Big Horn, Big Fun
Recently bought the Big Horn edition. Was a little gun shy about buying a Dodge have always been a Ford guy so far seems like a good buy. The only issue so far is the rear end seems a little light seems to hydroplane easier then it should. Truck came with Goodyear HP's so I know it's not cheap tires. If anyone has an idea what may be the cause please remark. Overall we like our Ram truck!

The Big Dawg
Initially, loved the features, found that for the money, no passenger electric seat, very limited driver electric seat, no automatic headlights (hugely annoying), rides a lot rougher than my Chevy, 5.7 hemi hesitates way too long when you punch the gas, I expected more. But I love the storage in the cab, great room, bigger bed than other trucks, great power for towing, great exterior design, very fun to drive.
Big Kid Toy
New off the lot in Sept 08. 4X4 shift on the fly, auto trans, Lone Star package (20 inch rims, Goodyear HP tires, power seats, Etc.) 2000 miles to date. I reached 21 MPG on the highway at 65 MPH after I installed the K&N air filter. Not too bad for a 4X4 with 310 HP. Actual fuel mileage is 14 with a 30/70 mix of city and highway. Traded my 07 Reg cab Chevy Work truck, could not be happier. Never thought I would be a Dodge Man.
4x4 ... Really?
I bought a 2008 1500 SLT Quad Cab Big Horn Edition 4x4 near the end on Jan. I couldn't beat the price and it looks great. The truck runs great but I screwed up when I bought this truck since it has the On-Demand 4x4 system. I warn you all do not buy a truck with these system it WILL go out and dodge has not found a fix yet. I like the truck but hate the 4wd system. It has went out 3 times in the last month. I have not went off road with the truck at all but with this system as soon as you use it a few times it will not engage the 4wd at all or it will lock in low side and not come out. I hope that dodge finds a fix soon or they will be buying back a lot of trucks due to the lemon laws.
