Out of those two I'd say Platinum. I personally like the "pimp panel" and wish I could get one for my FX4.

Also the people who complain about the Platinum being gaudy compared to the Limited must need glasses.

It is nice to have just a little bling. That "pimp panel" really blends well on the ingot silver platinum..

Get the limited and have the dealer swap the platinum wheels over.

I wish you could get the Limited wheels w/o the white. Those in all polished aluminum would be KA. They would be perfect for the Platinum.

i like the limited better lol. or swap tailgates to get rid of that "pimp panel" on the platinum. That's the one thing I can't stand about it

I think beyond looks you need to figure performance. The limited is awd with the 6.2. The platinum is a 5.0 with traditional four wheel drive. You'll need the max tow package to get the 6.2 in it.

I bought an awd limited and love it so far. The awd system is great. Got me through some terrible weather lately.

Both are great trucks!

Both are great trucks. I like the Limited (but I am biased because I have one). What sealed the deal for me is I hated the tailgate and the grandpa wood trim in the interior on the platinum, but chalk that up to personal preference. Whatever you get, get the 6.2 because it rocks.

I have the Limited and love it, although the Platinum is great too.

I would personally stick with my Limited because you just don't see a whole lot of them on the road. The platinum is everywhere.

What would be so bad about traditional 4wd? it's just like awd, but you get low range also!
Both trucks offer the 6.2 and 4x4 with 3.73 gears in a screw w/ 5.5ft bed. I didn't see any other wheels offered for the limited when i built it...
