I have a while before purchase, so the decision process will be well thought out this time and not rushed. My lottery dream truck is a 3500 MC Longhorn dually with a bed stretch, but it would take winning to foot that $80k bill. Realistic dream is the 1500. I'm leaning towards the ED, but still have a lot of questions about long term costs and reliability, such as mega dollar oil changes and emissions related issues. What is definite is it will be a CCLB 4X4.
Where I'm stuck is which trim to buy. My dream is a Longhorn anything, but the more practical side says go for a Tradesman with the rubber floor and $15k in savings. I'm looking at a long term investment (multiple hundreds of thousands of miles) and the interior needs to hold up, as well as remain comfortable.
How have those interiors been holding up? Have the LH seats remained comfortable and intact? I've seen way too many GM leather seats crease and rip after 100,000 miles of use. How about Tradesman cloth seats? Do the interior plastics hold up to wear and tear?
