For me, it's easily the remote start through mobile/app. I have remote start from the key fob but I'm not always parked close enough to use it from inside. Not worth paying for navigation that I don't use just for that option though.

Otherwise, would like to upgrade from quad to crew cab eventually, but for now, living in the city, I'd rather have the extra bed space than back row space.

I would have wanted the 33 gallon tank & power step. Hmmm, more toys for me to buy lol.

That's interesting that a lot of people want the 33 gallon tank. I debated over it and opted not to get it. My thought was yes, less filling up, but when you do, a full tank would cost you nearly $100 ($3/gallon) and it would lower the payload and towing ability with the added weight of the gasoline now on board. I only drive 1 mile to work and fill up my current trucks once a month, 2 time is Max. So I didn't see the bennefit if the added weight, fill up cost and the savings on gas fillups to justify the +$445 cost if the tank. It would take a lot of fill up Savinga to cover that price. Figure 7 gallons more only for $445

^^^. Trust me I fully get that and as someone who is retired I don’t drive near as much as I used to. But when I do take it on trips I don’t want to stop every 350 miles to fill it up for a 500 mile trip lol..

I'm with ya on the trips PorBoy, It's nice to top up the 33 gal tank and have some range, Had the big tank on my F-150 so I knew I wanted the higher capacity tank. Comes in really nice when you have a trailer behind you as well, when that MPG goes to crap you need that extra fuel to stay on the road instead of at the pump.

I would have got the upgraded speaker option. Unfortunately, I couldn’t wait for the perfect truck to roll along.

Larger fuel tank for sure. Maybe the big horn lvl 2 (miss the heated seats in the Canadian winters), but got such a smoking deal for the truck off the lot.

Maybe someone aftermarket like Titan fuel tanks will make an option.

Adaptive cruise..... I had it in my last car and it's in my wife's car. It really makes for a relaxing drive on the highway.

Totally agree, once you learn to stop riding behind those 55mph drivers on a 70mph highway.

Have a base Laramie I am very happy with. The only thing I really wish I had is reclining ventilated rear seats. Does anyone know if there is a mod or way to convert stationary rear seats to reclining?

Wish the came with the hard, thick rubber bed mats. The spray in is better than the drop in, but I anticipate it will hold a TON of beach sand. My Avalanche has the thick rubber bedmat and it's great. Soft on the knees, durable, and cleans out easily.
