Sold my 2021 "loaded" 2500 Trademans yesterday in preparation for ordering a 3500 HO. I was not unhappy with the Tradesman. I thought It was very nice compared to my 2011 2500hd LT Duramax. I have a few questions that I am hoping the group can help me out with before placing my order. My plan is to either order a fairly loaded Tradesman less trailer tech or a stripped Big Horn without any group upgrades. I can not find any pictures or examples of a 2022 3500 Big Horn without additional equipment group upgrades. Will the base Big Horn interior be "nicer" than the Level 2 Trademan? Or am I better off loading out a Tradesmans and saving a few thousand dollars? The goal is to keep the build around 65k. Must haves include, SBCC, HO, 4wd, 5th wheel prep.
Thanks
Shawn

I just ordered a Big Horn coming from a very well equipped Tradesman. I posted my window stickers for both. I am getting the Big Horn next week. I sold that Tradesman for 65 about 2 weeks ago. I only paid 50 after employee discounts and rebates at the time. It only had about 17000 miles and was in like new condition.

I went from a loaded 2020 Tradesman to 2021 Bighorn. The interior is nicer on the Bighorn but I always prefer Tradesman package.

I looked at both, priced both. Felt I was better off with the Big Horn. Plus wife wanted Auto Climate control and heated seats.
So got a Group C Big horn with 5th wheel prep, Bed lights and DRW SO 6.7 Upgraded seats with full console 8.4 screen without GPS.
Were paying under $63,000 before taxes. But that price has risen around $1000. from now to when we ordered Sept 13th.
3500 BIG HORN CREW CAB 4X4 DRW, Customer Preferred Package 2HZ 6.7L I6 Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine, 6-Spd Automatic 68RFE Transmission, Bright White , Premium Cloth Bucket Seats,Black/Light Mountain Brown, LED Bed Lighting, 50 Gallon Fuel Tank, , Auto Level Rear Air Suspension, Level C Equipment Group,
