So they are making the sport in the US now? Or is it something unique to the big horn?

No, the sport package is also available on the Laramie. That's the only 2 models I've seen it on so far

View attachment 154329 Loving mine! Just picked it up a couple weeks ago. Has the North Edition which is a cool combo of add ones. Didn’t think they could get better than my 2015 but this truck is amazingly smooth and quiet. Really liking the interior changes.


I love the CC 6.4 bed combo. This is my second truck built like that. Very practical

Well, I did it, came over to the dark side, lol. Really loved my 2018 Ram 2500, but due to some health issues for me and my wife, the hight and firmness of the suspension became too much. So, I ended up getting a new Bighorn Sport.

Only 48 miles on it so far, but wow! The refinement is indescribable! I took a slight hit on the 18, since I only had it 9 months, but I think it will be worth it.

Took the wife to dinner, and she was so impressed. I don't believe I will have any regrets.


That truck is bad ass....Thanx for the *****...

Check your driver-side carpet for moisture ASAP following a car wash or rain weather. Reach under the carpet / insulation.

A LOT of these trucks have this issue.

Well that's great advice. Half-advice. What's the solution if he finds wet? Take it to dealer? What do they do to fix it?

Sorry here's the other half. If you find your carpet it wet, you should take it back to the place you bought it so they can check it out and see why it is leaking. Hope that helps.

I've owned 5 Cummins 2500's and one 6.4, loved them all, and surprisingly, I don't miss them at all
