2020 RAM 2500 Limited VS Laramie Black | Breaking Down The Trims To Find $4000's In Differences 

3 yrs later, this video is helping me decide between a Laramie or limited. Thanks bruh

Those dealer badges drive me nuts!

I actually like the slightly cleaner exterior look of the Laramie. It looks more business.

The Larame grill is cleaner. The Limited grill is gaudy and busy. The headlights on the Limited are much cleaner and better looking.

Another excellent video, thanks JB! Got my 21’ 3500 HO Limited Mega arriving in February and your videos helped me a ton on my decision.

Great job on the detailed comparison! For some reason, I like the Laramie led headlight accents on the top and bottom better than the limited... But I have to admit that limited interior looks really good. Also, they payload difference likely comes from unique springs between the 2 levels. I'd bet that the Limited rides a touch softer than the laramie. Again, great job and content.

Man, that dealer badge! It ruins that tailgate!

Thanks for posting. I really like that limited interior trim.

JB your videos have been hugely helpful for me as I research Dodge Ram 2500's. Probably ordering a Laramie 2500 Night Edition this week and you have helped me with that decision. Keep up the great work!

I decided on the 2020 Laramie, lifted it and slapped Fuel rims and 35’s on it. Too much bling on the limited for me. I do a lot of off roading with two hunting dogs in the back, my Laramie interior is still too nice for them

Getting Limited for sure definitely limited is worth the money can’t Waite for my delivery day which is this coming Tuesday

Laramie looks so much better than the Limited. That Limited grill. Yuck.

Saw another difference. The Limited's backup lights on the top of the cab. Beautiful trucks. I just drove a 2500 yesterday for the first time. It had the Cummins...WOW. The thing is comfortable, much more than my 2018 1500 Laramie EcoDiesel. I want one.

Another great comparison review. Keep it up

I got the laramie but not the limited edition and can't be happier with it. Actually went to dealership to buy a new sport but my salesguy was still busy with another buyer so another salesman tossed me keys to the newest one on the lot they got in that day and told me to take it out for a drive while I waited for him to wrap up. After 10 minutes I got back to the dealership and was like, yup I want this one lol. Paid about $10k more for the laramie over the sport but the black and chrome just pops and love the accent lights that are on the mirrors that shine on the ground when you open the doors and the lights inside the doors and middle console that are on at night when driving around.

What's Up JB! It's been a while since i last communicated with you,.. but i wanted to let you know i settled on a 1500. I got a near new looking 2017 1500 Long Horn with all the bells and whistles and 42000Mils(70000kms) for $27,000 (36k Canadian)! Fully loaded with the air ride. I couldn't pass it up! It was the Ram dealership's owner's truck. He upgraded to a 2020 and put the 2017 for sale. The truck still looks, smells and drives like new. It's bright white with a limited style grill and the black and cattle tan interior. Oh something else, the dealership offered a full replacement insurance in the case of theft or total lose and dig this, the vehicles value goes up 5% per year for 5 years. That means that if it gets totaled or stolen in the 5th year, i will be worth 25% more than when i bought it and I'll get back all my money plus that 25% !!

I wish the limited had more exterior color options. Be neat to see some of those crazy lower trim level colors in the higher end models.

Both are beautiful trucks. Part of me prefers the tradesman or big horn without the leather, moonroof etc. Don’t want to worry about getting in the truck dirty or putting things on the roof.

You cannot get air suspension like on the 1500s. You can get automatic level rear air on the HD. Not the same though. You can also get the doors on the center console. That’s not only limited.

Am waiting my RAM 3500 HO Laramie LongHorn MegaCab Blue 2022

i have a 2012 now which is my 3rd Ram Cummins. First thing I did on all of them was to strip off all that badging. I agree that dealer badge would be the first to go. They look way better cleaned off. I have had several people stop and ask me whats different on my truck. After I point it out they are like "yeah thats i. Much better looking that way."

I went Laramie just because of the grill/headlights look cleaner (only option I like better on the Limited is the gauge cluster) My 2020 night edition cummins laramie has more options than several limited trucks today (that chip shortage really cut down on the options available for 2021 and 2022 trucks.

I think the difference in payload between the two is the limited has the Cummins engine and it weighs a lot more than the gas engine.

