2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star

The 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn (known natively as the Lone Star in the state of Texas) represents the absolute heart of Ram's half-ton truck lineup. It serves as the "everyman's truck," striking a careful balance by stripping away the expensive, delicate luxury leather of higher trims while maintaining a bold exterior stance and the high-value utility features most truck owners actually use.If you are marketing or shopping for a 2020 Big Horn/Lone Star, its highest-value selling features focus on daily comfort, excellent engine modularity, and segment-defining ride quality:1. Class-Exclusive Coil Rear SuspensionThe single biggest advantage a 2020 Ram has over a comparable Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado from the same era is how it drives down a bumpy road.The "Car-Like" Smoothness: Ram utilizes a 5-link coil-spring rear suspension instead of traditional, stiff steel leaf springs.This design drastically minimizes empty-bed rear jitter and bounce, rewarding drivers with an incredibly insulated, quiet, and plush highway cruise that feels closer to a large crossover SUV than a rugged work truck.2. Versatile Powertrain ArsenalThe 2020 Big Horn/Lone Star layout was highly customizable, allowing buyers to choose a engine that precisely fit their workload or fuel budget: The Legendary 5.7L HEMI® V8: The most popular optional upgrade, hammering out 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. It could be ordered as a standard gas V8 or with the fuel-saving eTorque mild-hybrid assist. When properly equipped with the 3.92 axle ratio, it can pull an impressive 11,300 to 12,750 lbs. The 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 (Gen 3): Re-engineered for 2020, this high-torque option yields 260 hp and a muscular 480 lb-ft of torque at very low RPMs, delivering long-range highway efficiency of roughly 29 MPG. 3. Upgraded Chrome Exterior Curb AppealThe Big Horn/Lone Star immediately upgrades the visual presence of the truck over the basic plastic look of the Tradesman work trim:Bright Trim Work: It standardizes chrome front and rear bumpers, a chrome grille surround with black inserts, and classic chrome door handles. Wheels & Fog Lamps: It ditches basic steel wheels for 18-inch cast-aluminum wheels and adds factory front fog lamps to improve bad-weather visibility and give the nose a sharper look.4. "Limo-Like" Cabin Space & Clever UtilityRams of this generation are famous for interior packaging engineering:Massive Crew Cab Legroom: If configured as a Crew Cab, the rear floor is completely flat and provides a massive amount of legroomallowing three adults to stretch out comfortably on long road trips. Massive Center Console Storage: Models optioned with the front bucket seats feature a class-leading, configurable center console. The bin features sliding cup holders, a dual-opening top lid, and dedicated phone slots with integrated charging cord channels. In-Floor Storage Bins: Hidden beneath the rear floor mats are removable, insulated "Ram Bins". They are perfect for stowing muddy tie-down straps, heavy tools, or using as a mini-cooler filled with ice.
