Honestly, it's more shocking to me that an XLT is seventy thousand dollars.

I moved over from Ford to Ram and couldn't be happier. I got a great deal and the Ram sales guy even let me take it to a Ford dealership 40 miles away to compare the two vehicles side by side. When I returned the Ram, I found myself not wanting to get out which speaks to the much superior ride of the Ram (which I don't believe was discussed?) So for 10k more your'e' getting the best interior in the market, and one hell of a smooth ride. That 8-speed tranny is so smooth and the HEMI noise that big V-8 produces beats the snot out of a twin turbo V-6. All that for me, is what makes the Ram worth it. I was a bit shocked the XLT came in @ 68K.

I got my 2020 ram used about 2 years ago. It’s a bighorn level 2 package so it has heated seats ,heated steering,tow package ,sensors in the tail lights and upgraded 10 speaker sound system. It’s a beautiful truck and drives amazing. Ford and Chevy couldn’t compare for the price I paid.

It's crazy how much truck prices have went up in the last year or two. I would like to see sales drop significantly and see how the manufacturers react, but it seems like no matter how high prices go, people still buy them.

Interesting comparison. Every time I see the new pricing on these trucks I feel fortunate buying a new truck in 2020 for 36k after discounts and rebates. Though I do think in the not too distant future you’ll start to see substantial rebates and incentives as demand slows and supply increases. Either way I’m keeping my 2020 for a minimum of 10 years. I don’t think I could handle writing a check for 60k plus for a truck without feeling ill.

Just bought a 21’ XLT crew cab long bed 5.0 V8 for $47,927 with under 8k miles on it. Not a bad deal and absolutely could not be happier. Loving my Ford

Great job reviewing two different trucks with two totally different packages. Problem is, if you take a RAM Big Horn/Lone Star which is more comparable to the Ford XLT and spec it to the Ford you had, the Ram was about $8k less than the Ford. On the other hand, if you go up to a Ford Lariat, which is more comparable to a Ram Limited, the Ford is about $6k more than the RAM. Not saying anything about these trucks, as both are very capable, it's just not an apples to apples comparison.

These prices are just crazy. I thought they were insane a few years ago when I bought my 2021 Tremor. Just built one online for comparison- over $10k increase for the same truck…. except you actually get less now with deleted options due to chip shortages. The industry has to change or face collapse imo, there just aren’t enough buyers who can afford (or are just stupid enough) to pay these prices.

Nathan, thank you for addressing the problem with bloated pricing and not just saying something tone deaf like “Compared to XYZ, this is a bargain” 👍

I much prefer the knob shifter over the Ford. I've had the Ford and currently have the ram. Loved both trucks but the knob frees up a lot of space in the center console and is much more practical. If Ford had done something similar, they wouldn't have had to implement a retracting shifter to make room for a center console that converts into a table top.

Just can’t believe on how much that xlt cost without leather seats, premium audio system and such premium stuff. Like you said, it comes down to options. I got a big horn back country…. With pano sunroof, 12” screen and rambox…but gave up some technology features and led headlights. So it’s true… the package is the costliest part. Just don’t know who can afford a $60-$70k truck now.

I still can't believe the prices for "these" trucks. I bought a F-250 power stroke in 2020 for -$7000 MSRP Lariat sport (no tremor) and then tricked it out myself with a 3 inch lift/level kit, wheels, and 37" tires for around $4000. $76000 all in on a truck that can literally tow a house or get 18 MPG easily on the freeway. Crazy times. As always good to see Nathan on the screen!

That two tone F-150 looks really sharp...That's an Awesome two tone finish..I would buy that just for the paint scheme..very sharp truck!!

Darn! Those are expensive!! My 2022 Silverado LT Duramax was $61k last year and I thought that was bad. I still got the max towing 5th wheel package and level 1 convenience package with heated seats and steering wheel, bed liner, remote start, power seat, and whatever else it came with. It’s basically everything that you could ever want in a truck and then some, but doesn’t have all that BS crap that jacks up the price. Personally, I wouldn’t want either of those engines anyways..

I just bought a used ‘18 Ram 1500 Big Horn w/ 29,000 miles for MUCH less than either of these. For what I spent and the options you get with the Big Horn, I think the Ram is the best value for the money!

In 2015 I bought a 2014 ram 1500 express with towing package, 8-speed transmission, 5.7L hemi, upgraded infotainment center, crew cab, 4x4 for $33k. 😅

I absolutely love the automated steps. First of all they come down lower than the fixed running board steps. Helps a lot with older arthritic knees. And the transmission dial frees up a lot of room.

