About This 2016 RAM 1500 Quad Cab Big Horn

The RAM 1500's fifth-generation platform, introduced in 2009 and refined through this 2016 model year, is widely regarded as one of the most refined and capable half-ton pickups ever produced. The gray exterior presents a clean, no-nonsense look that pairs naturally with the truck's work-ready Big Horn trim.

2016 RAM 1500 Performance and Engine

The HEMI 5.7L V8 — Built for Real Work

The heart of this truck is the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8, one of the most celebrated engines in the modern truck segment. Producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque in this application, the HEMI is paired here with an 8-speed automatic transmission — a combination that gives this RAM exceptional towing capability (up to approximately 10,650 lbs when properly equipped) and surprisingly smooth, efficient highway cruising. The 8-speed transmission was a significant upgrade over the older 6-speed, offering better gear selection logic, improved fuel economy, and seamless power delivery whether you're merging onto the highway or pulling a loaded trailer up a grade. Four-wheel drive rounds out the powertrain package, making this truck genuinely capable when Eastern Washington winter roads get slick or when you need to venture off the pavement.

RAM 1500 Big Horn Features and Interior

What the Big Horn Trim Delivers

The Big Horn sits a step above the base Tradesman trim and delivers a meaningful jump in comfort and convenience. Buyers can expect features consistent with the Big Horn package including a Uconnect infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, a multi-function steering wheel, dual-zone climate control capability, chrome exterior badging, and the well-regarded RAM interior build quality that reviewers and owners have consistently praised. The Quad Cab configuration offers rear-hinged back doors that swing wide for easy access, plus rear seating that's genuinely comfortable for adult passengers — not an afterthought like a true extended cab. The 6 1/3-foot bed gives you enough cargo length to handle sheet goods, motorcycles, or a weekend's worth of gear without a bed extender.

RAM 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 RAM 1500 has a strong reputation among truck owners and independent reviewers alike. The 5.7L HEMI V8 is known as a long-lived engine that commonly runs well past 200,000 miles with routine oil changes and basic maintenance. J.D. Power gave the 2016 RAM 1500 high marks for initial quality, and owner forums are filled with reports of high-mileage trucks that just keep going. Common ownership tips for this generation include monitoring the rear differential fluid if the truck is used for frequent towing, keeping up with spark plugs around the 100,000-mile mark (which this truck is approaching or may have already addressed), and checking the cam phaser system — a known but manageable area on HEMI engines. Overall, buyers who do their homework and get a pre-purchase inspection consistently find the 2016 RAM 1500 to be one of the best long-term values in the used truck market.
