2024 Ram 3500 Crew Cab Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2024 Ram 3500 is available in five main trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Limited Longhorn and Limited. There are also three cab styles — regular cab, crew cab and Mega Cab (the extra-large crew cab) — and either a standard bed (6 feet 4 inches) or a long bed (8 feet) but limits to how you can combine each trim, cab and bed. Four-wheel drive is optional on certain trims. Keep reading for a breakdown of the 3500's engines and features.
Which 3500 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Since little changes on 2024 Ram 3500 our recommendation remains the 3500 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.
