Things you can't get on a Big Horn vs Laramie

I'm trying to decide between a heavily optioned Big Horn vs Laramie. Both would be 5-seater HEMI, 3.21, 4x4 with 5’7” box, plus tow package, 33 gal tank, bed utility, RamBox, MFT

I wanna see if I'm overlooking something.. What are features that you just can't get on Big Horn trim that are available on Laramie? So far, I've got...

- 19 speaker audio (don't care, 9 speaker enough)
- leather trimmed seats
- advanced safety (adaptive cruise & fwd collision)
- 22" wheels (don't want em)
- two-tone paint

What else?

I believe the Laramie has some extra interior lighting in the footwells and such Fender Flares, leather dash. I was the same way when buying but ended up with a loaded big horn, I'm not big on leather anyway. The dash still looks pretty nice and is probably more durable in the long run without the leather.

If you want leather seats; then get a Laramie. You will probably find a better deal on a Laramie than on a high optioned Big Horn. I looked at Big Horns myself, but once I added options I decided to go Laramie and found one on the lot that I wanted.

Are those differences not enough? :D Just kidding.
I looked at a couple of Big Horns when I was shopping for a 5th gen, but opted for a Laramie. The biggest deal breaker was that I couldn't get ventilated seats on the Big Horn. If I had to chose between heated or cooled seats, I'd take cooled seats every time. I live in a colder climate, but rarely use the heated seats. The leather trimmed seats are pretty nice as well. Don't really care about the other differences, and don't have them on my Laramie.

Heated and Cooled seats are a BIG plus. I use both. BTW heated seats are good to relieve back pain; not just for warming your rear.

@Biga how about the rear seats in your Big Horn... Are they the 60/40 folding/recline seats mentioned in the Laramie equipment?

(Assuming you have a Crew Cab)

No I forgot, you don't get the reclining seat in the Big Horn.

KeepOnTrucking, in your first post, you mentioned "tow package." I just wanted to tell you, in case you didn't realize it, that the tow package deletes the power folding mirrors feature as well as the 360 view cameras. You can opt for just the trailer brake controller rather than the whole tow package and keep the power fold mirrors with cameras.

Thanks. How are the standard mirrors for towing?. I got a travel trailer for camping... About 25ft long.
