    Traded my '21 Bighorn "Off Road" for a '22 G/T

    I think they made the GT for the people who complain about the dial shifter. I'm glad the majority of trims kept the dial. I think most people like it. The interior of my Ram is the main reason I bought the truck. I love all the storage space. I had a column shifter in every truck I've ever...

    Poor gas mileage

    Btw- it is terrible for your motor to let it idle for extended periods of time. That's why u never want to buy an old cop car at an auction! 2 or 3 minutes is plenty for the fluids to lubricate everything before taking off. If your cold put on a hat & gloves ! Before anyone comments & says...

    Poor gas mileage

    People who say they are getting well below the sticker are not taking into consideration how long they are letting their truck sit & idle in the driveway before going somewhere. Reset your thing as soon as u actually pull out of the driveway. I have no problem getting close to what the sticker...

    Poor gas mileage

    This must be a joke or your smoking something. I got the exact same truck but I have a 2020. I even got the 3.92 gears & I never get worse than 15 mpg city driving it like Dale Earnhardt! I can easily get 19 or 20 mpg highway no problem.

    2020 Limited -> 2022 TRX?

    Take the money u would spend on that TRX & donate it to charity. We will only be on earth maybe 80 yrs give or take, but we can make a lasting impression.

    What do you do with your fob?

    Yeah, I don't know about that. I read several articles from different sources that said only let your vehicle idle for 30 seconds to 1 min. Then drive it but don't slam on the gas until it's fully warmed up. If u let it sit in your driveway & idle gas can get in the cylinder wall & since it's a...

    What do you do with your fob?

    Yes, I've recently read several articles that say letting your truck idle is terrible for your motor. Gas gets in the cylinder wall, washes the oil away. I never knew that. I don't know why everything has remote start these days if it's prematurely wearing out the motor ?

    What do you do with your fob?

    I put mine in the slide out tray area where the change holder is or in the winter it's inside my zipper pocket on my Carhartt jacket. There is only 1 thing I would like added to my Big Horn & that's keyless entry. It sucks pulling out my fob when it's -10 below zero to hit the unlock button.

    Halogen Headlight Upgrade: Your preference and would you do it again?

    Who is complaining about spending $1,400 on LED lights ? I'd do it in a heartbeat if mine didn't come with LED from the factory. Best $1,000 I ever spent in my life. I absolutely can not stand the Big Horns with the Halogen lights. I've noticed 2022 Laramie trims with Halogen lights now too at...

    Halogen Headlight Upgrade: Your preference and would you do it again?

    So it looks like the OEM LED's are $1,400. That ain't bad at all. They are $1,000 if u get them on your truck from the factory but from what I understand u can't get a BH with LED's anymore? I think the Halogen housing is hideous looking. It ruins the whole truck imo. My BH looks so much nicer...

    Anyone else annoyed by the "side pockets" on the center console? Ideas for them?

    I love all the cool storage areas in these trucks. Love putting a gallon of milk in the center counsel. I also will put my gallon water cooler there when driving to work. It's the perfect spot. Everywhere else it ends up falling over mid drive. The skinny spot u guys are talking about I put a...

    Poor gas mileage

    I got 20,000 miles on my truck right now also. I'm not in a hurry to get tires. Have u seen how much tires have gone up in the last 6 months ? Descent tires are almost $300/each right now. Like everything else, inflation has hit the rubber industry. Trying not to buy anything right now until...

    Poor gas mileage

    I'll replace them when they are around 4/32 or 5/32. Obviously I'm not going to risk my safety or the safety of others. Probably get 40 something thousand out of the stock tires I bet.

    Poor gas mileage

    Me personally no. I buy a container of folgers for $8 & it lasts my wife & I about 3 weeks. I just see the line 15 cars deep at Starbucks everyday when I drive by it. I see all the people pissing away money on different things. I'm a minimalist & probably one of the most frugal people on the...

    Three questions about my new 2021 Big Horn

    I actually use my truck for work in construction & it doubles as my personal truck. No dents or dings yet, but I know it's inevitable. Lots of scratches though. I think they are mostly from driving down ski trail roads deer hunting. As far as gas mileage goes, I just can't believe the amount of...

    Three questions about my new 2021 Big Horn

    The guy goes from a Honda CRV to a Ram 1500 & then says he's suffering with only getting 20 mpg 🙄🥱🤭 no suffering would be sleeping in a cardboard box digging in a dumpster for lunch. Your driving a $50,000 truck. If u don't like the gas mileage sell it & get something else. As far as scratches...
