2016 RAM 1500 Big Horn

The 2016 Ram 1500 is a full-size half-ton pickup that squares off against the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Toyota Tundra. On the road, the Ram 1500 feels composed and stable, with steering that is accurate for a truck of its size. The available air suspension delivers a remarkably smooth ride, soaking up bumps that would jolt other pickups. Inside, the cabin is spacious and quiet, with available leather upholstery and a large touchscreen that make it feel more upscale than its price suggests. The Big Horn adds chrome bumpers, chrome-clad 20-inch wheels, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel over the Tradesman, while skipping the Laramie's leather seats and upgraded audio. Under the hood is a 3.6L Pentastar V6 with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, paired with the eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, good for 19 mpg combined. The Big Horn's standard coil-spring rear suspension gives a comfortable ride, but the available air suspension is worth finding for an even smoother highway feel.