I like the Ford XL trim for the standard rubber floor. The single cab, 6.5 ft.bed, 4x4 V8 with aluminum wheels, a locker and a few other things was $44,355. That’s not a bad price for a good truck.

Hey Nathan, I heard you state that ford was charging $995 for auto stop start which sounded crazy for a second. After pausing on the window sticker I noticed that the 2.0 kw inverter was right above the stop start feature. I believe you mixed those ups, why would any one option stop start for $1,000, if not was was the price of the inverter😂, loved the video, just wanted to confirm.

One thing I like about the Ram the styling just reminds me so much of a 70's D100 love the retro vibe it gives.

I was drinking coffee . . didn't spit it out but my mouth was open in shock of the Ford price lol

Great video, although I have a hard time comparing an XLT to a limited. Would have been nice to see Fords limited vs Ram Limited. In canada, I've been quoted 80K CAD for the ram limited night edition but 102k CAD for the F150 Limited (non powerboost). The ford is way nicer but man the price difference is insane!

I would love to see the total number of Trucks that are written off or depreciated for "Business's" as long as people continue to pay these prices they will never go down

Got a newer F150 XLT Crew Cab with 5.0L V8 and every option checked for under $50k. Couldn't be happier. I do plan on upgrading the cloth seat to Katzkin leather, which cost between $1,500-$2,000 depending on materials/style. Still better than buying a higher trim F150 that comes with leather seats.

Rather get the 5.0 V8 in the Ford it gets the same MPGs as the Ecoboost and I think it sounds a lot better and is a really smooth and reliable engine that is naturally aspirated don’t got to worry about a turbo

I know you say you don’t see the difference of 10k in the interior. But just adding in the options or upping the trim levels in a ford gets you way way over the rams price. Leather, cooled seats in both rows, upgraded stereo, rear view mirror camera etc. just adding those in to an xlt would make it equal in price. Add in the auto running boards , 22in wheels etc. and you’d easily eclipse 78. A ford limited trim starts at 84k. And when you option it similarly (doesn’t have many to choose from) you’re now at 89k. Neither truck is cheap. But the Rams value is still there. I shopped all the big 3 and got my 1500 limited with some specific options. - color matched bumpers , 3.92 with limited slip, 33 gallon tank. And msrp’d at 67k. With discounts and rebates my out the door was 57k before my trade in. Again a ton for a truck but for that price I’d be in a low spec xlt or xle gm twin. Not with auto boards, air suspension and a luxury interior. Keep up the awesome work, and keep giving Roman hell!

The fact that active safety tech (adaptive radar cruise, lane keep/tracing systems, etc.) that comes standard on a work truck spec, SR model Tundra costs EXTRA on both of these trucks is nuts.

Love your presentation style Nathan. Cool, calm, collected, it is like you are talking to a friendly neighbor or making an in-person presentation. Great job. The focus on accurate information and the best comparison you could do with (presumably) the two trucks available for the video shoot was a breath of fresh air compared to many TFL Offroad and Truck videos I have seen. Before I get flamed for saying that, I do enjoy the TFL videos. But sometimes they seem to go off on tangents that appear not to be well supported, presumably designed to get clicks and I would enjoy them more if they stayed "in their lane" - like you did here.

The market is super weird. I paid 52k Cad for a 2019 Lariat, low mileage, no accidents in 2021. Just saw a dealer trying to sell an equivalent 2019 Lariat in 2023 for 52k. Makes no sense, hopefully when the refreshed 2024 F150 arrives, things will get more realistic.

The comment on not liking the Rams dial shifter, you completely skipped over its biggest benefit - the MASSIVE console to store a ton of stuff. Once you can used to the dial it’s not a big deal (even for “three point turns”). I for one just see the wasted space now when other trucks use the old shifter (and gimmicky when they “fold” down to provide room for a fold out laptop tray).

I just got a Nissian Titian gasoline pro 4x. (2020) Nice ride! I got it for 41000$ OTD with 12k miles. Truck prices are ridiculous. It’s also my first truck and I’m in love !

I bought a 2022 GMC 3500 Duramax AT4 fully loaded for the same price as that Ram. Yes, brand new.

The xlt with the 5.0l would have been a better comparison in my opinion. I’m not a fan of anything less than v8 in a full size truck (gas engines). The turbocharged eco boost engines have trouble getting over 100k miles without needing repairs. I bought a 2023 xlt f150, with some different options last month and I love it. I got the 4x4 sport with the 5.0.

