Default Laramie Longhorn

I test drove one of these and absolutely loved the interior of this truck. I feel it ranks up with the denali and king ranch if not surpasses them. This was my first drive in the new body style truck and instantly noticed that the quad cab long box felt like car. If you have the chance to jump in one of these longhorns....do it!!

I drove the Laramie Longhorn and was going to trade in my 07 for it but didn't because it did not seem to be as strong in power as my 07 dose and it was not a mega cab . But it is very nice truck and I will own one, one day . but I will be keeping my 07 for good.

Way more storage in them compared to the regular laramies. Can't see myself dropping $65,000 on one though. Me and a salesman grabbed a bighorn and went for a spin. Compared to my 5.9, it has a little more getty up.

I do not like the leather they use. The king ranch saddle shop leather is still #1 in my book.

I dont have anything to compare it to other than short drives in friends trucks so i was pleased with the longhorn. The dealer incentives were 10 grand off plus 1.9% and 0 down, still 50 grand though . We'll see how bad they wanna move'em closer to the end of the year. I think the deletes and a good tune would wake up a truck already rated at 350hp/800tq.

I like them a lot but can't see spending that kind of cash on one. It's crazy how what was once a "work truck" has ended up a luxury vehicle with prices to match those of Mercedes, BMW, and the like.

I think you are right! That is a lot of money for one. And it does not make it run any better or haul any more. It has got out of hand on their prices on the pick up.

Well the only one that hauls more is the King Ranch F450. I've heard it's $80+

These longhorns are beautiful trucks but like you all, I can not justify paying that kind of coin for a pick up. But my opinion is they are the most beautiful trucks out there when they are equipped with the etched seats.
