I had a year and 3 months left on my 2011 laredo lease and got a call from dealership. They are buying back my 2011 and I am getting a 14 limited. It's black on black which I wanted in the beginning. Limited is with the luxury II and tow packages. I had to have the new headlights. I leased this one as well but I think it will be a keeper.

They tried to get me in one without the HIDs and I said no way and almost walked out till the found one at another dealership. I had a gray interior in the 2011 and hated it from the beginning and always felt like they forced me into it. I wanted to make sure I got what I wanted this time cause if I keep it I want what I wanted. It should be their tomorrow but I should have everything ready on my side by friday. I can't wait to get it.

I love my black on black 2014 V6 Limited. Got mine with the power sunroof, tow pkg., 20" wheels, and 8.4A radio...all for under $40,000.

I would have liked the HID headlights, but I wasn't about to pay for a $4,000 pkg. just to get them. After swapping out the crappy bulbs in the standard headlights, it almost looks like I have HID now.

See if you can get them to set you up with a set of the Mopar wheels.
82212377 18x7.5 10 spoke Night Fever Black, painted
82212286 18" 10 spoke Dark Grey Metallic, just in case you don't wanna overdue the Vader thing.
82212154 18" Cast Aluminum off road wheel, gloss black.

I paid $38,XXX for my Hemi limited with the 20"s and tow package and the 8.4 inch radio. They are pretty cheap if you look around. And I got mine almost 5 months ago.

I hate the new headlights. If I end up with a 2014 model, it will be a Limited, specifically to avoid the new headlights.
If you are talking about the 2014 HIDs...then I agree with you. When I first saw a 2014 GC in person, I liked the regular headlight assembies better. The plastic filler pieces in the underneath corners of the HID assembies look like a cheap after thought. Why couldn't Chrysler design a HID headlight assembly that fills up the whole space?

:confused:

One of the things that first attracted me to the 2014 GC was the cool DRLs. I would like them better if they would not have put the filler plastic below, but even so I still love them.

On my black one I don't notice it. I absolutely needed to have these lights. I am really liking this one over the laredo I had.
Mine is black also so it really isn't too bad. Maybe the aftermarket will come up with something to go in place of the fillers. I've even thought about adding the Summit headlight washers. I've had them on other vehicles and liked them.

I'm going from a 2012 Laredo X hemi to a 2014 limited hemi with a tow package, the off-road adventure package one, with 8.4 nav radio.

I actually like the 18 inch smoked rims on the 2014 much better than the 20 inch ones. Not only do I think they look better they also are cheaper.

I really wanted the ventilated seats in the new headlights, but the rest of the Lux II package seemed a little crazy in what it adds in random upgrades and cost. I couldn't find a vehicle that had tow, lux II, and nav without the 20in rims.

I know there is an upgrade for the lights for about $1000. Not sure how possible it is to upgrade the seats.

I like the 18's too. But I plan on some aftermarket 20's. I think I have them picked out.

Yeah, it kinda blends in on black vehicles. But any other color, it stands out like a sore thumb. In my opinion, the black plastic filler makes the upgraded headlights look more like the base model headlights.