Not really an apple to apple comparison. Seem liked you preferred the Ford from the get go. Should of at least done the Ford xlt vs Ram bighorn. Then you would see how expensive Ford is.

I’m happy that I got my new truck in 2020 😅 and I thought it was expensive at $45k i think I’m not going to buy a new truck any time soon

Just sitting here watching & enjoying your review on these trucks & started remembering my 1st truck was a 1976 Dodge custom 100 (yes Dodge not Ram) & back then all trucks were tools now even the cheapest is pure luxury compared. And just a few of the options cost more than I paid for the whole truck with a full tank of gas.

Liking the two-tone Paint

$68k for an XLT?!? 😮

$68k for an Xlt makes me wanna vomit. I paid $33k for a loaded 302a 5.0 in 2018 and when it was totaled, I paid $44k for a preowned 2021 loaded Xlt 302a sport (6k miles) 6 months ago… which even $44k is a bit much but the sticker on that was $56k (still too much). Ford is pricing buyers out of their vehicles

I’m looking at the Classic Rams right now. They are 25% off MSRP around me.

Here in Canada, we see Ram offering good rebates and incentives and even greater on Ram Classic. Ford? MSRP $$$. I didn't want to spend over 40,500$ (CAN) for a PU so I bought a 2021 Ram Classic Express 3.6L (10,000 km) loaded with options & accessories. With Ford for the same price, it would have been a 2019-2020 with more km (40,000 km +) for the same price. 🙂 As I do approx. 10,000 km/year, I should keep it for many years. 🤓

The XLT would be same level as a Big Horn trim. Limited would be comparable to Platinum. I agree with the insane costs of these things.. The problem is, if you want a certain feature, you have to buy an expensive group of features. Example, in the Ram, if you want the interior to be 1 color and not a tan headliner, you have to spend thousands more to get the Night edition or the Sport edition. It's too bad you didn't go through the features of the Ram.. Heated steering wheel, Heated and Vented front and rear seats with that trim level. Reclining rear seats, etc.. I went with a Laramie trim because that's the lowest trim level I could get seat memory and vented seats. You get used to the dial, and the fact there is no shifter in the center console makes a TON of storage in that center console. Love the Ram I picked up,, but absolutely agree the pricing is getting out of hand.

They really should have put a slash between Eco and boost, because as it's been said with turbocharged vehicles, you either get Eco or boost, not both.

i think rams are way better looking, even if it was a limited ford

I live on a road that goes to a landfill , you would"t believe how many new trucks with 5 foot beds go by ,pulling trailers .

As a side note, its funny to think how Ram now has the best transmission on the market now with its ZF 8 speed. Mechanically speaking its the best you can get

I have a 2023 Ram Laramie with the sport package and a few other. Love the truck. It is metallic grey just like the one in this video. I shopped around before I got the Ram. Could not be happier with my Laramie.

Why won't ford just include 20 dollar plastic wheel liners... they'd have less rust issues and look miles better

When buying my Ram 1500 SLT back in 2014, they did offer a Laramie and stuff, but I chose the SLT based on my budget and chose options that will help me preserve the truck, like the bedliner, tonneau cover, etc.

It's the HERITAGE EDITION package mate, designed as a tribute to the early F series XLT models, with seat paterns/materials that replicate when cloth seating was ultra lux. Do some damn researh before hand mate. I LOVE this XLT model BECAUSE it has those cloth seats, the cool console cover and the exterior two tone paint. Plus the 20" rimes are plenty big enough !!

The last Ram truck I bought I had for 20 years and paid $23,000 for it with a lot of bells and whistles. So last year I needed to buy a new one. I ended up with a 2022 Rebel, which I love, but the sticker price of $62,000 almost gave me a heart attack and a stroke at the same time! Ended up paying $57,000 but Jeeze Louise, the price of new trucks are insane!!!!!!

The big problem with Ram is their packages will have just one option I want or need and I’ll have to get another dozen I either don’t want or don’t want to pay $3k-$5k for.

Well done comparison by Nathan. Thanks!!