I ended up getting the limited black appearance pack a couple days ago. When dropping 80k less then 10% price difference is nothing. Way easier to find a limited with every option then a laramie too (and trust me air suspension was hard enough to find as is).

Trying to decide between a laramie and limited during the chip shortage. Dealers are being ultra stingy, even on a custom order. Might just hold off until things loosen up.

i was thinking about getting a 2021 dodge ram 3500 long horn. it would be nice to see a similiar comparison video like this between the longhorn and the limited.

Great video, I never noticed those differences before. How do you get $12-13k off sticker??!

Can you make a vid just on the blacked out limited?

I think it sucks that RAM took the CD player away from the 2022 Limited. They even took there pocket away too.

Right now I’m looking at a 20 to 2500 Laramie and a limited the limited actually 3000 cheaper but it is a short bed versus a long bed same color and both of the blackout package

I like the polished wheels on the NON black model. Looking at a gas one.

Fast forward 3 years, and the '23 model year there's a $12k difference....unreal, and it looks like it's going to get even MORE ridiculous in 2024.

Great content keep going bro !!

Awesome review! Thank you

The 3rd brake light is different too

When I ordered my limited that is one thing I hated about getting the night edition package, was I lost the fancy door handles. It makes a difference! Should give us the fancy handles on the exterior, instead of chrome inserts, have them blacked out, still would look better! This dealership seriously puts their tags right under the Center Ram logo on the tailgate? That looks hideous! Tell them to stop. I would remove that tag before leaving the dealer, and normally leave dealer name tags on. lol

Very well done, thanks for doing this....

That real leather dash in the limited will be a pain in the ass to maintain. The sun will dry it out and it will need constant treatment with leather conditioners. I prefer the Laramie for durability sake

Nice video. Love the small details

I compared the 2021 Limited and Laramie Night I decide to make the purchase it will the Laramie Night

I like the Laramie grill it looks more clean to me

Both trucks look awesome and I would be happy with either. Ram should put better tires on their trucks than those crappy Firestones. Had a set on my 1st 2500 HD and they just don't last. Super job JB on the video and review. Thanks for sharing.

Great review JB! I agree they are both beautiful trucks but the limited is the way to go if you have the bread and especially in that black out....I don’t think I would do an upgraded Laramie over a limited....perhaps a rebel

The back of the trucks also the cargo reverse light is blacked out on the limited

Put that limited up Against A Laramie Longhorn edition.. the Longhorn interior blows both out the water. With actual leather seats that patina over time.. just my opinion. I'd get a white or black Laramie Longhorn 3500 (no dually) megacab loaded with every option available. If your gonna spend 85,000$ give or take spend another 15 or 20 and get what u want so u wont regret it one day.. its gotta have cab lights , the high output Cummins, and the Aisen transmission. Unless I could give them enough money to put me a 6 speed manual like they used to do.. ram held on the longest I just hated seeing the manual trans option go.. chevy , ford already have 10 speed automatics. Imma wait til Aisen jumps on that wagon if they do. If I cant have my old manual I'd like to see a 10 speed Aisen trans. Just my opinions guys. Good detailed video btw.. thanks for that..

In my opinion the longhorn has more detail than the limited. Black on tan longhorn is the best way to go...

I really liked your information. I am new in the car sales business. Yes I sell Dodge products. Your video was very helpful to me beings I have to present these facts to a buyer. I’m certIn he’s going to live his 2500 limited I’m looking forward to your future and pass videos. Keep up the great work.

Limited grill all the way. Hate the price for it though.

Nice videos I would never be able to afford this I'll have to go almost as basic as you can

Outstanding Review!

My wife complain I swap the truck for only 1 years for I choose a medium trim and not satisfied, this time she agreed me to change again (nice wife, right?). So I decide go with Limited in case I regret after drive it/

JB GREAT REVIEWS ON BOTH TRUCKS. I WAS JUST TOLD THE LIMITED IS 98K!!! THE LARAMIE IS 73K. I THINK I'M LATE TO THIS PARTY!!! YOUR THOUGHTS ONCE AGAIN I'M A YEAR LATE. PEACE

The website to find the towing capacity of my ram truck went away. Do you have another site to review?

