Lol. I’m reading this thread right now, and been thinking just that. I have a 21 limited I’ll be trading in soon. Maybe I should just keep it and not trade it for a Trx? Right now I have so many lights on this sum beech it is lit up as a Christmas tree in and out. Hehe Grass is always greener on the other side I guess yep, FoCoJayCo, now here is some more shit for you to stress over, you are paying a hundred grand and ain’t getting damn cabin lights you are supposed to have. How you feel about that?

I kept my 19 Laramie. I love that truck. Plus I've done to much to make it mine. Air intake, exhaust, PPF, ceramic coating. It sounds great and looks great. It gets better MPG, so I don't feel bad driving it. Plus I don't mind my GF driving it, and she is not getting her greedy little paws on my new truck. Lol.

Haha, yup! Smart decision. Post a pic of your Laramie.

My limited after I put 22’s on it, dropped my MPG down to 11-12. Not much difference from Trx. Will be the same truck inside, but I will sure enjoy the power. Can’t wait

Check out Oracle Lighting or Paragoptics.

Get the Paragoptics kit. It’s excellent. You do need to order the rear door harness and lamp housing for the missing middle light. Yes pain in the ass, but super easy to install.

So what's the general consensus? Are people getting this light in the rear door covered by warranty or is the dealer telling you to hit the road?

I just ordered mine from BAM… the $17 wasn’t worth the discussion with the dealer.

OK. I hate to keep this discussion going.......but I have to ask. Does anyone have pictures of what the ambient lighting should be in a 2023 Level 2 TRX? This little thread is 15 pages and I don't think anything is working in my truck. Yes, I have the dial turned up, but I don't see much/anything in the cab. Doors, foot well, etc. is dark. Nothing around the start button. What in the hell should be lit up with the ambient lighting?!? Gracias in advance........

They don’t come on if you have the dimmer turned all the way up. With that said, the OEM ambient lighting is barely noticeable.

I think the ambient lighting is only on and adjustable when the headlights are on.

True story

Patriot · Jul 17, 2023

Appreciate the feedback and yes, turned up to the first detent is where I have it. It is barely noticeable, like not at all..........

Yes, had the headlights on in a dark garage to see if I noticed anything.

Sounds like it's going to be a dark cab for me.......
