Why do they insist on 22” rims on limited?

[MS Delta]

Currently looking to purchase a new truck in the next 2 weeks. Why does limited trim force you to get 22” rims!? What (if anything) is the benefit? I don’t get it - is it simply for the aesthetics?

aesthetics. Ford does the same on their 150 Limited..
Probably GMC does it on the Denali as well

Well said, agreed.

The limited is their luxury trim...
The way I see it is that the limited trim is more of a "pretty thing" rather than a hauler. Don't get me wrong, I love the limited for all it is, including those 22 inch rims, but it definately feels less utilitarian than the lower trims. It is all about the luxury, and the image of being so.

It's called a Limited for a reason lol

Is this only for 2025?

Just did a build for a 2024 and 20” rims were an option. I realize 2024’s can no longer be ordered but wanted to see if anything but 22” rims were available and it appeared they were.

I agree 22’s look nice but if you do any off-roading they’re pretty much worthless. They’d be trashed in no time with stock tires and that super short sidewall.

Probably only a handful of owners that would take their limited “offroad”. Most are just luxury driven trucks. Those that do well they would general drop down in rim size and upsize tire size.

My 2023 limited is my luxury car with a bed, ram boxes, and a trailer hitch. Off roading doesn’t cross my mind. 4x4 is for when it snows.

I really, really like my 22” rims. If I wanted to off road I’d do it in a UTV, Jeep, or buy a lower trim level without all the premium interior, etc.

As others have said, this is my pretty ride..

Same with Laramie Sport with the night edition, it only comes with 22's. For a while you could add the offroad backage and get 20's but I'm not sure you can do that anymore.

Aesthetics. As everyone said. It just works on that truck. I don't like that look but I will say, they got it right.

If you order a 2024 Laramie, you can order it with what you'd like and it'll have most comfort creatures you like with 20" wheels

The first thing I did when I got my truck was get rid of the 22s for 20s. The stock Limited wheels were hideous.

ORP limited is 20", as that's how mine was optioned, plus Longhorn.

My 2025 Limited is ordered with the 20S " .

For all 5th gens up through 2024, base wheel size for a Limited has been 20". It's the option packages that change the wheel size to 22" (such as Night Edition). I have no idea for '25 since I haven't looked into ordering one. @Pikeman_66 said he orded a '25 Limited with 20's so it seems to be continuing to the current model year 1500's...

I think previous year dealer orders may be driving this. On my 2023 Limited 20 inch wheels were standard, but every dealer in my area had ordered the $2000+ 22 inch wheel option.

An 18 inch rim with taller sidewall tires will provide a much better ride. Also, the tire pressure will not fluctuate as much between cold and warm days.

I agree with you, When I was looking for a specific truck on the lots for a 24 1500 limited all the window stickers had the expensive wheel upgrade and or a appearance package that this old fart can't stand, bumpers are meant to be chrome (lol). I just don't need them to pull my boat around on the weekends. so, I ordered a 25 instead because I am that picky if it isn't configured the exact way that I want it I will never like it.

I do not know if the 20s for 2025 are those same ones or not I haven't been able to completely nail that down and I have seen conflicting info on this for 2025.

those 22's gotta ride like crap. Even the 20 inch Bridgestone stock tires ride rough.
