Platinum Plus is the former limited. Except for the name, nothing has changed.

One looks like shined primer. The other looks like shined primer with a dab of baby blue.

Ruby replaces Rapid. Huge improvement IMHO.

I guess I’m in the minority. 7.3L Powerstroke, 6.0L, 6.4L, 6.7L …all great experiences. But when compared to gas, I don’t know. I won’t waste a great HD truck chassis by ordering a half measure torque engine when the whole thing is available.

A couple of exterior colors and a new smoked truffle interior color for the plus. My 23 was never built. My 24 re-order came in a hideous new color. The 23+ models took a pointy boot in the groin restyling. I have decided to wait for the next badly needed refresh, and that’s probably coming sooner than later.

Im/we are savers and conservative spenders who hates high depreciation unless we can buy right. I have bought my fair share of toys, but never paid the high price for them. I’m 65, and I am at a point where I can comfortably buy whatever I want and write a check for it. My situation is stable because of my conservative approach. My retirement is fully secured, as well as my investment cash flow along with my debt free business and two homes…and a WHOLE lot of timing and luck. I’ve owned a bunch of new SD trucks throughout the years. . Enjoyed the write offs and the somewhat stable pricing. But..if I were in my 40s today, there would be NO effin WAY I would pay these prices, or consider risking my future goals for overpriced, temporary satisfaction. The last thing I want to do right now is worry about finances, or ever having to work again. If you can’t swing a 48 month payment, you are buying in the wrong catagory, no matter what Mr. or Mrs. Jones drives. I’d look elsewhere for your vehicle of choice until more time passes allowing the systemic foolishness to settle down.. .

Imo, I would wait.

Check carrier bering if your truck has one. If not, replace u joints. oil? I might seriously think about installing a new oil pump.

With such a late launch, a short run and a refresh for 26’?

New color is Avalanche, and possible another. The Limited trim is gone, and re-branded as Platinum Plus. The new PP interior color is Smoked Truffle. A light to medium tan. Huge improvement over that cheap blue interior color IMO.

We should know what’s coming sometime in July.

We’ll, you know what they say around here…. ”Summer” is the best day of the year! 🤣

You have to remember, New York is a northern state. The sun isn’t as bright as it is in the south. I did tint one off my trucks in previous years and found that I could hardly see out of it at night if it was raining. Too dark. .

No added tint to front seat windows/windshield in NY, period.

The new DMax is rumored to make 600 hp, and 1,200# torque. It obviously a tuned down introduction that may be increased for the next 10 years. Is 700/1,500 out of the question down the road? I doubt it as long as drivetrain improvements follow. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
