Before I start my message, I should apologize that I never remember to take pictures.
This afternoon I was able to drive a Limited around, had almost everything. But, foremost, that fake wood actually looks good in real life. Secondly the extra leather really classes up the truck over a Laramie. The side steps (automatic) are slow, they kind of annoyed me and my friend, because you are already stepping out of the truck by the time are half deployed. We are both near 30 years old. The air suspension was okay. It did not feel that much better than the coil springs in the rear. On a flat road it made the truck drive live an old 80s Cadillac 'boat', but over rough spots it was weird, semi jarring, it is hard to explain. If I wanted a Limited would it deter me , no. If I was looking at it as an added option, the money cost would be more of the decision maker of it. But once again, that fake wood is really amazing in real life, I always thought it ugly and what not....The wood in the steering-wheel feels good and as though it is thinner than previous years. But over-all, this one did not have the 19 speakers H&K system, so I am assuming it is only the Alpine, and I could tell a big difference from the H&K system in a Laramie I drove. Well worth the $1,000s it basically adds into the add-on group. This one had the standard Limited wheels, which I actually prefer to the upgraded 22s.
This was the first 12" screen I had driven, and my friend said I looked like it was Christmas, the thing is amazing, once you set it up to how you like it. I would not get the large towing mirrors, they look weird on the smaller truck, and the standard ones are plenty large and designed for low drag. The cold rear seats are something, it is crazy. There was something else that stood out in a negative way, but I cannot remember it. Maybe no negative, but is impo....nevermind, lets talk about the self parking. I have now tried it on 3 different 1500s and maybe 11 times, and I have had it work proper twice, and two times try to back into a space, which another vehicle was parked in. I have read the manual, driven extremely close to the row of cars, and with space, different speeds and it seems to have some kink in the software. But when it works, it is something to watch, as you watch it through the 360 camera screen.
