Used 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.6 ft SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A) Consumer Reviews

Can't Change my mind

Big horn ecodiesel 4x4 crew cab is the way to go. Just took it on a 2200 mile drive through mountains, snow, rain, wind storms, and thanksgiving traffic coming back from our round trip from Orange County to Vail Colorado and back through Vegas. Had 6 hours of bumper to bumper traffic from vegas home but still pulled off a 27mpg adverage in a 4x4 crew with 4 people a cab high shell and 5-600 lbs of gear. Elevations over 8000 ft and 11-15 deg nights Didn't slow us down. I was concerned with the Uria tank/ lines freezing, but got lucky, and didn't have thaw it out with the Colman stove... lol. Also purchased this truck for under 36k. It pays to look online for 30+ days on autotrader New/ lowest price/ any distance. Shipping was 1200, but hey I saved over 15k. Only issue with the accessories was the cruse control. As most have found out the on/ off Cruse button works randomly. Spank the back of the steering wheel and it will eventually come back. Love this truck ran it at speed limit + 4mph most all the trip w/ 18 starts and stops and 4 small side trips in Vail. Only needed the 4x4 once and most of the time ran in the light snow in 4x2 as the leader in our convoy. This truck is very stable and rides like on a cloud. Ford is rough, loud and can't compete on mileage. Chevy doesn't do it for me. Still has the same issues that they haven't resolved for nearly 20 years. I.E. Burt out running lights, tailgate latch. This is cosmetic, but really solve your build quality issues. At 3000 miles, I did a minor upgrade to the truck. Trimmed a little fat off of the burn cycle and am now getting 30+ MPG AND RUNNING CLEANER. drove from the center of orange county to Mesa AZ. Side trip and back and averaged 30.8 for the tank after running around at home for 2 more days. The fuel computer still reads accurate and truck seems to have slightly more power and torque. I know now how to get max mileage. I can get 33-35 highway at 62mph. The best mileage is after 15 miles of driving when the Trans and engine are at operating temp. Rock on Ram Trucks!
