Yes, it’s possible, and a very popular addition. It’s fairly cheap and easy to add:

Adding Passive Entry: How-to

If you've seen the original thread on adding passive entry, HERE, you are likely well aware of the issues with getting it to work on the newer trucks that didn’t come with it from the factory. This thread will walk you through getting it to work on the 5th gen DT’s (and the HD trucks) just as it...

You can’t honestly tell us that you have no idea what he actually meant.

Never hurts to ask.

I was appalled this is not an automatic function that is added at the factory. Thanks for the info

I think it's only "standard" on Laramie and up.



Doesn't look like you can get it on a Bighorn from the factory, as it doesn't seem to be included in any package. Definitely odd

Always been that way even on the 4th Gens. If all those extra were available on the lower trims nobody would buy the upper trim levels which are the biggest profit makers.

I had proximity entry on my last two Laramie’s. Sometimes I miss it but not really that big of a deal otherwise I would have done the conversion by now.

When I priced out my truck a year ago a Laramie and Limited with same options was within $500 in price.
Besides Tradesman if that even counts the Bighorn is an entry level trim.
Laramie, Rebel, Longhorn, Limited all can get the same options for the most part from what I can tell.

I would of assumed the Bighorn come with just a fob and akey with no push button start.

I have push button start. I also have everything in my Bighorn my Laramie’s had except for proximity entry, ventilated cool seats, rain sense wipers and auto high beams. Most can be very easily added. My seats are upgraded leather/vinyl with cloth inserts. Every bit as nice as my Laramie’s ever had. Even the upper trim levels don’t have what’s considered “real” leather. It’s more a vinyl leather replica.

My Limited has real leather seats
No cloth on mine at all.

Dodge/Ram doesn't make a vehicle without push button start that I know of

I know, not anymore.
I would expect proximity entry to be part of any car\truck if it has a push button start without needing to insert a key or fob, IE no reason to have a key, and in turn take it the fob out of your pocket. But alas it is not.

I don't carry the excessively large fob in my pocket, so I never have to take it out. Clips to belt loop.

Same difference.
