Ya I understand what your saying but you can individually use the side camera and adjust the viewing angle via the 12 inch screen.
Laramaie gets leather trimmed seats, not all leather. Looks like all leather though, and they are comfortable. I traded a loaded 18 2500 Laramie on my 22 Limited Longhorn 2500, and the seats are nice in both trucks.
The factory camera I mentioned above is always on while driving also. Screen is your rearview mirror.
Same. We've owned a few vehicles with painted bumpers or painted plastic wrapped bumpers. They all turn ugly over time. I did the 3M thing on one, but even that gets permanently fouled by bugs over time. Called my buddy who owns a body shop and visited with him about it also. He said it would be about $2k to fix one that dinged up from rock chips, etc. He said "If it were me, I'd get the chrome.". I went chrome on my new truck.
It's hard for me to believe that is very useful. If I put on a signal to make a lane change or go around the corner, I'm looking that direction, not down at the screen. Taking my eyes off the road to check the screen while making a turn would not add to safety, IMO. Just another feature I would turn off.
All these features help add cost to the consumers price and are essential for lazy Americans who need the best of the best. More features please me me me I deserve it along with a trophy. Sad what my generation has created in this country.
I know right? All these fancy cars with their electronic starters and automatic choke! All you need is a big crank on the front of the engine and a lever to adjust the air/fuel ratio!
Of course you don't *need* 4 cameras, but it sure does make parking in tight spaces and self-spotting off road easier. I also don't need connectivity to text me when I need an oil change, but having that same connectivity to remote start my truck while I'm waiting for my bag to come out at the airport and it's snowing outside sure is nice, and If I managed a fleet of trucks it would be nice to know when one needs an oil change (it's the same system). I (and everyone else) don't need any of the luxury or convenience features of any vehicle, but we're not buying those features because we need them, we're buying them because we want them. Just because you don't want something doesn't make it bad. If you want to buy a stripped out vinyl floored vinyl seated Tradesman you can do that, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with not wanting a uhaul-spec truck.
