2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
if you are looking for more bang for the buck, then you really dont have to look any further than the ram 1500. ive done my research and shopping and you by far get more with the 2016 ram 1500. ford wont even try and match it. (and they are looking to get rid of the v8 engine by the way). although chevy will try and match the pricing (did my research with that too), they still dont give … you the dual exhaust. i test drove the ford f150 and the chevy silverado and the ram 1500 beats them both. fords interior is nice. chevys interior is nice. but again, the ram 1500 interior is more luxurious. besides the fact that you also get a free 1 year subscription with sirius satellite radio with dodge. chevy and ford were only 6 months. and about that horsepower.......395 hp with the ram. chevy and ford dont give you that much. the passenger seating in the back is also very comfortable with the ram, and more comfortable than the chevy. you get alot more for your money with the ram 1500. this is my second ram 1500 lease and i am very satisfied with this truck. so satisfied that i just might be it outright at the end of the lease. for the life of me, i really dont know why anyone would want any other truck.
Absolutely Love It!

2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
I leased a Big Horn Crew Cab with the standard bed and the 5.7L HEMI about a year ago now. I was comparing similar trucks (4dr crew, standard bed, big engine) with the features I wanted (big touch screen, remote start, cold weather package with heated seats and wheel). I drove a Silverado (worst one by far, terrible ride quality and cheap interior), a Tundra (nice but a terrible lease … program) and an F150 (same as the Tundra; loved it, but when we got to numbers, it would've made more sense to purchase the vehicle because it was $200 cheaper per month!). I'd heard mixed things about Rams, simply because Chryslers don't have the greatest rep. Well, I think the Big Horn alone could change one's mind. It's the absolute best bang for your buck. Plenty of great features (a nice big screen, remote start, parking sensors, huge backup camera) for easily the best lease I have ever seen. I'm paying barely $400 with nothing down except my trade. For what this truck has and what it can do, that's astounding. I'm doing a 3 year lease, and I will without a doubt be returning to Ram for another one when this lease ends! The only thing that is questionable is the 8 speed transmission. The transmission itself is flawless, extremely smooth shifts and I think it helps with the ride quality. But the rotary dial throws me off a bit. Luckily, it was easy to get used to after a few months. Don't let something tiny like that get in the way of an amazing truck for the BEST price (yes, the BEST) on the market. Ram has earned the business of me and my friends for years. Amazing quality! Ram hit it out of the park!
This truck tows like a mule, rides like a Cadillac

2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
We leased the 5.7 liter Ram Big Horn Crew for 24 months and 30k miles. I tow a 6,000 lb. Travel Trailer with this truck (the reason we leased it). The lease expires next week and I am leasing another one. This truck is a comfortable, civilized, dependable mule. We live in Northern Michigan where we typically get 120 inches of snow. The 4x4 Auto setting is wonderful. Towing at 65 … mph, I typically get 10 mpg, about normal for a rig this size. The difference is in towing through mountains. With the standard 3.21 axle ratio, I have no problem maintaining speed. We read so much about Toyota and Nissan trucks. This Ram has been rock solid dependable, comfortable and capable.
Love the dang thing