I watched about 60% of this video and realized what a good buy I got on my Tradesman 2500. Why do I need leather seats and a bunch fancy door liners and other useless expense? My truck has 18" rims. Good enough. It has a Class V hitch and brake controller. Good enough. It tows 14,750 pounds and has a payload rating of 3,250 pounds. Good enough. It's a gassed with 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque. Good enough. It has the UConnect with 8.4" screen. Good enough. I could go on, but I think this makes the point. My out the door price was $39,446.

Nice video. I like the Laramie. A little too much bling on the Limited. I had a Tundra Limited that I lifted, de-badged and tricked out. Again, a little too gaudy for me. I don’t like to draw attention to my ride anymore.

Damm JB I could be your baby brother if you get a 2500 Blacked out limited 😁 ..great review as always bro..by the time you haggle with negotiating you can get the limited for the same price..

Love that black Limited.

Laramie looks much better IMO to each their own I suppose.

Great job!

Awesome review!

Do any of them come with the pano roof?

Didnt see floor containers on either are those add on's?

80+ grand...down payment for a house???

My Laramie black edition has 1849lbs payload. It is actually quite frustrating... it is a heavy duty Ram 2500. It is supposed to have more than 2,000lbs payload..

@ Nostrils in the gorill of the limited....I just love it. I would want to change the front and back (bumpers) for some aggressive winches and towing shackles. It would look better with aftermarket rims and tred. Its looking like a 1hund & fiddy thou Mwachine. Subscribed and like - thanks JB:

I wish you would have turned on the lights…

Good review brah 👌 👍 Limited is a go. Next truck for me Tradesmen or Big Horn.

Bought a limited last week with the off road package and air suspension.

The wheels don’t matter to me. I’m going to get more aggressive wheels and tires aftermarket, and then lift the truck 3-6” anyways.

The cab brake light is different in the back too.

What's the towing capacity? On the 2019 limited?

You should do a review of a ram 6.4 with the eight speed towing your fifth wheel so you can directly compare it to the Chevy gas 6.6

i dont understand what you mean by the higher the price point the more discounts you get ? the price goes up with every option you add s where is the discount

makes sense tbh. the limited is more of a concrete princess.

You missed the third break light that was another difference in the rear lol

Compare the real leather of the Limited vs the pleather of the Laramie.

Great review as always JB ram really gives you a lot of options if you do the research you can find a really nice truck best Bang for the buck I shopped around in my local dealer I was actually looking for a big horn but got a Laramie cheaper than everybody else's big horn And of course had to get the brilliant white

Out of curiosity I’d I ordered Laramie with the led lights and they the same as limited

Great review JB. Question for you, 1. Are you seeing a premium asking price for these trucks these days? If yes, do you think its because inventory is low? A local GMC dealer is saying that because inventories are way down here in Colorado that no one is giving incentives to move these trucks. Supply is tight be of the virus stuff and inventories won't be back to normal until mid-September. Are you seeing the same thing?

Third break light / cargo light is different on the back

Nothing prettier than a Black truck rolling of the showroom floor, problem is they never look that good again. That's why I went with Delmonico, a little easier to keep clean. With a black truck, you end up spending more money at the carwash than your monthly payment LOL

If you spend 80k without getting a HO with the Aisin in a 3500, then you’re making a terrible mistake. Currently in 2021, there is no negotiating.

And the 3rd brake light is different

tail pipes are different to

Why can’t I find a gas Laramie 2500 for sale anywhere near me. Especially one with a 12” screen and 360 camera

Dose air suspension have a better ride on a 3500?

Laramie grill way cleaner and slick

Great video

Also, the white lettering on the blacked out truck is gross. Why aren’t those ghosted?

They look very good dirty just like that 👍

So are just going to forget about the 3rd break light?

3rd brake light is diff too

Laramie long horn is the killer

I saved 18,000 on my 2019 Limited

i thank about it 800%

Im assuming you can Get a laramie or bighorn and buy a limited grille, spice up the look.

Good Video

Limited interior is only black? Bummer I love a camel color interior.

limited leather is napa, high quality

JB how is it possible that a 2500 Ram can have less pay load than my 2019 1500 silverado
