2020 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 57' Box - The Ultimate Central Illinois Workhorse
Finding a vehicle that balances the demands of a productive workday with the needs of a modern family can be a challenge, but this 2020 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 is engineered to bridge that gap perfectly. Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, rural surroundings of Shelbyville, where the sun is just beginning to hit the rolling farmland. You climb into the spacious cabin, fire up the legendary engine, and feel the immediate confidence that only a half-ton leader can provide. Whether you are navigating the historic charm of the local square or preparing for a long haul across the county, this truck is designed to be your most reliable partner.
Living in central Illinois requires a vehicle that is as versatile as the landscape itself. From the open fields and agricultural roots of the surrounding areas to the more bustling atmosphere of Charleston, this RAM 1500 fits in everywhere. It offers a commanding presence on the road without sacrificing the refined ride quality that has made the Big Horn trim a favorite among truck enthusiasts. This is more than just a pickup; it is a mobile office, a family cruiser, and a weekend warrior all wrapped in a stunning Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat finish. It is ready to tackle the changing seasons and the varied terrain of our region with ease, ensuring you always arrive at your destination in style and comfort.
Performance & Capability
At the heart of this 2020 RAM 1500 Big Horn lies the powerhouse that defined a generation of American trucks: the HEMI 5.7L V-8 variable valve control, regular unleaded, engine with cylinder deactivation and 395HP. This isn't just an engine; it is a statement of capability. When you are merging onto the highway near Effingham or navigating the gently rolling plains that characterize our part of the state, the 395 horsepower provides effortless acceleration. The inclusion of cylinder deactivation is a masterstroke of engineering, allowing the V8 to operate with the efficiency of a smaller engine during light-load cruising, which is ideal for those long stretches of flat highway between our neighboring towns.
The power is managed by a sophisticated 8-speed automatic transmission that features electronic control and a Transmission w/Driver Selectable Mode. This setup ensures that you are always in the right gear, whether you are climbing a grade or maintaining a steady pace. The Four Wheel Drive system is a Part and full-time 4WD configuration, giving you the flexibility to choose the best traction mode for the conditions. In the winter months, when the Illinois prairie is blanketed in snow, the Auto Locking Hubs and Electronic Transfer Case allow for seamless transitions to keep you moving forward.
The ride quality of this RAM is further enhanced by its advanced suspension architecture. It features a Short And Long Arm Front Suspension w/Coil Springs and a Solid Axle Rear Suspension w/Coil Springs. Unlike traditional leaf-spring setups found in many competitors, this multi-link rear suspension provides a level of composure and smoothness that you might expect from a luxury sedan, even when the bed is empty. This is particularly noticeable when driving on the rural roads outside of town, where the Heavy-duty gas-pressurized shock absorbers soak up imperfections in the pavement, providing a stable and confident feel behind the wheel.
Technology & Connectivity
In today's world, staying connected is not a luxuryâ"it is a necessity. This RAM 1500 Big Horn is equipped with an 8.4 inch primary display that serves as the nerve center for all your media and communication needs. The Primary monitor touchscreen is intuitive and responsive, featuring the renowned Uconnect system. With Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto smart device mirroring, your favorite navigation apps, music playlists, and contacts are always just a touch away. This integration allows you to keep your focus on the road while the Voice activated audio controls handle your requests.
For the driver who spends a lot of time on the move between the university atmosphere of Charleston and the surrounding communities, the Handsfree Uconnect w/Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity is a game-changer. You can take business calls or catch up with family without ever taking your hands off the Steering wheel mounted audio controls. The cabin is also a hub for all your devices, boasting 5 USB ports to ensure that everyones phone or tablet stays charged during a family road trip.
The audio experience is equally impressive, featuring Streaming Audio and Wireless streaming Bluetooth wireless audio capabilities. Whether you are listening to a podcast or your favorite radio station via the Fixed audio antenna, the sound quality is crisp and clear. The Analog instrumentation display provides a classic look while the Exterior temperature display keeps you informed of the changing Midwestern weather. Every piece of technology in this truck is designed to be functional and user-friendly, making every trip more enjoyable and productive.