For older folks, the power steps are great. They go much lower than the typical fixed step and then tuck away and look much cleaner. Mine have a bypass switch so they can be lowered in a car wash or they can be fixed so they don't automatically lower - great for off-roading. You're not a fan now because you're still young! Also, no mention of Ford's aluminum body panels. My 2018 F150 has only 4 Iowa winters under its belt and I think the aluminum will pay off in body panel longevity. We'll see. The whole "it's not steel so it's weaker" claim may be true if you're tossing engine blocks into the bed. For the vast majority of F150 owners, that's not the case. So far, the aluminum body has proven to be quieter and perfect for my use.

Both prices are painful, but I think I’m more surprised by the price of the ford. Considering it’s an xlt vs the ram being a top trim level. FWIW, I wouldn’t buy either, both overpriced for what I need/want. I almost ordered a ‘23 Lariat super duty with the 7.3, for about the same price as the xlt f150.

Okay guys, Canadian here I own a 22 F150 Sport, listed out for $68, when tri fold tonnea and Rhino liner - $72 Canadian - 3.5 eco, collision front warning, 20" with Hankook AT, trailer package, running boards, same LED head lights, heated seats, huge screen, cloth seats, awesome layout, super functional, love it, 1000 km per 120 litre tank combined Had to get a rental for a week due to vandalism.... I had to drive a 22 Ram 1500 GT Sport Etorgue..... - 90 litre tank, 17 litres per 100 km , 520 km per tank combined, how can you produce that truck, AND - no running boards, 20" with summer Dueler tires on it ???? - leather interior, heated cooled seats, tall screen, but just like Nathan said, not user friendly and......the loudest angriest exhaust you could even get !!! Not cool Sorry Ram, I will stick with my Ford, sorry guys, I don't know the MSRP for the Ram

$60k+ then a dealer might add a market adjustment price of $10k-$20k on top of that. So then they're financing a $60k truck for $70k-$80k and loan terms for 5-8 years at higher interest rates than in the past. It seems like it's hard to find anything new for just the MSRP price. Then when the person decides they want to try and trade it 2-4 years later for financial reasons or just wants something cheaper or newer. The dealer looks at the MSRP for what the vehicle is said to be worth at it's current age and says, well... It's worth $40k, but you still owe $50k-$65k on it. We can't give you what you still owe on it. Then what's a person to do, roll all that extra upsidedown money into another vehicle or just keep it and keep paying for the next 3-5 years.

Man that Ford looks Sooooooo much better

Idk bout y’all, but that baby blue colour and black on the f150 is pretty damn cool to me! I love the way they did the two tone look to it.

I’ve always been a Ford guy but this new Ram has really got my interest. I have to say Ram/Dodge is building a truly world class truck! I would buy that over the F-150 any day of the week.

The Ram is gorgeous!!

Better comparison would of been the Laramie vs the XLT. Would be interesting to compare what you get for the same trim levels. Up here in Canada we get an exclusive Sport addition which is priced with the XLT but more bang for buck imo. I also prefer the looks of the Ram 💯 more

Most people buy vehicles on monthly payment rather than total vehicle cost. If the dealer can get it in their budget through financing packages, people will buy it. The best way you protect yourself from add-on inflation, is to pay cash or go in with a pre-approved loan from your bank or credit union.

I ordered a 2023 sport loaded which in the US is a hight than Laramie I have 22" wheels leather heated and vented seats 12" display heated rear seats power everything lane assist running boards etc just no sunroof which I never used in my 2019 ram got it with 5.7 mds etorque for 60k usd and got than to take another 8k off so I am in it taxes in for for less than 50 usd glad I shopped around it took me months of negotiating but glad I got it finally .... looking at these prices it's a no Brainer . I am paying 291 bi weekly usd

What is really amazing is that here in the comments, people are bragging about the good deals they got buying used, 2-3 year old trucks (2020 or 2021 models) with 30k to 50k miles for more than I paid for my 2018 XLT SuperCrew 4x4 with the 3.5L EB brand new. Times have certainly changed and the buying public has become conditioned to accept these crazy prices.

Bought a 2020 F-150 XLT almost a year ago for $43,000 with 29,000 miles on it. Has the 3.5L ecoboost and FX4 package. Before that I’ve always owned a used base model truck. I built my truck on the Ford website to see what it would be brand new, came out to be $65,000. I honestly don’t see $65,000 worth of options on it. Truck prices are getting out of hand.

I love your review style and how straight forward you are. Keep it up! Excellent video!

Seeing these prices makes me happy I went with my bare bones ‘22 stx with the 5.0L for $20k less. Does everything a truck needs to do and has apple car play and looks cool. I can’t see myself paying $20k more for creature comforts. 80k for that ram is insane. I had a ‘21 big horn before my ford and I paid $45k for it. That thing is almost DOUBLE. INSANE!!

