Lariat vs KR
Working on ordering new truck. Have done Lariat's for the last two. This time, when adding options to the Lariat I am pretty close to the KR in price.
1.We cover the seats. We have 4 dogs and go to cabin every 3 weeks. Lots of shedding and wet paws.
2. I don't think we need the nav, though ..maybe. Have 2 portable units..
I know this call is based on a lot of personal preferences, but....
Anyone else struggle with is decision and what made you make a call one way or the other?

The NAV option gives much more than just navigation. There are other goodies displayed on that screen including the backup camera, Sirius options, etc. Plus I think the factory navigation is really excellent and better than having a separate device to mount/deal with.

It is all personal pref. I bought when there were few of these on the lots. If I could have waited to order etc, I would have gotten a KR with the black interior not tan. I love the KR's. I also love my Lariat. I do not have the Nav but wish I did. I like gadgets. The SYNC is nice but the Nav display is better.

Dogs - i would be using a canopy, with a nice bed carpet. Atleast for owet and dirty, but when clean for longer trips in the cab.
Integrated nav has several benefits.
I prefer chrome bumpers but honestly with lots of rocks ect, they mark up to, painted pieces on the lariatare lookin rough after 2 winters on my 2005. Only benefit would be kr would get rough sooner, then you could go get an aliarc or ranchhand.
Black on black interior the best, but you need to be able to keep out of the sun.

I never understood what people see in the KR although I have not seen a black one in person. I went with a black Lariat Ultimate. I think the NAV is well worth it. It is not just a map. With Travel Link you can get actual radar maps of the weather ahead of you and the cheapest gas prices and traffic conditions. The bigger screen for the back up camera is so much easier to see than the little one built into the rear view mirror.

thanks, I will re-visit. I was sliding towards the KR but maybe for no good reason. Will also take another look at the nav.

I do like the step bar on the KR. It seems wider, kind of like my 01 DRW. Better for mother in law and such. I don't see that as an option on the Lariat?
Also, I am not seeing the "Lariat Ultimate" as I am building, am I missing something?
