New 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn price shocker? By Tim Esterdahl Published: 2024-01-26T22:02:53+00:00 Updated: 2025-07-23T15:11:07+00:00 ![Featured image]() If you are out shopping for a new truck, you’ll be shocked like I was when I found out the new 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn price I’m going to pay. Every year I try to buy a new truck for the business. It works out great for new videos, comparison videos and I get to experience all the new owner pain points with a new truck. This year, I decided to buy a [2025 Ram 1500]() Big Horn. ### **\[Related post: [Round table on buying trucks, being an auto journalist]()\]** For those who follow the business closely, you know I also want a [2024 Toyota Tacoma]() Trail Hunter. This year might be a split year with getting both. [Embedded video]() ## **2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn Price Shocker** Sitting down with the salesman, I was able to order the truck with the features I wanted. Interestingly, there was a price listed as well. While it was supposedly leaked a few weeks prior, I now have a real price. First, it is a crew cab, 5-foot, 7-inch bed, 4WD with the new 3.0-liter inline 6 “Hurricane” turbo engine. That engine produces 420 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque. The maximum payload is 2,000 pounds and max towing of 11,580 pounds depending on trim level and features added on. I went with cloth seats, Ram boxes, towing packages and a technology package. I also opted for the Big Horn equipment package 2. This all added up to $72,575, plus whatever destination charge they will tack onto the purchase. ### \[Read more: [2025 Ram 1500: Bring on the Hurricane (First Drive)]()\] I know this is way too much for a Ram Big Horn, but I wanted all the bells and whistles for more things to review. I’ll learn more on pricing in a few weeks, and I’m told the pricing has actually gone down with the way they have packaged things. I’ve uploaded all the packages, prices and information I have into a [PDF here](). The new 2025 Ram 1500 goes into production February 12, 2024, and I’ve been told the Big Horn trim will be one of the first off the line. ## **Why go with the 2025 Ram 1500?** My buying reasons for the Ram 1500 are pretty simple. First, I’ve wanted a Ram truck for a few years now, and I had already bought a [2021 Ford F-150](), [2022 Toyota Tundra]() and a [2023 Chevy Silverado 1500](). The only options left were a GMC Sierra 1500 or a Nissan Titan. The [Nissan Titan]() is out since they aren’t building it anymore, and the GMC Sierra 1500 is too close to the Chevy Silverado 1500. Next, the Ram 1500 and the 2024 Ford F-150 were the newest full-size trucks on the market this year for significant changes (not just a new paint color). That further narrowed it down. I reached out to Ford to find out production dates, and I wasn’t given a really firm answer. With the Ram 1500, I was given a firm date on production and an idea when I might get it. This really cinched the deal. ## **The bottom line** This is going to be pretty fun experiencing owning a Ram 1500 for the first time. What do you think? Smart choice or dumb decision? ## Related vehicle coverage - [2025 Ram 1500]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/01/just-ordered-new-2025-ram-1500-big-horn-price-shocker/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/01/just-ordered-new-2025-ram-1500-big-horn-price-shocker/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "Just ordered!
