Hey Booze Daily, not to change the subject, but what kind of tires do you have on your Lariat? I have Michelins with no white lettering and the same rims, but mine is a KR.

Goodyear Wrangler 275/55R20 - I asked earlier but never got a response about the tire difference but I think it's a 4x4, 4x2 thing.

Maybe Ram thinks it is 20 years ago when diesel was less the regular. Then their "math" would make sense.

they also brag the ram 3500 single cab dually can tow 33,000lbs and complains the weight is more than the ford f350

Now on the other hand....this Chevy Colorado business. Are you kidding me? And that Nissan Titan. Oh. My. God.
The Laramie Longhorn is a beautiful truck, but I would take the KR if I had the choice.

I may be biased since I have one, but I would take the Lariat over the Laramie Longhorn. For comparison purposes I think they are priced the same. I believe the King Ranch is more expensive, MSRP.
