Anyone trade up from a 2019 to a 2025?

I have a 2019 Big Horn w/ e-torque. 45k Miles. "Sport" paint (Painted bumpers, no chrome anywhere)

In the 4+ years I've owned it... Only a couple issues/gripes
* Had a body mount go bad that was incredibly annoying to root cause and fix
* Auto stop/start failed to start once in extreme cold weather (don't know if it's weather related, but it was zero F)
* Noisy lifters when cold

Overall it's certainly the most comfortable vehicle I've ever owned. Don't need to tell you guys about that, you already know.


I've been considering a 2025 Big Horn (Level 2 Package; bigger screen, lane assist, parking sensors, giant pano roof, heated seats, etc).

Drove one yesterday. Sad that V8's aren't available.

Anyone else made the jump?


I miss having a Wrangler... so I'm going to drive a new one and see if that motivates me one way or another.
 
I traded my 2019 big horn with 71,000 miles in on a 2025 Laramie. So i am happy with it, honestly the screen I could take or leave but it does look nice. I do miss the hemi sound but I've been impressed with the hurricane power and smoothness. So far no issues or check engine lights afer 4,500 miles. I know some others have had check engine light issues.
 
I had a 2019 Laramie sport, it was t-boned totaled after 5/12 years - 37,500 miles. I had zero issues. Just the Nucnece software-related stuff.
Have owned the 25 Big Horn SST. No CEL so far. Overall I like it. the SST engine is great.
Get the level 2, tow pckg equipment. My dealer had BH with level 1 stuff at the time I was forced to buy mine. I miss the amenities on level 2.
 
I had a 2019 a while back. The SST is a lot better than my e-torque was. More responsive, more torque at lower rpm. Interior quality seems better too. Lifter issues in the 5.7 aren't likely to get better.
Good luck with your decision.
 
On my quick test drive, the additional low end power was certainly noticeable compared to the 5.7. It could break the tires loose on a roll. No chance the hemi could do that.
 
I pulled the trigger on a 25 Limited, I thought you were going to have to pry my 2020 Limited Hemi from cold dead hands but no, this drive train is pretty awesome. Not to mention in sport mode this thing hauls @ss. Mileage seems to be a little better, but requires premium. I found one with Equipment package A with hands free driving, works pretty good. It’s a much more refined truck overall, it’s just super quiet without the Hemi. I think the seats in the 19-24 are softer and more plush, but that may be because of the massaging seats. There are a few other things but overall they knocked it outta the park IMO.

That's a great upgrade! Congrats
