There is a huge difference in the quality of leather!

There are times when it would be nice to have seating for six but the console overrides that option.

BUT the console can carry a PILE of stuff and if one doesn't need seating for 6, to me, the console is a bonus for all that it offers in conveniences.

Yea we really like the console!

Issue is you can't get a 6 seat longhorn. Other then the the color and the embroidery what's the difference?

Confused about your question.

"can't get a 6 seat Longhorn":h Yeah, I'm confused also unless he means you can't get a 6 passenger Longhorn...if so, the Laramie I had wasn't a "6 seat" either....but not sure what is being said.

I was stating a fact. When I was looking for a new truck to replace my 07 I didn't even look at the Longhorns because you can not get 6 seats.
Since I never sat in one or looked at them on the lot I ask a question.

Well don't ever test drive a LongHorn because you will be driving a 5 seater!:B

The "wording" you used was misunderstood by me...not trying to be a smart aleck, if you read it, it looked like you were stating something about not having 6 seats...BUT, I did figure you meant it wouldn't seat 6 people AND you are correct due to the console.

no offense meant, I just didn't understand your post.. I apologize.

A lot! First thing my wife said when we compared a Laramie to a Longhorn. The Laramie is much more vinyl like, while the Longhorn is heavier, much better quality of "leather" . Much better in the Longhorn.

You are right about the 6 person seating though. NA in Longhorn.

I have the 2014 Laramie, and the quality of the seats are terrible, ya they look nice, but thats where it ends. I certainly hope the Longhorn is better, but again anything would be an improvement.

I doubt the Laramie has any actual leather, probably all vinyl . could be some on the trim.

I have seen the results of body oil on real leather in a friends King Ranch not pretty, kind of sneaked up on him, and he has tried everything to clean it, and has been unable to. . Mostly on his console where he rests his arm. kind of a darker brown, and real dark where his arm rests.

They don't offer black leather in the Longhorns do they? I just can't do the Tan or Saddle. To me it looks dirty all the time.

Mine is a dark brown, (saddle?)...looks pretty good to me, it's darker and never noticed that it looked dirty, but keep mine clean.

Yeah, I kinda figured that was what they meant by "6 seat", more like "6 passenger"...With bench seat up front on a Laramie, one could seat 6 passengers but with the console, one can only seat 5....
