Had my 13 outdoorsman qc 5.7 since around 2014, was fantastic truck. Never broke a thing, only work was 2 minor things under warranty shift solenoid and broken bolt on exhaust. Now, decided to upgrade and bought a 2021 Bighorn QC, 5.7, 4x4, tow package, night edition, etc. Came with a few extras. I don't like white vehicles, but I saw this truck and had to have it. Something about the white and everything else blacked out. Usually I go all out in appearance etc, but only plans I have is different side steps, a different bull bar, more flush custom looking type that fits around tow hook area, get tow hooks and want to install drl better looking headlights. I had the alpine system in my 13 and this one has the base 6 speaker with 8.4 screen, sound quality is ugh in comparison, prob only thing that is not great so far. One question, does the truck look lifted, seems a lot higher than my 13 outdoorsman. The wheels are 20 inch Weld off road fortress wheels with 285/60/20 tires.

Your right about the white with the night edition and your Ram does look like it at least has a leveling kit and updated headlights would make a world of difference. I’ve got a 21 Ram 1500 limited w/ night edition and it Quartz grey mettallic which has some green in the black grille, let me know if you’ve seen the green in the blacked out trim pieces and enjoy yo9ur Ram and there’s a lot of 12” upgraded screens for a little over $1k to $2.5k

Already added Bilstein 5100s front and back, new side step, sumo springs in rear and misc interior pieces. Now working on audio, jbl 3 way in back, kenwood 6x9 + 3.5 component set up front and in next week putting in a infinity dsp amplifier(found one for $70 on ebay factory refurbished). Going to try to wire it all, power, speakers etc at anc ..the amp is only 15 amps, so using the hot wire from the anc it is 25 amps. The amp has high level inputs that sense when sound to turn amp on and rca's out to add subwoofer amp etc. For $70 and $15 ch01 harness worth a try, is less power than key amp, but can handle 2ohms. Later if I add a sub, just need to run wire to battery.
