Default THUNDER ROAD

I seen a nice Ram in a parking lot, so I walked over to take a better look, and noticed that it was a Thunder Road edition. I couldn't tell anything different from my Big Horn, except it was a sharp burgundy color that I had'nt seen before. Just curious, what is the difference, if any, between the Thunder Road and the Big Horn?

none.
they are essentially the same truck but are supposed to be designated to different regions. the big horn is the southern area while the thunder road is northeast US. there is a 3rd one that is designated west coast but i can't remember what it is called.
this is my understanding so if i'm wrong then i was misinformed. if so then feel free to correct me.

Ive got the Thunderroad edition and the difference is the jet packs under the spare tire that allow to fly for 40 - 50 feet at a time. Different shocks too, to absorb the impact with the concrete after it lands. It's great in traffic.......

Lonestar edition is for Texas. Bighorn editions are available in the south as well.

looks like ltwhitey is the only one with a functioning brain, lonestar is only marketed in Texas, makes sense. (for all the public schoolers Texas is the lone star state)
