Laramie without level 1 or 2

[Danger]

Hey all,
I’m looking at ordering a 2020 Laramie crew cab and have it all figured out with the exception of do I want the Level 1 option. Anyone get a Laramie without level 1 or 2?

• 2nd-Row In-Floor Storage Bins. (I think this is standard anyway)
• Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control (I’m mostly on highways)
• Blind-Spot and Cross-Path Detection. (This is the one thing on the list that I would want)
• Foam Bottle Insert (Door Trim Panel). (Why)
• ParkSense® Front and Rear Park-Assist with Stop (I live in Alaska and truck will always be dirty)
• Rain-Sensitive Windshield Wipers
• Remote Tailgate-Release. (Cool but why)
• Rear 60 / 40 Folding Split Recline Seat (don’t need)
• Tailgate Ajar Warning Lamp (who cares)

I have a 2019 Laramie with no packages and I'm pretty happy with how it's put together. The only thing I miss is parking sensors, but other than that I have everything I need. Front heated/ventilated seats and the leather/alcantera was what sold me on this truck. I did not want the "safety features" blind spot, active breaking, etc. I feel like those are all distractions and always have turned them off in every car I've driven with them.

I have a Laramie that I picked out and I didn’t want anything extra. I started out driving tractor trailers so maneuvering around with this isn’t an issue. Also I really and I mean really did not want to PAY extra to have issues.

But man, oh man, you’ve paid extra in other ways

 

[PorBoy]

Oh yes lol that’s how it is with all of my vehicles. I put in what I want to keep me from swapping vehicles every other year.

I have a Laramie without level 1 or 2 packages. It also has the bench seats in front which helps with legroom. My must haves were Leather/ passive entry / heated seats and steering...I got all those with the basic Laramie. I kinda miss some of the features like the park sensors, rain sense wipers and auto-headlights but not enough to make it a deal breaker.

Now see my only wants were bench seats, 3.92 gears, and 4x4. I knew I would be adding all that makes me feel the truck mine ha ha ha.

I came from a loaded big horn so this laramie is missing a few things from that truck. Parking sensors, Bed lighting, Console, rear under seat storage. But I felt that getting the Laramie looks with the Laramie interior + ventilated seats was more important to me than the few extras I was giving up. If you want a loaded truck that parks itself for you and slams the brakes on every time a leaf blows up behind you while backing out of the driveway than you don't want a stripped truck. Otherwise, this truck has more than I really need.

As a side note, I had a stripped tradesmen for a loaner for almost a week once and I thought after day 2 that I was almost happier in that truck without all the bells and whistles.

Just my 2 cents...

I wouldn't get a TRUCK without those features... BSMS and park assist are a must today.

I just wonder what you all paid for a plain Laramie .

Mines a lease, but sticker was $52k could have bought it for $41k and this was in jan of 2019 before all the major discounts hit. It was cheaper than almost all the big horns they had on the lot as most were fairly loaded.

 

[MannymanX]

Mine is a pretty loaded BigHorn(5.7l + eTorque, 8.4 with NAV, Alpine, Console, BSMS, CrossPath, Park assist, etc.) it was $54,500 and I got it for $38,500

I was looking at buying a Laramie without either equipment group. But the price difference wasn't enough for me to do without most of the things you seem to not care about. Now I'm glad I bought one with it. I like and have used everything included in the level 1 group (foam bottle insert included) except for the tailgate ajar warning lamp. It would stay on even with the tailgate closed when I first got the truck. Seems to be fine now.

It's your money and your truck. So in the end only you can make that call. Based on your comments to the features included in group 1, you should be asking yourself if you can do without the blind-spot and cross-path detection or not. And whether or not it's worth the extra $1700 (approx).

My crew Laramie ivory pearl sport with 6.4 bed, hemi e torque , level one with buckets and 8.4 nav, limited slip, trailer brake , 42,000 with 0% for 60. Sticker was 56,300, i did look at a big horn, but i had a 16 Laramie and didnt want to loose the options that i was used to.

 

[rlc2020]

on a side note, my truck did come with the foam bottle inserts even though it wasn't supposed too. Score for me.

Took my truck in for tailgate ajar warning on dash not working. Has not work sense new. nov-2019. service rep found a star case for this issue, Chrysler is aware of this issue and engineering is working on a fix

When you order, and take delivery (who knows when that will be with the plants closed), don't forget the $250 rebate from "Bonus Drive". Google it. Hundreds of forum members have received it, takes 6-8 weeks, no spamming. Obviously look around at dealer inventories of that truck. You might get a level 1 for the same price as one you ordered, just sayin'...
