Which 2500 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Since little changes on 2024 Ram 2500 our recommendation remains the 2500 Big Horn (called the Lone Star in Texas). The Big Horn comes with enough standard features to be livable and is priced below the luxury trucks in the segment. It starts about several thousand dollars below the Laramie.
