I have decided that I want to order a new truck early next year. After thinking about it for about month I have decided on a 2012 2500, 4x4, Hemi with 4.10 gears. I am really looking forward to the new 6 speed transmission. I am having a lot of trouble deciding on color and trim level. I originally wanted white, but after seeing the new blue for 2012 it has me reconsidering. I am still leaning towards white, but blue is a strong possibility. Then I don't know if I want an Outdoorsman or Laramie... The Laramie is a little over $2k more when both trucks are equipped the way I want. The fancier stereo is irrelevant in the Laramie since it will come out anyways and be replaced with what's in my current truck. Also, since I want a sunroof I am forced to go with the Alpine stereo system. Sticker price for the Laramie is $47,410 and the Outdoorsman is $45,290.
I like the color matched grille on the Outdoorsman, but that can obviously be changed on the Laramie. The truck I am leaning towards most right now is a monotone white Outdoorsman, then plasti-dip the bumpers white. These would probably get powder coated later on. Are the extra features on the Laramie worth the extra couple grand? It looks to me like all I would get heated/ventilated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and chrome mirrors and door handles, which would have to go... I don't really care about the heated steering wheel and I can add heated leather seats for less than $2k... I do like the all black interior a little better, but the wood grain would have to go as well.
Your thoughts?
I can't decide on my next truck!
