Owned a 25 SO just got a 26 HO

Just wanted to share a bit of experience after having the SO Laramie for about a year and recently trading it in on an HO Limited. Both have the 3.92 gears. What i will say is that the SO throttle was very touchy. What i mean is that when i wanted to get off the line just a little quicker than a regular green light, most of the time i'd end up whip lashing myself and passengers because the damn thing would just instant slam you back and go. The HO, wether because of the tuning or the engine, or whatever, seems like theres a lot more variance. I can still do the neck snapping by putting the pedal down far, but if i just want say a brisk launch, its so much smoother and easier to do in the HO than the SO.

Awesome ride. Good luck with it

Nice truck. Major props for parking that monster in the garage. Tight squeeze.

I'd love to find someone who has had extensive use of the SO and the HO to hear their thoughts. Searching all around the internet it seems people usually have experience with one and not the other.

To me around town, even though both trucks have the 3.92, the SO felt like it was much snappier from a stop. I'm not sure if thats the larger turbo's of the HO taking some time to get going or exactly what, but to my butt dyno, the SO seemed and bit more eager to get up and go than the HO.

I actually only ever parked the Laramie in backwards because its not only a tight squeeze but there is also a outside water spigot right in the center of the front grill on that wall to make it even more challenging! I was always too scared i'd get too close to it and put a hole in my grill, but the Limited with the 360 view cameras make it easy peasy to lock in on the spigot and get right up to an inch or so away from it every time no problem. Love that! The downside of parking it in reverse is that i was always worried about how much exhaust i'd be getting into the house, so i'd always try to get it out of the garage ASAP after startup, and now this way i can even remote start on these -15 degree days without having to pull it out first.
