Laramie Packages Level 1 and F. - my thoughts....

[LegendaryLawman]

Been looking through window stickers since it isn't super clear on Ram's site regarding the different between Level 1 and Level F (Other than a $2200!!)

All I can see is if you opt for level F ($6,000 option!!!) over level 1 ($3,800) you will receive:

-Painted mirrors (instead of chrome)
-2nd row seat heaters
-17 speakers (instead of which are super ugly in the headliner)

Unless I'm missing something, this has got to be the biggest waste $2200 I've seen. At least they could have left the fender flares or something else for $2200 since all 3 of those items are essentially worthless IMO.

The rear seat heaters were a must for us so we didn’t have another option. I’m very happy with the 17 speaker stereo system. I wasn’t a waste a money for us. It’s actually one of my favorite options.

Oh course to each their own since we all find different value in different things...... To me, a 9 speaker system in a modern vehicle doesn't perform significantly worse than a 17 speaker system. My kids definately don't deserve seat heaters in the rear and its something else to break. I grew up without them so they can deal without an extra "luxury" so they can see how most of the world lives. Regardless, they have some value but I just dont see $2200 in value alone, it almost adds 3% to the MSRP of the truck, doesn't pencil out when I look at it that way.

When I was planning my build I looked at the two different packages. I’m sure 2 of my 3 kids would have liked the rear seat heat, but otherwise it would have been a fight.

I’ve also seen far more complaints on the 17 speaker system than the 9 speaker system. Mostly about it not being worth the added cost or that’s it’s even any better the 9 speaker system.

That made my decision easy to stick with the level A package.
