I just bought a new truck. It's a 2022 Bighorn CCLB. I really like it. At first the 5th gens really didn't do anything for me but that changed. I love the chrome. I still think the 4th gen look better without it (Express & Sport) and the 5th with it. But again that's only my opinion.

The mods on my short list are step bars so my wife can get in it, bed liner, and a tonneau cover. Some other mods I did to my last truck don't need to be done to this one because it has them. Mainly the brake controller, class 4 receiver, and remote start. The rest is up in the air. Here are some outside pics from my driveway and some inside from my test drive.

Box up all of those tags and covers and window stickers for when it's time to sell it. People like me pay a premium for that stuff.

If you look, closely, in the Houses front window, pretty sure I can make out Martians or, more likely, your neighbors turned Green with Envy.

Yep its still called Delmonico Red.

Thanks guys. I'm loving this truck. The only thing I don't like is that it only has one 12v cig plug outlet and it's on the top of the dash. I have a radar detector and a dash cam that uses those plugs as well as a monitor for my rear view camera on my trailer, but I only use that when I'm towing.

I'll have to either get some adapters or an extention or hardwire a couple of things. They have a ton of options on Amazon. Just one more project. I'll probably get an extention for the cig outlet first so I can plug both in down low. Right now I have a double outlet plugged in up top and the wires are just hanging there.

YUP, I have a "19 Bighorn 1500, same problem. U would need to pull cover under steering wheel to get to fusebox to change the Cig Plug to constant 12V, well at least on mine it is keyed, not constant, if that works for U. I think fuse 54, but do not quote dis dumb Boird, LOL (will be 2 position fuse).

It wasn't until I read this that I realized I also only have the one 'cigarrete lighter' outlet. Oh well, with the USB ports it's not an issue for me to charge phones/ipads

Nice truck! Mine's a '21 Bighorn Night Edition. I'm missing the brake controller, but will be installing that next year a long with a few other bits.
