I've been researching this truck A LOT because I want one. What is funny is that if you build a 2022 model on their website, u can add extended fuel, technology package (heads up display with digital rearveiw mirror), that 14" center touch screen, full moon roof, rear bed package, upgraded led lights ALL FOR 60K. Lease for like 300 a month. Absolutely insane. I'm ready to pull trigger if I didn't have shot credit at moment. This is The BEST VALUE I've found out of any truck. When comparing features and gimmicks. For the price.
I purchased a 2023 Ram Built to Serve Edition in Hydro Blue Pearl. I had installed a 3-1/2" suspension lift on it along with BF Goodrich all terrain K02 35" X 11-1/2" tires using the same 20" rims. I also had installed a Bak Flip MX4 tonneau cover, Husky truck bed mat, Husky rear under the seat storage box and an Amp Research side bed step. I love the truck. I do wish it had a larger fuel tank. Otherwise, it looks good and runs great.
I got mine 2022 in Red. Love it so much. I put a 3” BDS Fox 2.0 lift kit and got 34 AT wheels (275/65R20) from Discount Tire. They cost me around $5,000 to make my BTS more off road than the Rebel. The only downside is that my BTS doesn’t come with a 12” screen. But I don’t need it because the CarPlay works very well. Bottom line, the BTS package worths every single penny.
Great review that that helped me pull the trigger on a used one. Funny how they haven't changed almost at all from the 2020 model to now, and are ridiculously more. I got a '20 BTS in the ceramic gray with the 12" screen, 3.92 ratio, wheel liners, bed liner, 5.7 Hemi NON etorque, tow package, and underseat storage. Got it for $36k with only 34k miles, and it's in mint condition. My point, why buy new nowadays? Im saving almost half the cost of a new truck that is optioned less. These inflated prices are ridiculous. Sticker on my truck was just over $53k with all those options, basically loaded out minus the sunroof.
Here's what's strange about the UCONNECT in the BTS. Its the plain ole boring UC5. Its not the one with NAV that has the piano black bezel and the high res backup cam. I guess another $800 for UC5/NAV or the 12 inch (2,000 more) would have not been feasible, since the BTS starts about $60,000. They don't discount them here either.
Build to serve is not for the regular EMS guy $60K 😂 Firefighter paramedics here in Utah that’s half of their income still expensive Work truck = real EMS salaries
The Laramies come standard with wheel flares... it's the lower Big Horn trim that doesn't. Part of what makes this package special is because it includes things like that not found on the Big Horn trim that the Built to Serve is based on. Also, that gauge cluster is NOT their top-of-the line... it's the 7" digital, but they have a fully digital 12" version on the 2023s, as well. At $60k, it's an "ok" value, but it's missing some things like the larger center display, leather seating, any kind of bed trim... and even basic trim like wheel liners and simple towing features. And what it does have is mostly because it has the "Big Horn Level 2" trim, not because of the Built to Serve trim. That doesn't give you any of the stuff you were talking about (like heated seating, etc.). Might be worth checking the spec sheet again.
Ben is right,no fender flares for Laramie's on the 23 models. I own a 22 Built to Serve after owning a 21 Laramie. The BTS does elevate the Bighorn quite a bit. Standard BTS are LED headlights and taillights (something that is now an option on Laramies), the off road group which includes 1" raised ride height, HD struts/shocks, electronic locking rear differential, hill descent control, vinyl sportcloth seats which are basically the rebel non leather seats, locking console safe, fender flares. Most Big Horns have halogens, no fender flares, no safe, and are harder to find with the off road group. So speaking from 1st hand experience, the Built to Serve is a hell of a deal. Also being a former Marine it means a little more to me.
Please, please, please, is there any way you could speak faster and in a higher pitch voice? Just can't get enough of that high-pitched, fast-talking that you do!
Too bad this vehicle cost equal to 100.000 $ in Denmark. Another 40.000 $ if you want the back seats in. Oh and a special "jealousy" tax on this type of vehicle of 4.000 $ per year. Yup, dont move here if you want cool shit.
The etorque is something no one should really want The battery 48volts is like the suitcase behind your rear seats and the problem is it is no longer covered in 80k miles emission warranty but only covered in 36 month basic bumper to bumper warranty which the dealer told me it’s a west and tear item… also have problems I would never consider getting one but only the original hemi
I got a 2001 Dodge Ram, 5 speed manual. I paid $1,800. Anyone else got a V8, 4X4, 5spd manual with real mud tires mounted factory wheels. Nope. My point is this. Save your money folks.
I'm loving the 23 1500 Bighorn Night Edition Quad cab, it has all the things this Built2serve has except the Light group & protection packages, and it was out the door 4 52k. I did have to add side steps but otherwise it was good to go, and here in Minnie, that black flag doesn't represent service, its been co-opted by the far righties or the anti blm crowd, (IMHO)i would be caught with that thing on anything I drove. Stars & Stripes, red white & blue only on my vehicles, peace.
Morgan And Morgan: www.forthepeople.com/benhardy
I just had to fast forward thru that. I came to watch a BTS commercial, not to hear about Morgan and Morgan.
Just traded in my jeep gladiator for an EMS edition built to serve optioned just like this. I love it so much!
Morgan and Morgan for the people! They are huge here in FL..Seems like there are lots of accident prone people .👍🐊😎
Ben, don’t forget to highlight the gun safe in the centre console that comes with the BTS version! Great vid as always!

