2024 Ram 1500 (Big Horn): Ram's Affordable Truck! 

$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

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 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!

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

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.

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.

Definitely not affordable, $40,000 truck for 57 thousand. You guys need to quit saying anything's affordable cuz they're all way overpriced.

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

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

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.

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

Real Value: $32k

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.

Beautiful truck! Love Ram, don't care what the haters say!!!!!!

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.

57k for a truck that was probably 47k new in 2020

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.

Insane ram!

Bought a 2024 4 door but not a crew cab 5.7 20” wheels bucket seats today for less than 51K there are some buys out there

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.

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.

I picked up a 23 ram tradesman with the towing and the equipment to get the 8.4 inch screen and CarPlay. I got it for 38k otd

You can get a Tundra Limited for just a bit more. And that comes with a lot more features than this. I’m a Ram guy too, had a 2019 but sold a couple years ago.

Yo

I have a 2022 Quad Cab Big Horn... Delmonico Red, hemi non etorque, and it has an 8-way adjustable seat but no ice bucket. Body matched handles, and I paid $48k before rebate trade in. I think I got a Big Horn Unicorn...

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

Is Stelanis actively trying to bankrupt ram and dodge?

That price is outrageous! I have 2021 1500 Limited Longhorn and I did not pay much more for what this is selling.

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.

You like the seats more than titans seats?

58k out the door for my 2020 limited, fully optioned... what has the truck msrket come to!!

In Australia this truck is $120 thousand AUD so around $96 thousand USD. Ram via the agents and dealers here in Australia are Fing highway robbers. It’s any wonder China is pumping their trucks into Australia, look at the competition, $80 grand more expensive. If Chrysler got their act together and built RHD sending them direct, at a factory price, they’d be the number 1 seller in oz.

I try to buy 24' Ram 1500 Big Horn pickup.

For 57,000$ they could have at least painted the handles and mirrors! Other than that I want that exact spec but I can’t afford that and at the age of 20 I don’t think insuring or financing one would be physically possible 😂😂😂

Only 7 grand less than my LIMITED Night Edition long bed w/moonroof from just 2 years ago. Ridiculous.

Guys please need your help ... does RAM offer reliability like Toyota Honda ... and how is their after sales service

This looks like a tradesman not a big horn, based on the center console, bench front seat, no USB ports on the rear of center console where the void is. Unless RAM is now lowering the features on the big horn and a divided front seat is now going to be at a premium.

I am looking going to a Ram 1500 Big Horn.

So this BigHorn has 4 wheel auto and sliding rear window but the Laramie, in your previous review, which is a trim level above the BigHorn, did not. I also prefer the bucket power front seats with the extended center console but that seems to have gone away. Big yawn on the wheels on this truck.

that etorque system is the reason why I started looking else where ... they try to stick that sucker into anything they don't want to sell to much off ... idk whats with r&d I get they are trying something and I mean it's better then putting a 4cyl like chevy did but still horrible ... not actual MPG gains, no actual throttle gains super headaches with glitches ... kinda a dead system to kill off a line up then say no1 wants to buy it ...

My 22 Laramie with some options was cheaper. Make the price make sense again

Going down the road a 2014 looks like a 2024. 10 years and they still look the same?

I will keep my 22 chevy colorado with its whining and howling rear end thanks....

Ben, youre right about the "strange decontenting"! The eTorque Hemi is great, but no power seat or digital dual zone climate for that price is weird. But, Hey! The UAW gets a 40% raise and 20% fewer hours! Where can i apply?

I thought the engine would be the new hurricane eng8ne fir 2024

2024 Ram 1500 Big Horn Lone Star 5.7L V8 Hemi eTorque 8-Speed Automatic Crew Cab 4X4!

lol....no mention of MPG or about the "etorque" and its complexities.

58000 is dirt cheap?

From its interior and its front and the wheels it seems that it is replacing the ram classic

I would pay about $37,000.00 dollars on the road.

My 2023 Silverado lt cost 10k less than that ram and has wayyyy more features. Shame because ram used to be the go to of the big 3 for value vs features.

Can this beat a 5.7 Hemi on the track.

Still overpriced though

What am I missing. My 2022 bighorn has big display in dash and font and back sensors. This is a downgrade.

why you would pay extra for a big horn that doesn't have power seat is beyond my comprehension. It can't be that much more.

No way the 18 is right,I’ve had rams v8 for 6 years now and at best 15

Anytime I see a tagline “affordable” or “cheap” I click on it and come away drastically disappointed.

How the hell is 57k affordable? What would your yearly income have to be to make this affordable? What a joke!

Can you do 2024 Laramie level b night edition please???

The chrome bumpers and the blacked out handles and mirrors just doesn’t look right to me.

The decontenting is unfortunate but it's a sign of the times- pay more and get less. The Finance Director (aka the Mrs.) has 2020 1500 Big Horn Level 2 trim and it's better equipped than this one ( heated seats/steering wheel, power adjustable pedals, power lumbar/power driver's seat, Park Sense front and rear, 20" wheels, rear fender liners, dual zone climate control, 3.92's etc., etc.) .... most everything that's included in the current Big Horn Level B trim package except for the 12" screen. The same truck now will have an MSRP 10K higher .... that's not sustainable. Glad we got it when we did. And it's not going to get better- there's a better than good chance the UAW will go on strike plus the gov't's insane push to EV's will lead to a new round of bankruptcies. This isn't going to end well.

$57k and you have manual seats? Ram value 📉 too busy focusing on the Revolution.

$60k is the opposite of affordable

Only a sucker

This is stupid money for what you get

But it's a dodge

Omg… talking so fast… slow down

this truck is a joke
