"Big Horn"
At least there's dignity in King Ranch, "Big Horn" is like the 17 year old kid with zits cracking jokes about his ***** with his Mopar hat, overalls, and old Oakley's.
I've always drifted towards Ford, test drove some Rams, no, didn't feel right, Chevy, same thing (is this the same instrument cluster from 1992?), Ford, yeah, that works.

Sorta, I just didn't really expand on it.
"King Ranch", IMO, is a great fusion of concept and product; ranch, pick up, king. One easily visualizes, well, a ranch, running horses, huge swaths of property, mud, truck, and the Ranch forehand going out in the best truck to check everything out as the hurricane comes in.
Absolutely brilliant IMO, but "Big Horn"? The army of marketing folks over at Dodge couldn't come up with anything better? What does one think of when they see "Big Horn"? A Ram with BIG HORNS, one of those stupid bicycle horns, except the black rubber part is as big as a basketball? Or, of course, the teenager with zits pointing at his crotch? Heck, should have just called it the "Cowboy" edition with a rope and lasso logo. Or, the "Big Sky Mountain" edition, heck I just came up with two right there infinitely better. But "Big Horn"????
Truthfully, I remember looking at some Rams, honestly, I couldn't obviously tell what the difference was. King Ranch is clearly obvious even if you don't know the product line, you know King Ranch is probably towards the upper part of the spectrum.

You do realize the Big Horn/Lonestar Edition is not a competitor to the King Ranch. The Big Horn is equivalent to the XTR in Canada and the Texas Edition in the U.S. Ram's competitor to the King Ranch is the Laramie Longhorn.

Holy crap! I had no idea Dodge had a KR competitor product! I don't think I've ever even seen one; although I see at LEAST 2-3 KR's a day up north of Atlanta.
Ran a search on autotrader.com, and only ONE came up within "any distance"!!! What gives, they appear to be even less costly than the Ford KR (at least, 2012)? Just bizarre, and I thought I've seen pretty much close to it all. I can't believe I was unaware of this, and can't believe autotrader didn't have any more, wow.
