Which 2500 trim does Edmunds recommend?
While we're impressed with the new-for-2023 Ram 2500 Rebel, our recommendation remains the 2500 Big Horn (called the Lone Star in Texas). The Big Horn offers the greatest breadth and depth with regard to configurations and equipment, which means you can stick to a tight budget or spend extra to tailor the truck through appearance, capability, comfort, and technology upgrades.