Comfort & Interior
The interior of this RAM 1500 Big Horn is a masterclass in ergonomics and material choice, featuring a Light Frost Beige/Black color scheme that feels airy and upscale. The Premium cloth front seat upholstery is both durable and comfortable, designed to withstand the rigors of a working lifestyle while providing a soft touch for long-distance travel. The Deluxe Cloth Bucket Seats offer excellent support, and the Driver seat with 8-way directional controlsâ"including 4-way power lumbarâ"ensures that you can find the perfect driving position for your height and preference.
Versatility is a hallmark of the Crew Cab body style. The 60-40 folding rear seats and the Fold-up rear seat cushion allow you to transform the back of the cab into a massive weather-protected storage area for tools, groceries, or gear. Speaking of storage, the RamBin Interior Concealed Storage provides a clever way to keep valuables out of sight, while the Full floor console and Front seat armrest storage keep your everyday carry items organized. The Power adjustable pedals are another thoughtful touch, allowing drivers of all sizes to feel comfortable and in control.
Climate comfort is handled by the Manual climate control system, which includes Rear under seat climate control ducts and Rear console climate control ducts to ensure that passengers in the back stay just as comfortable as those in the front. On those cold Illinois mornings, the Remote Start System allows you to warm up the cabin before you even step outside. Small details like the Leather Steering Wheel, Chrome and metal-look interior accents, and Fade-To-Off Interior Lighting contribute to an environment that feels far more premium than your average work truck.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount in a vehicle designed for both work and family life. This RAM 1500 is built on a high-strength steel frame and comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features. The ParkView Back-Up Camera provides a clear view of what is behind you, making it much easier to back into a tight parking spot or line up a trailer. When it comes to towing, the Trailer brake controller and Trailer sway control work in tandem with the Electronic stability control system with anti-roll to keep your load stable and secure, even in gusty crosswinds on the open plains.
The braking system is robust, featuring 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes and Regenerative 4-Wheel Disc Brakes. The Brake assist system can detect emergency braking situations and apply maximum pressure to help you stop shorter. For those who frequently park on inclines, the Hill Hold Control and Electric Parking Brake provide an extra layer of security, preventing the truck from rolling back when you transition from the brake to the accelerator.
Inside the cabin, protection is provided by a network of 6 airbags, including Dual Stage Driver And Passenger Front Airbags, Seat mounted side impact driver and passenger airbags, and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. The Airbag Occupancy Sensor ensures that the systems deploy appropriately based on the passengers present. For those traveling with children, the Manual rear child safety door locks and Rear seat center 3-point seatbelt offer peace of mind, knowing that your most precious cargo is well-protected.
Exterior & Design
Dressed in Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat, this RAM 1500 Big Horn exudes a sophisticated and powerful aura. The deep, metallic black paint is complemented by the Chrome Front Bumper and Chrome Rear Step Bumper, giving the truck a classic look that never goes out of style. The Black Grille w/Chrome Surround and Chrome door handles add just the right amount of flash without being overwhelming. Riding on 18 x 8-inch silver aluminum wheels, this truck has a balanced stance that is both functional for off-road excursions and stylish for city driving.
Functionality is built into every line of the exterior. The Active grille shutters help manage airflow to improve aerodynamics and engine cooling efficiency. The 57' Box provides ample space for hauling, and the Pickup bed-rail protectors help prevent scratches when loading and unloading equipment. For visibility, the truck is equipped with Auto On/Off Reflector Halogen Daytime Running Headlamps and Front fog lights, ensuring you can see and be seen regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.
The mirrors are equally high-tech, featuring Power-Folding Mirrors with Auto Dim Exterior Driver Mirror functionality and Turn signal indicator in door mirrors. These are particularly helpful when navigating the tighter streets of a town like Charleston or when pulling into a crowded driveway. The Class IV tow rating and Trailer wiring harness mean this truck is ready to work from day one, whether you are hauling a boat to the lake or a trailer full of supplies for a home improvement project.
