We want the Longhorn. Much more comfortable than a Laramie, and (more importantly) I want one, and have for years. I also want new; every used truck I've owned has had issues, some major, bought from reputable dealers. We're keeping it, and I want to know who did all the maintenance.
The 6.4 may be an option, but I'm trying to keep it down below a certain price point. Though less than $2k for the option, that gets me all the extra cost options. Considering we will be towing maybe 10k a year once we hit the road, and only a few weeks total before retirement, the 5.7 should do just fine.
We'll have to drive both for longer than a couple of minutes before deciding.
