"If I were to go to the better leather I would go to a Limited and change the ugly billet grille to a Longhorn or Laramie grille."
I completely agree!!! My Son bought his 15 3500 SRW Limited the same day as me with the dark leather interior with the same grill as my LongHorn.
Ricatic I would NOT buy a used truck!!!. BUT if I did it would be a 15 or newer as they have had much better track record from everything I have read about on the TDR.
Order the truck the way YOU want it!
Here is my build sheet, only thing I did not get was double alternators, auto dim or auto wipers.
Speaking of tires I had a set of MS2's waiting to go on my 15 at 200 miles on the clock. Replaced them at 40K with a warranty or $106 per tire. They said they improved them as they are now defenders so I gave them a shot. I could have spent the money on any tire. So far at 12 k the tires appear to be holding up MUCH better than the last set.
