Ram offers this version of the Ram 1500 with six different configurations. First, you must choose between a Crew Cab and a Quad Cab. Both have two rows of seats, although the Crew Cab has two full-size rear doors, giving you more legroom in the back. In addition, you can seat up to six passengers in every Ram 1500 Big Horn truck since the front row comes with either a bench seat or a pair of bucket seats. Next, you can choose a short bed with a 5’7” box or a standard bed with a 6’4” box on Crew Cab models. If you choose the Quad Cab, a 6’4” box is standard. Finally, you get to choose between a 4×2 and a 4×4 drivetrain. Choosing the 4×2 gives you better fuel economy, while the 4×4 provides better overall traction.
What Are the Engine Options?
No matter which configuration you choose on your 2024 Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star, you will get a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar eTorque V6 engine. This comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The eTorque is a mild hybrid system that utilizes a 48-volt lithium-ion battery powering an electric motor. The gas engine has a dual overhead camshaft configuration with four valves per cylinder. This gives this powertrain a combined output of 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque.
If you decide you want a little more power on your Big Horn/Lone Star, you can opt for the available 5.7-liter HEMI eTorque V8 engine, also with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This also features the eTorque hybrid system, so you can boost your engine’s output while also reducing fuel consumption. The engine is nicknamed the Eagle and has 16 valves for its 8 cylinders. This boosts the output of this truck to 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
Choosing between these two engines depends on your own personal needs. The smaller V6 engine will give you better fuel economy and improved payload hauling capability, while the more powerful HEMI V8 provides more trailering capacity. If you choose the 2024 Ram 1500 with the V6 engine, you can tow up to 7,730 lbs and carry up to 2,300 lbs of cargo while averaging about 22 MPG in combined fuel economy if you opt for the 4×2 drivetrain. Choosing the more powerful HEMI V8 allows you to tow up to 12,750 lbs while carrying 1,940 lbs in the payload bed. This engine gives you 20 MPG in combined fuel economy with a 4×2 drivetrain.
How Does the Big Horn/Lone Star’s Style Set It Apart From Other Models?
The Big Horn/Lone Star trim of the 2024 Ram 1500 has a very aggressive profile. The front grille is massive, with a set of headlights framing the front end. This model rides on a set of 18-inch aluminum wheels. You can also choose 20-inch wheels as an available option. This trim also features a massive chrome front bumper. Ram gives you eight amazing colors to choose from including Flame Red Clear-Coat and Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat. This allows you to choose a color to match your taste.
The interior of this truck helps it stand out from other similarly priced pickups. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped, giving you exceptional grip. It also has built-in audio controls, so you can utilize the features of the infotainment system without taking your hands from the wheel. The seats come with a tasteful cloth fabric, but you can opt for heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. These will come in handy when driving your truck on cold mornings.
Ram provides a number of comfort and convenience features on this trim level. For example, you can get a dual-pane panoramic sunroof on Crew Cab models of the Big Horn/Lone Star. This will allow more light into the cabin on sunny days. You can also improve the storage space in your truck. The available in-floor storage and rear-seat fold-down center console increase the utility of your truck if you choose these options.
What Tech Can You Find in This Model
Ram has used technology to help the Big Horn/Lone Star stand out from the pack among full-size trucks. This innovation helps out by offering you improved infotainment and safety options. This will be something that is especially important to Concord drivers who are looking to use their Ram 1500 as a family vehicle.

You can also stream your favorite music, keeping everyone entertained on the way to a thrilling afternoon at Great Wolf Lodge Water Park.
You can also choose a Uconnect 5 NAV system with either an 8.4-inch or expansive 12-inch touchscreen.

The Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star has a 6-speaker stereo system, which is configured to deliver great audio output throughout the passenger cabin. However, if you are a true audiophile, you are sure to want the available nine-speaker system, which also comes with a subwoofer.
Not all of the technology on this truck is for fun. Ram is also dedicated to providing you with a truck that provides for passenger safety. All Big Horn/Lone Star models have a set of airbags to shield the passenger compartment in the event of a collision. The truck also has ABS brakes to prevent lockup, especially during inclement weather conditions. The standard Electronic Stability Control will help reduce skidding when turning, cornering, or braking, while the Electronic Roll Mitigation feature will keep the truck steady.
Ram also offers a number of active driver assistance features on this truck. If you are considering a 2024 Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star for your family, you are probably going to want to add these to your truck. Forward Collision Warning will alert you to an imminent front-end collision, which will then trigger the Active Braking system to bring your truck to a safe stop or reduce any damage caused by an unavoidable accident. There is also an available Pedestrian Emergency Braking feature. This acts in the same way at slower speeds, allowing you to avoid striking a pedestrian who steps in front of your truck.
Finally, you can get LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. One of the most common causes of highway accidents is vehicle drifting. A minor distraction may cause a driver to accidentally drift into an adjacent or oncoming lane. When this occurs, LaneSense will sound an alert to get your attention while using slight steering adjustments to safely get you back in your lane.
