I like the differences, however, they aren't enough for me to want to ditch my 2013 for one.

I'd like to find oen of the vinyl floor rigs with cloth seats! leather interior on a truck. heck, its a truck for heavens sake! oh, and roll up windows too!.....

On the other hand, 6 way seats and AC is nice to have too. Beyond that, do not need too much in the truck. WHen you enter with 4" of mud or horse sheet on the bottom of your feet, vinyl is better than carpet. And when you have rubber rain gear on, leather does not like that too well either!

Since this interior looks stake and dated, can you identify which truck interior you feel is not? Also, which car interior would you identify? Always like to examine what others have found.

I have a 2013 Ram Laramie. I went to buy a King Ranch but the Ram won me over as the interior (to me) was put together much better. The fit, finish, and quality of materials, and quietness was much better in the Ram than the GMC Denali and King Ranch I looked at. My last 2 cars have been acura and audi...I used to drive about 30k miles per year so creature comforts were "necessary". Seems most of the "reviews" from pubs agree as Ram interior has been noted as being above the others.

All that being said, different people like different things...Ram interior is nice, but my payload is horrific (1061 lbs according to my door sticker):) which is why I am trading it in on a 3500 cummins (or I might wait to see what the 2015 F350 looks like (released early in 2014).

Chevy and GMC interiors, to me, have looked cheap, used way too many hard plastics, and just plain looked bad compared to others. The 2014 is better than it has been in the past, but it still looks cheap to me. Great truck no doubt, but I would expect more refinement on the inside when spending 60k on a truck

+1 ... Dodge wins interior for me , the others looks kinda meh and cheap .

I think the truck looks pretty good, bit heavy on the chrome but what really stands out is the DPF tank still hanging down. It is partially hidden by the chrome step tube but there it is. I would be concerned if the truck was ever going to be leaving pavement for the trail. All the room under a truck, but GM decides to leave it there after a refit, seems odd.

Hmm.....facial beauty.

Here is my take, I think the Ram looks pretty good, the GMC is kinda starting to grow on me, I like the Chevy but than again i am biased. Now the Ford, that is one down right ugly mug. It is the only grille that has and needs braces.

In case your calling me a fan boy.....Gm still hasn't fixed that droopy ugly def tank. Please tuck that thing up under there somewhere!

That stout 6.0 backed with a 410 and 6 speed trans is one nice dependable set up. Many out there that are towing heavy ! If you have never driven one, you should !! even to this date they put that 6.0 up against fords 6.2 and ram hemi, and it hangs right with them!! Hey if ford can have the same super duty body since 99 with some face lifts, GM can keep a good thing going too !

I think it's about time Chevy retired the center bar on the grill and go to something different. Heck even their car's got the center bar treatment, but the latest models have now changed.

I got to say the front grill and bumper on the Chevy looks terrible.

And from now on every time you pull on to the highway your rear view mirror will be filled with the image of that terrible grille.

That's actually a scary caption!

But again seeing the new Chevy front end is a disappointment. Maybe it will look better in person.

I honestly have not been able to take my eyes off this truck since this thread started, the more I look at this redesign the more impressed I am. I'm with ya Dadoffourgirls, the interior is growing on me as well.
