That would make your truck a Sport right? There was Sport with painted grills and Laramie that had the painted everything. I wanted neither. I did like the business console, but you couldn't get that with the chrome bumpers/grills. Total Bullsh8t. I wanted a sunroof and couldn't get that either without having the painted bumpers. Then I figured I didn't need the sunroof.

So why did my truck not come with a tow hitch? It has an SLT badge on the tailgate.

It has the Hemi, 20" wheels, fog lights, 3.92 LSD, Chrome grill and bumpers, regular CD player (now has an RB1), NO tow package. (I installed the hitch myself)

Tow package was optional.

I demanded 3 things when I bought my truck. 20" wheels without the chrome clad, Factory tow package because it's a Class IV and comes with a 7pin as well as a 4pin, and 5.7L Hemi engine. That's why i didn't put to much thought into the Big Horn crap. I got what I wanted and that's it, the Big Horn was just there. i didn't pay attention to it.

I dunno, but I certainly didn't want to have to add on a hitch myself and then have to cut into wires to make a 7-pin plug! All Rams came with the basic 4pin plug even without the tow package. The only thing guys need to do is buy the hitch mount itself. You can get the factory Class IV reciever for $159 from the dealership. It's rather small and easy to put on, but as stated you wouldn't have the 7-pin plug which I needed.

Thanks for that info, but it doesn't seems all that accurate?? I don't have any 3 digit code on my sticker and it shows only the added options under 26g package.
It states that the 23g and 26g both get Boghorn badges??? I don't understand.

I suppose it doesn't really matter. My truck has got one and that's that.
