What is included in the 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn trim?

Previously, the Ram pickup was a poor relation in the full-size truck market. That changed when the brand upped its game, which helped it quickly become one of the top contenders in one of the hottest segments within the motor industry. The 2021 Ram 1500 is an exciting update on a legendary modern pickup truck.

One of the most popular options is the 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn, a performance powerhouse that lives up to its name. The truck starts you off with a powerful V6 engine that delivers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.

Other standard specs of the 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn include an eight-speed automatic transmission and fuel efficiency of 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.

Also, the standard 2021 Big Horn can hook up with the Max Diesel Tow Package, one of the unique features unavailable on the standard Laramie trim. On the other hand, the 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn interior's standard features include a remote USB port, a four-way manually adjustable driver seat, and an integrated Voice Command with Bluetooth.

The pickup truck also has a four-way manual adjustable front passenger seat, Uconnect 3 with a 5-inch display, and a four-way power lumbar adjustable driver seat. Additionally, the 2021 Ram Big Horn has excellent

safety

features, including a forward collision warning feature, hill start assist, trailer sway assist, and the parkview rear back-up camera.

If you are wondering how important

Texas

is to the full-size truck market, the answer is that the state gets a Ram 1500 trim level of its own. That happened at the Dallas Auto Show, where the 2019 Ram 1500 Lone Star was announced. So, the assumption that the Texas-only trim level would make its return became a reality then.

However, if you live in one of the other 49 states in the U.S. or in Canada, you should not feel left out. The reason is that the Lone Star is just the Big Horn trim level with a unique "Lone Star" badge and a different name. You will also discover that officially, the feature list has the badge as a package exclusively available on the Big Horn.

According to

Autoblog

, whether it is the Big Horn or Lone Star, the trim level is above the fuel economy-focused HFE and the Tradesman. As a trim level not strictly intended as a work truck, the Lone Star has a chromed exterior trim and nicer interior finishings, including cloth upholstery replacing vinyl and a leather-wrapped wheel.

Pros and cons of the Lone Star

The 2021 Ram 1500 Lone Star comes with amazing features. These include a new trailer reverse steering control, pedestrian detection, a head-up display, and a new digital rearview mirror. Also, the vehicle soaks up the road more like a luxury

sedan

than a truck and feels smooth even when driving over a battered pavement.

That makes the truck an ideal traveling automobile. So, Lone Star's handling will prove impressive whether you are maneuvering a busy highway or driving through canyons.

It is not unusual for vehicle reviewers to rave about the solid towing capabilities and strong fuel economy of such a truck's optional EcoDiesel engine. Unfortunately, adding the EcoDiesel engine to a Lone Star will push the truck's cost through the roof.

On the other hand, the Lone Star may handle like a smaller vehicle, but it takes up much space. So, if you must park in a crowded place, the truck's size may be an issue.

The best thing you can do is test drive a Ram 1500 yourself to see if it’s a good fit for you.