Just bought a aka work truck today for my personal use. Brand new 23 f150 5.0 xl regular cab longbed 2wd 3.31 locking axle. Dealer had $3,000 off.

The ram mirrors can be turned or rotated if u may for towing. It's done manually. I had a 2018 f150 and that thing spent most of its life at the dealership. In 21, I purchased the ram rebel etorque, very loaded. At 700 miles it took a dump. The etorque went out. It spent 3 months at the dealership. They couldn't figure out how to install a new etorque. 2 engineers from ram showed up. In the end, it all worked out. Ram had given me a loner and made 3 payments for me. I had to force ford into a lemon law buyback. Based on my experience, I'll take Rams customer care over ford's on any given day.

Both of these trucks are more than 60% of my annual salary! Nice but no thanks, I will keep my 16 Colorado Z71. It still looks and runs great and best of all, it’s paid off.

I priced out a 302a super crew 6.5 bed with 5.0L and 4wd for $63K. Don’t need max tow and don’t need Fx4 since I’m just looking for a good, all-weather highway cruiser. Just two years ago, that same truck was $53K.

I just checked my local dealer they are offering $7k off MSRP on all the F150's in their inventory. My own opinion, RAM is dropping the HEMI, whenever a company does that they eventually stop making replacement parts for them, I'd bet within 5 years RAM does that, no matter what the are claiming now. This is especially true for their mild hybrid system. Getting good engine parts from a third party supplier for the engine likely will be possible for quite some time but mild hybrid parts for a low-run part to begin with? forget about it. Also - wheels bigger than 19" don't belong on a 4x4 truck.

It's like comparing Ford's homemade wine, pick your fruit to RAM's Four Roses, enjoy the special occasion.

crazy. I couldn't afford any of the big truck brands. Got a 21' titan pro 4x for 58k. fully loaded.

Wish I would have went with the Ford, purchased a 2022 ram 1500 hemi last fall engine blew up before the first oil change. Dropped a valve at 6300km.

78k... yeesh. Give the working stiff a break already.

Wild. I just bought a leftover 22 XLT with almost all the bells minus the trailer assist and the trailer assist, also a sport for 49 out the door. These things are insanely priced.

The Ram does have the nicer interior. I like a fabric interior vs leather for day to day driving. The Ram Limited is hard to compare to the Ford F150. They are very different levels. The simple thing that would make me choose the F150 over the Ram is the Pro Power Onboard!! 2.0 kw of 120 Volts in the box and interior plugs is a feature I use a lot!! Camping, back country living, all are much nicer with household grade electricity. Nathan didn’t mention that the Ford has that feature. For several people I know, that is the primary reason they chose Ford over other brands. Once you have it and start using it, it’s a game changer. Powers my camper fully including the A/C because the camper has wall mounted A/C. As a “generator” the F150 is quiet compared to the comparable portable “quiet” generators out there!! It will start & stop on it’s own as needed as well. Just set the feature as active and camp away!! I don’t camp in campgrounds that already have power, I truly camp and the more remote, the better. Fewer people,,,,,,, perfection!!! 😂😂😂.

Great information. Thanks.

My loaded 2021 Ram 1500 4x4 Limited Longhorn. MSRP at $70,890. I got it for $58,890.

In the last 3 model years (2020-2022) the base price of a XLT with identical options has gone up over $8000 here in Canada - for the same truck! kind of crazy.

The Harman Kardon system in the ram has 19 speakers. Not 12

What many people don't understand with a lot of upgrades you often spend less when purchasing the more expensive model than purchasing the cheaper one and adding the equipment that is standard on the more luxury model. I used to buy XLT model trucks. The last two trucks I have bought were Lariats that have a higher base price but are cheaper with the options I want than getting those options on an XLT. Sometimes you do have to get more than you think you want with packages but you often like what you get when you get to using them. And hey, what is an extra $10 or even $20 per month. If you find a truck that has been on the lot for over 45 days sometimes, they are discounted as well. At least my trucks were making purchases a truck on the lot with more than you wanted on a truck a better deal than ordering one with less on it and having to wait on it being built. One needs to stay focused though and not go too crazy and live within their means. You don't want the repo man taking away your dream truck.

Why didn’t they compare the F150 Limited or Platinum ? They are nice inside .for the price they would have to be.

