 20000 miles in very good condition. The only difference was in the options selected
1. Limited: Standard Limited with no options selected - $49,577
2. Laramie: Standard 4x4 Laramie with Laramie level B package - $43,878

I think he just did a KBB used price assessment. MSRPs would likely be very close (you can build a Laramie that stickers for more than a Limited)...I'd be curious to compare the original MSRP of both trucks. Do you have the VIN's for them?
Options sure add up quick!This is my base before Options:
2021 RAM 1500 LARAMIE CREW CAB 4X4 - DT6P91 $47,830
with all my options $71,155

The 2021 fully loaded Limited I had (Tech group, BUG, Night Edition, Level 1, sunroof, MFT, Rambox, 33 gallon tank) stickered only $4k over that.This is my base before Options:

Unless you get every single option you can equip an Laramie and a Limited almost identical including stuff like air suspension.The 2021 fully loaded Limited I had (Tech group, BUG, Night Edition, Level 1, sunroof, MFT, Rambox, 33 gallon tank) stickered only $4k over that.
