Lately I have been looking at the 2019-2021 Laramie Longhorn editions. The other day I was at the Jeep/Chev dealer picking up my JKU after warranty work. I meandered out in the lot drawn by a new black 2500 Duramax Silverado...Factory sticker was $75K

That is cheap today and it's only going to go up as the dollar gets weaker.

Go with the 2500 Duramax.

Go with the 2500 Duramax.

I know, I had a LB7 3500DRW from 2008 to 2018....the engine was a beast. I was doing some hot shotting back then, but no more. Hauling an occasional car, truck or tractor is about it.
butbut...the $...ouch

Only guys that don’t like those trucks are ones that never owned them.
Too bad on the rocker/cab corner/rear fender rust. They would have gone from great to legendary if they didn’t rust.

Seems like there a few guys out there restoring the rusty areas, fixing them up and putting a 45K ask price on them.

Have a 2016 Laramie Longhorn 4x4, 5.3L with 3.92 gears & average 12/18 mpg. Only 2 issues in 7 years. A/C blower fan had a bad ground and the center rear brake light housing leaking into cab.

Pulls/tows great, but needs helper bags on the rear due to coils as it squats a good bit with heavier tongue weights (my neighbor with a 2021 has the same squating issue). Can't really think of any other negatives.

I have one since 2012 and I bought it new... good truck overall I must say. The brakes sucks, you have to service them every year if not they will seize, you can't abuse the transmission. I do go through CV shaft regularly, I do have a leveling kit and after my first set of CV shaft I did switch to napa pats which are garbage despite having a very good warranty and being cheep I do not recommend them, stick with Mopar parts if you own a dodge.

....and the center rear brake light housing leaking into cab

Just got a recall for mine a couple weeks ago, a 2019. They said it would be covered for 10 years.
Made an appt to take it in to get it fixed, made it for first thing in the am so I wouldn't be there all day. 2 hours later they came out, "yup, it's leaking, we'll order the part" either a gasket or a new light, not sure which. It took them two hours to tell me it was leaking which was obvious by the water stain on the headliner, waste of time and they still haven't called me to say the part is in yet

That kinda sucks. Quality of dealer service sounds lacking.
I had same issue with my 5500. There was a recall on rear brake lines, but oddly, I still had to get them looked at to verify before replacement.
That seemed really bizarre to me.
