    I've got a '22 Rebel but I think this off road package is a great option for the Big Horn. It's almost a Rebel and almost as capable , but, less expensive. Bill from Linglestown Pennsylvania

      Exactly just a really nice option for someone looking for more off road performance

    I have a 2020 Off Road North Edition. Absolutely flawless truck. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Not a hint of a problem with it after 110k.

    I bought my 2017 used in 2018 and was lucky enough to have every feature a 2017 Rebel came with that could still be had on an Express. The BW44-45 transfer case, limited slip rear diff, 3.92 gearing... and I had no idea until I started learning about off-roading afterward. Ingot super lucky.

    As a 2021 Ram owner, the truck, used in an offroad setting, is easily one of the trucks of all time.

    I’ve got a 2021 Ram Bighorn 4x4 Off-road North addition. It has everything you mentioned plus weathertech type floor mats and block heater. I purchased it new in November 2021. A few months ago I had it leveled with Rough Country leveling struts plus added General Grabber 35s. Looks great and is awesome off road.

    A year ago, I found a new, custom-ordered (but never purchased) '22 Tradesman 5.7 1500 with a 6'5" bed and the Off Road Package. We didn't want the to have to replace an eTorque battery. Ever. It has the BW44-45 transfer case but not unfortunately not the 3.92 rear end. So far, so good. I do agree with all your likes of this package.

    The off road package comes with 32" tires, where the Rebel comes with 33's. I have a 21 Big Horn and upgraded to 33's right away. Mine also came with 3.92 gears from the factory. Now it's basically a Rebel minus the leather.

    The problem with rams website is that to package shit together they don’t let you do a la carte very easily. Doing off-road probably requires some other level up package and takes away other packages selected. It was very frustrating

    • @GettysGarage

    My 2019 had the off road package with air ride. It was a steal at the price. Never had a problem with the e locker or the air ride. With the air ride and the Off road package you were already inch higher from the factory so you did no get as much raise with the air ride system. The 3.92 gears came in my 2019.

    Absolutely a great deal I got a 2023 ram 1500 lone star(big horn)in June with the 4x4 package, 3.92 gearing, night edition, 33gal tank, level B package(large 12inch center touch screen), and a few other goodies and absolutely gotta get that hemi especially since they are discontinuing the hemi. It sounds great and the power is awesome msrp came out to 64k and ended up getting it for 50k cause they had a bunch of incentives at the time also if you go on rams website and price and build, sometimes there will be a pop up offer for a limited time code that you show the dealer for $1,000 off sadly I don’t think they have the 4x4 package anymore tho

    The biggest downside to the off road pkg, is they seem to squat more than regular trucks. I know mine does. Also, the off road group is available on a base model truck, meaning you can build one for $20k less than a Rebel.

    • @GettysGarage
      @GettysGarage  Рік тому +1

      Bingo! This package will bring so very very close to what the rebel has. If you built a truck with 3.92 gears, off road package and the non 4wd auto T-case, you basicly have a ram rebel without the fancy stickers

      @TheGettyAdventures My 2020 Bighorn, has the North Edition package. It included the off road group, minus skid plates, plus the sport group, minus the hood. Total cost, was $1900, which saves you $600 over buying them separately. I really wish I could've got the real t-case though. They only offered the 4 auto in my truck.

    • @GettysGarage

      Led lights can sometimes cause havoc on traditional headlight circuits because they don't provide as much resistance as a normal headlight bulb would. Basically, there is not enough voltage drop and often times they don't work.

      It's a clutch pack transfer case. Works great for the average owner but any serious off-roading will overheat it. The reason is so you can have 4wd auto. I personally don't like it but I think alot of people like the ability to just have truck do the work and not have to worry about it
