$57k for one trim above base is not affordable. Looks like I’m going to have to hold onto my Classic Tradesman for a good while, it’s paid off.

The ‘23 1500 Classic Tradesman base trim starts at $30, 695 plus a delivery charge. That is an actually affordable 1500 Ram.

My 2014 sport had 5.7 hemi
Leather seats, moon roof, dual zone climate, both powered seats, powered back window, factory bed liner. 8inch screen with the nicer upgraded infotainment system, Alpine speakers and daytime running lights. The starting MSRP was around $40k!
10 years later this basic thing is $15k more?! Something is not right with this world

I love that Big Horn the way it's optioned out. I would add LED headlights, but you could buy them( the bulbs) through Headlight Revolution. Great review as always Ben!

Interesting. I have a ‘22 Bighorn with the midnight/night/ black package. So, black 20” inch wheels, black body color, 4x4 with trailer brake, dual zone climate, 12” info screen, extended cab with the longer bed, power driver bucket seat, hemi engine. Very well-optioned, in other words, for the Bighorn. MSRP was, I think, right around $60, 000. I added aftermarket leather seats, though the cloth seats were surprisingly good. The ‘24 is underwhelming by comparison at $57, 000.

Back to your previous video, I’ve noticed finding a big horn with the bigger infotainment screen is becoming harder and harder. 4th gen big horns were optioned nicer than these….

I bought a new ‘23 Ram Big Horn Hemi Equip Gr-1 on 3-22-24 with a MSRP of $61k for $49, 329 OTD. Bought near Kalamazoo MI. I did use the 1st Responder and Employee Choice incentive. I’ve been looking since September, watching Brandon and the Car Edge channel was helpful.

I just replaced my 21 ram big horn with a 24 big horn. The 21 had GPS parking sensors. The 21 radio with uconnect is way better then the 24. Besides those 2 missing options in the 24 they added heated seats and steering wheel which is amazing. Great truck as always. Plenty of power.

A soon as it's driven off the lot, deprecation brings it right back down to 40k, where it should have started in the first place.

The only thing I hate in all Ram trucks is the dial shifter

Boy, your money doesn't go very far now days. I remember when I bought my 2015 Ram 1500 Sport brand new, heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel all leather, sun roof, large screen, power everything for just over 45, 0000 Canadian! The same truck now literally costs almost $90, 000 Canadian....it blows me away. She's paid for, and right now that's worth a whole lot more to me than a shiny new truck. But to pay that for cloth seats, no bed liner, halogen bulbs, small screen etc. absolutely no way. I'll wait until prices aren't in the land of make believe.

[harterbob]

Why would Ram include the ice buckets, four wheel drive auto and the opening rear window on the Bighorn and not on the Laramie?

[modernman]

I have a 2021 bighorn and I love it. Glad I bought when rates were low.

[acktionjackson]

I have a 2020 Bighorn with a level 2 trim package moonroof heated seats heated steering wheel usb-c ports and all that stuff. This truck looks exactly the same as the one I have. Can anybody tell me what the difference is? I had to buy it out when my lease ended around this time last year and I'm trying to get the payment down so I'm either going to refinance this truck through my credit union or see about getting a new one but I honestly can't see any difference. It looks like the difference between an iPhone 13 Promax in an iPhone 14 pro Max with a whole 4 years in between.

I like “decontenting “. When I compare this at 57K with my 19 bighorn which had all led lights, adjustable pedals, power seats, spray in liner, tonneau cover and stuff i don’t recall now all for 38K due to awesome rebates. Well, the the world has changed in 5 years. I’m out of the truck market now but I miss my bighorn.

[stevenblack]

I totally agree about how confusing the trims are. If you build a truck online, if you choose a wheel type, you need to choose this electronic package. Really???? Wheels=tech package?? It is very weird and the packages Big Horn 1, Big Horn 2, and package level B??? It is just difficult to understand for such a beautiful truck.

[jessicaabukhamsin]

Dream truck! My parents have this truck I fell in love with it.

[thehandsonlandlord]

Don't see how people can afford to buy a new truck these days. No way will I ever pay 57k or more for a vehicle.

[greglopez]

This is a weird one. Some sort of Tradesman/Warlock/Big Horn combo. Not good

[Beav]

Waiting to see if Ram Canada opens up orders for the Big Horn with night, off road, and premium lighting packages. If not, guess I’ll be ordering a Sport.
