Would installing these items yourself be an option? I got my 2018 Ram 1500 Eco Diesel 4x4 Big Horn Crew Cab brand new w/ 800 miles in like November of 2018 and came with the 8.4 Nav system non-alpine stereo system, dual lamp style halogen bulb headlights, pretty much bare minimum for a big horn over the past few years I’ve done quite a bit of upgrades by learning and doing myself. Some times it’s definitely taken 4 times as long as it should have and have had to end up walking to the auto parts store or hardware store to get something cause my truck is still on jack stands taken apart but I learned you can definitely do a lot of upgrades if your willing to take the time. I know yours is a newer year but w’ a little research and again patience I’m sure you can find ways to get around the newer years security if it’s changed from the 2018’s.
For 1500.00 you could get…..

7. PowerStop z23 package w, new slotted brake rotors, brake calipers red, new ceramic brake pads. I got on FB marketplace for $150.00 brand new in packaging.
That’s under 1500 if you have the tools and patience of course. For 2900.00 hell can go ahead and add the 35” tires I got balanced and installed $1100.00 bucks FB marketplace. SFT stage stage 1&2 handheld tune for engine and transmission. I got for $900 last year and they got deals all the time can get for cheaper.
Looking around 3k for a totally different looking truck from what you bought and exactly how you want it and nothing voids the warranty. (besides the stage 2 tune since I had to remove the stock exhaust, still have till my powertrain warranty runs out)
Couple pictures below of this evening and one when I first got it.
