The 2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star delivers a compelling value proposition by combining robust standard equipment with a competitive price for a full-size truck.
Analytical shoppers who demand maximum features for their investment will appreciate how this truck stacks up. The Big Horn/Lone Star trim provides practical benefits like a cloth bench seat, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and integrated Bluetooth voice command-all standard. For those in St. Louis facing unpredictable weather, 4WD and heated door mirrors enhance daily usability, while remote start adds convenience during cold mornings. This truck targets buyers who scrutinize spec sheets and expect real utility, thoughtful comfort, and modern tech without the premium price tag.
Performance is anchored by the 3.6L V6 24V VVT engine paired with an 8-speed automatic, delivering a strong power-to-price ratio for everyday work and personal hauling. The 4WD drivetrain increases versatility for job sites or off-road needs, while the Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle offers added traction value that is often an upgrade elsewhere. Fuel economy of 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway means owners save at the pump compared to many V8 competitors, and the 48V Belt Starter Generator system supports efficiency for long-term operating cost savings. Maintenance is straightforward, with widely available parts and proven reliability.
Safety value is a highlight, as the truck includes standard electronic stability control, ABS, multiple airbags including dual front side impact and overhead airbags, and a ParkView rear backup camera. Notably, ParkSense Front/Rear Park Assist with Stop is also standard, delivering advanced alerting and braking support that often requires stepping up trims or paying extra on rival trucks. Additional features like the emergency communication system (SiriusXM Guardian) and brake assist provide peace of mind with no added cost. The combination of these safety technologies means owners benefit from advanced protection and accident mitigation right out of the box.
The Big Horn Level 1 Equipment Group comes standard, bundling conveniences like remote keyless entry, power windows, and an overhead console. The truck features a rear 60/40 folding seat for flexible cargo options, steering wheel audio controls for safer operation, and Bluetooth for hands-free connectivity. The Protection Group adds peace of mind with enhanced durability features.
In terms of value, this truck stands out versus similarly priced full-size rivals like the Ford F-150 XLT and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT. While those competitors often require added packages for basics like a backup camera, remote start, or advanced parking sensors, the Big Horn/Lone Star includes these as standard.
What’s included as standard equipment? Key features include Uconnect 3 with a 5-inch display, ParkView rear backup camera, ParkSense Front/Rear Park Assist, remote start, Bluetooth, and the Big Horn Level 1 Equipment Group. Is this truck worth the price? Given its comprehensive standard feature list, efficient V6 powertrain, and advanced safety tech, it represents strong value in the full-size segment.
