Why not just buy a Laramie?
Not trying to be snarky. Just curious.

I can't speak for the OP but I wanted to buy a Laramie over a year ago, well before the shortages. There were very few around but every dealer had loads of Big Horns everywhere. I assume because the Big Horn probably hits the mark for the best bargain point in a RAM and thus are much more popular than other models. There were always about 90% Big Horns, a handful of Rebels, a couple of Limiteds, and maybe one or two Laramies, if at all.
Not satisfied with how Big Horns were equipped and not finding a Laramie on the lot I liked, I tried to special order a Laramie to my specs but the dealers would not budge on the price for an ordered truck, the prices
were much higher than comparable 1500's on the lots. That held me back for three months.
I ended up with a fully equipped 2021 Night Edition Limited (with almost every option) that I found in a dealer's inventory. That coincided with a sale RAM had going on and I got it for around the same price as what an ordered Laramie would have cost. A heck of a bargain that I just couldn't turn down.
Buying a RAM in a dealer's inventory is usually a lot less expensive than ordering one because they'll deal on those. Since there are not usually a lot of Laramie's in inventory, buying a Big Horn is much easier and you'll get a much better price if you don't mind how it's equipped.
