With a powerful HEMI V8 under the hood, a proven 4WD drivetrain, and a striking Brilliant Black Crystal Pearlcoat finish, this crew cab checks nearly every box for truck buyers in the Pacific Northwest.

About This 2018 RAM 1500 Big Horn

The 2018 RAM 1500 Big Horn is one of the most popular configurations in the RAM lineup — and for good reason. The Big Horn trim hits a sweet spot between everyday practicality and well-equipped comfort, offering more than a base work truck without the premium price of higher trims like the Laramie or Limited.

At just over 93,000 miles, this RAM 1500 is well within its stride. HEMI-powered RAM 1500s are widely known to run reliably into the 200,000-mile range with proper maintenance, meaning this truck still has a long, productive life ahead of it. The Crew Cab body style gives you four full-size doors and genuine rear-seat legroom — a big deal whether you're hauling family or crew.

2018 RAM 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits the legendary HEMI 5.7L V8 with Multi Displacement VVT — arguably the most iconic engine in the half-ton truck segment. This engine produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, giving you serious towing capability (up to 10,650 lbs when properly equipped) and confident passing power on the highway.

The Multi Displacement System (MDS) is a standout feature of this engine — it deactivates four cylinders during light-load highway cruising to improve fuel economy, making it more efficient than you might expect from a full V8. Paired with an 8-Speed Automatic transmission, shifts are smooth and responsive whether you're merging onto I-82 or climbing grades through the Yakima Valley.

The 4WD drivetrain is purpose-built for conditions that Central Washington drivers know well — muddy farm roads, snowy mountain passes, and rugged terrain around the Cascades. Whether you're heading toward Chinook Pass or hauling equipment out to an orchard, this truck is ready.

RAM 1500 Big Horn Features and Interior

The Big Horn trim level is well-appointed for daily use and long hauls alike. Expect features such as the Uconnect infotainment system with touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, and ParkView rear backup camera — all practical tools that make this truck easy to live with day to day.

The crew cab interior offers comfortable seating for up to five adults, with rear seats that fold up to create additional cargo storage. The Big Horn package typically adds chrome exterior accents, a sport performance hood, integrated trailer brake controller, and a 40/20/40 split-bench front seat — giving you flexibility whether you're on a job site or on a road trip.

RAM 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 RAM 1500 has earned a strong reputation among owners for its ride quality, durability, and powertrain longevity. RAM was one of the first full-size trucks to adopt a coil-spring rear suspension, which gives it a noticeably smoother ride compared to competitors using leaf springs — a detail that full-time truck drivers genuinely appreciate over long days.

The 5.7L HEMI engine has been refined over many years and is considered one of the most reliable V8 truck engines available. Common owner feedback highlights strong performance even at high mileage, straightforward maintenance needs, and a robust parts availability that keeps long-term ownership costs manageable. Regular oil changes, spark plug service around 100,000 miles, and transmission fluid maintenance are the primary items to stay on top of.