I like a nice mid trim level maybe a well optioned big horn or low level laramie. Skip the power running boards, air susptention, sunroof, leather dash. All crap that breaks and will only add to your repair bills and time at the dealer.

Thanks for the review, in plain English by a regular guy.

TFL does the best comparisons hands down

I bought my 2019 XLT 3.5 ecoboost crew cab 4by4 off road MaxTow for 41K new in 2019. Glad I bought when I did.

Ram much nicer looking as well as quality of interior. My wife's 2020 Expedition leather on the wheel is worn off already and my 2018 Ram leather on steering wheel is still brand new.

IF I had a need for a truck today, I would still NOT buy something that expensive. A truck for me is a work vehicle. Payload mover. Towing vehicle. Period. 4WD when the weather turns nasty. Or the terrain you traverse is sketchy. But nowadays it is a families runabout. So they are 4 door luxury cruisers with ridiculous 22 inch wheels and more whistles and bells than anything I have EVER owned. And the price reflects that. IF I had a family of 3 or 4, it might make sense to have a 4 door BASIC 4x4 work truck.

Would like to know payload and fuel tank size on both of these trucks. The Ford max tow should include a larger tank. Not sure on RAM.

Both trucks are very good trucks. They look awesome, and most importantly, they perform really well. I like that Ford uses aluminum all around to lower the truck's weight, achieve very good fuel economy, and increase its towing capabilities. I am a big fan of Ram's interior, the barn style tailgate, and overall classic look. However, I would still prefer the GMC/Chevy 1500 twins with the 3.0L diesel engine over the Ford's and Ram's 1/2 ton trucks. Overall, the American 1/2 ton trucks are amazing, but the trend that worries me the most - is the rising price.

There is a clear divide where dealers stock lots of white base ‘work trucks’ and everything else is a higher optioned for buyers who want an open back SUV for hobby stuff. To me it seems better to just go with a cheaper work truck and use it for truck things than trying to spend almost 2 times more for luxury. Ford XL is at a decent price and plentiful. RAM seems to be more focused on the luxury buyer. What really matters end of the day isn’t cost, but depreciation…those 100k trucks like be selling used for less than 40k in 5 years (60k lost), but the 50k work truck will be 35k+ (15k lost). If you’re actually buying a truck for work, you can’t afford the depreciation, 100k, or the wrong perception to your customer when they see what you drive. Plus if you’re actually using the truck for truck things, it’s going to get all beat and scratched up…you don’t need the fancy leather interior or LED headlights (you’re going to be driving it during the day only 90% of the time while working).

Great T Shirt!!

My 2018 King Ranch F150 was $64k. Prices have gone crazy.

The headlights and front end of the ford is what hooked me.

I ordered a new 22 xlt 302a here in canada for 65k last year and for that price point I found you got a lot more in a ford than a GM,ram or Toyota. Not to mention the the much better lease and finance rates with ford canada compared to the others

I have almost that exact RAM, mine just has the rambox and the barn door tailgate, and it's black. I've had it for a little over a year and it has been fantastic. It's my first truck, and the first truck that my family has had. We love just hopping in and going for a drive, it is very smooth and comfortable. It has become the go to vehicle when we are going out, even more that a 2021 Mercedes SUV that we also have. My three biggest problems are finding parking, the fact that it's a gas guzzler, and the AC is not cold enough. I bought it in early 2022 because I haul a lot of stuff around on a semi regular basis, and I was using my mom's old minivan for a long time. It was time to upgrade and I wanted a truck. I went to see the Tacoma first, but they were pretty expensive and they were not available at the time. I then went to RAM and I instantly fell in love with the 1500 Bighorn. It was a smallish price hike from the Tacoma, but it was tangibly better in every single way. Even though it's more expensive, it is much easier to justify the higher price of the RAM. But then shortages hit HARD and there were no RAMs available at all. Six months passed and the dealership called me and told me there was a Limited available that wasn't already previously sold. It is a huge price hike from the Bighorn to the Limited, and all of the goodies you get are very nice, but also unnecesary. I mean, you don't get any better performance, in fact you lose some payload. Yeah, the screen is nice, but I just play my music when I get in and don't look at it for the rest of the drive. The air suspension is also super smooth, but that thing won't last forever and the repair prices are insane. I personally was really looking forward to getting a Bighorn, but I ended up getting that Limited on the end. I love and enjoy it. My family absolutely loves it. It is just a great truck. I definitely recommend you to go check one out if you are moderately interested in it.

Rams are cheaper for a reason lol