Love my 2022 red BTS Canadian model. First time owning a truck and I’m very happy with it. Thanks for always making great videos Ben!!
This truck is fun to drive! Nice review Ben.
Man!! 🔥🔥🔥Truck!!! RAM sure does make the best trucks out there!
Snow in Minnesota too Ben. You look good in that Ram.
Snow here in Cali was highly odd to me.

I'd say the backcountry is better especially with the two tone paint
I have a spitfire orange built to serve and I love it. That truck your driving definitely has a aftermarket exhaust. I wish mine sounded like that lol
Love this one as well, probably going to go with a Patriot Blue Back Country with air suspension
Definitely think you need a Ram back in your life!
I'm buying one tomorrow white too! Really good looking truck in person. love watching your videos!
Just bought a white one like this a couple days ago. Love it🙂
The MOLLE tactical straps on the back of the seat is awesome wish they offered that in my new Ram Rebel!
I have a 2017 ram 1500 big horn 5.7 with 3.92 gears ...definitely spinning the rear wheels daily lol
Great videos!
Can you please do a review or talk about 4x4 package for both Springs & Air suspension! How is the extra lift achieved on both ??
Thanks
Built to serve is great
Are those signals on the mirrors smoked/tinted? They look darker than normal.
My 22 F350 XLT crew cab, LB 4x4 7.3L with basically every option cost 62K before taxes
Did you get it recently?

3:92 is the way to go guys ..
Unfortunately not available in a BTS!
This has been beaten to death. 3.21 gets better gas. 3.92 tows a little better 0-25. That's basically it. People obsess over this too much.
The Built to serve is my favorite trim. I have yet to see the back country in real life at a dealer.
I love both backcountry and build to serve those are the best options for your money
Build to serve is not for the regular EMS guy
$60K 😂
Firefighter paramedics here in Utah that’s half of their income still expensive
Work truck = real EMS salaries
I really hate that the tech package on this isn’t great. I do enjoy a big screen in my life.
When is the law enforcement edition going to be available?
Any idea about the ground clearance
Va the Rebel package.
I paid 43k for a new 5.9 dodge early 2000s sheesh 🙄 the prices are outrageously expensive nowadays
2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn Lone Star Hemi eTorque Built to Serve U.S. Emergency Medical Service Special Edition Crew Cab 4X4!
Isn't this package basically the bighorn?
Big horn with addons
I assume those back of the seat sleeves are for shotgun shells?
Google MOLLE. It's the loops that come on military gear for attaching things.
Looks great
Take out the sponsor $hit Ben, otherwise it's a nice trim 👌 👍
It's a 30-second advert, just fast-forward it like a normal person.
@@brokeboy87 normal people complain 🤣and that's not even the other advertising 🤣
Morgan and Morgan FOR THE PROFITS, *NOT* for the people! LOL
We just bought the built to serve fromHill Kelly Dodge in Pensacola. We pick it up on Friday didn’t know it had the alpine stereo in it.
Love it!!
Ben , did you get rid of your TRX?
Solid axels?
Mmmmhhh, maybe talk to people that own the 5.7 with the ET option.... absolute nightmare.
Not many upgrades from 2021. You could save some cash buying used
I’m between this or the 23’ Rebel. Which would you pick??
This one. Save 10k too.
Built to serve. You get alot of truck for 60k
I bought my 22 Limited maxed out with all the features for $65k….. These are crazy over priced imo
@@Denyell23 agreed
Back country

Needs to have level B equipment. Needs to have the 12 inch UC5. For $60,000 !
@@BayouToad Yeah, our dealer here keeps calling them "leather seats". They're vinyl trimmed cloth seats (well sort of a mesh).
Looks like a rebel
maybe, except for the front end.
Do they have this package in the 2500s
Unfortunately they do not
All BTS editions have 3.21 axle ratio. Would be nice if it did have a 3.92.
Built to Serve....priced to SIT.....on the lot......
Believe me, they don't sit on lots long. Usually sold within a week.
Ben do you know if ram have a 2023 back country
Haven’t seen one yet
@@BenHardyCars I hope they have one for this year
They do, my dealer says pre-sold orders only
V6 does not get 22mpg on highway. 17-18 maybe. V8 power is better and same gas mileage.
Can you imagine a V6 with a 3.21 axle ratio?
Came here for the review on the truck not a law firm lecture bro. Way too long on that sponsor. Otherwise, great built to serve coverage.
Morgan and Morgan. For the PROFITS, not the PEOPLE! LOL
Back Country you get more for the same price...
Time for a makeover.

Where did you get this info at?
I got a 2001 Dodge Ram, 5 speed manual. I paid $1,800. Anyone else got a V8, 4X4, 5spd manual with real mud tires mounted factory wheels. Nope. My point is this. Save your money folks.
Instead of talking a million miles per second, try just showing the truck

different tires and wheels on the BTS. Would also depend on what equipment level your BH NE had.
Ben, you need some more product in your hair!
ANYWAYS is street punk talk. The word is anyway. Be professional.
