2021 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 57' Box: Command the Road with HEMI Power
Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, rural community of Paris, IL, where the sunrise hits the Bright White Clearcoat finish of your truck as you prepare for a day of meaningful work. Whether you are heading out to check on the north acreage or planning a weekend trip to the vibrant campus atmosphere in Champaign, IL, the 2021 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 is engineered to be your most reliable partner. This isn't just a pickup; it is a mobile command center designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty capability and the everyday needs of Central Illinois life. From the fertile farmlands to the bustling city streets, this RAM 1500 brings a level of confidence and presence that makes every mile feel shorter and every task feel easier.
Performance & Capability
Under the hood lies the legendary heart of this machine: a HEMI 5.7L V-8 engine featuring variable valve control and cylinder deactivation. This powerhouse delivers 395HP, providing the muscle required for demanding tasks while utilizing an Engine Auto Stop-Start Feature to manage efficiency during your drives through Decatur, IL. The powertrain is further enhanced by the ETorque MHEV (mild hybrid electric vehicle) system, which uses a 48V belt starter generator to provide seamless torque transitions and improved overall drivability.
The 8-speed automatic transmission offers driver-selectable modes and an overdrive function, ensuring that power delivery is always smooth, whether you are cruising on the highway or navigating a gravel road. This RAM is equipped with a part and full-time 4WD system and an electronic transfer case, allowing you to adapt to changing weather conditions in an instant. The mechanical limited-slip differential and 3.92 rear axle ratio provide the traction and gearing necessary for confident starts under load. To keep everything running at peak performance, the truck features an engine oil cooler and a transmission fluid temperature gauge, giving you real-time data on your vehicle's vitals. The suspension setup, consisting of a short and long arm front suspension with coil springs and a multi-link rear suspension with a rigid axle, provides a refined ride quality that sets the standard for the modern pickup.
Technology & Connectivity
Staying connected while navigating the rolling plains of Central Illinois is effortless thanks to the integrated technology suite in this Big Horn. The cabin features an 8.4-inch primary touchscreen display that serves as the hub for all your media and vehicle settings. With Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto smart device mirroring, your favorite apps, maps, and playlists are always right at your fingertips. The system also includes Integrated Voice Command with Bluetooth, allowing you to make calls or change your music without ever taking your hands off the leather steering wheel.
For those who rely on multiple devices, this truck is exceptionally well-equipped with 9 USB ports, ensuring that everyone in the Crew Cab stays charged and ready. The Uconnect hands-free wireless device connectivity provides seamless streaming audio, while the six-speaker sound system delivers crisp, clear audio quality throughout the interior. An analog instrumentation display is complemented by a redundant digital speedometer, giving you clear visibility of your speed and vehicle status at a glance.
Comfort & Interior
The interior of this RAM 1500 is a sanctuary of comfort, featuring Black premium cloth front seat upholstery and a thoughtful layout that prioritizes space. The Crew Cab configuration offers massive legroom, and the rear 60/40 folding seat provides versatility for carrying extra gear inside the climate-controlled cabin. For the driver, an 8-way directional power seat includes 4-way power lumbar support, ensuring long-range comfort for trips to Taylorville, IL. The addition of power adjustable pedals means drivers of all sizes can find their perfect ergonomic position.
Winter mornings are much more manageable with heated driver and front passenger seats and a heated steering wheel. The dual-zone front automatic climate control allows both the driver and passenger to set their preferred temperatures, while rear under-seat ducts and console ducts ensure those in the back stay comfortable as well. Storage is abundant, featuring a full-length floor console, front seatback map pockets, and interior concealed storage. Fine details like piano black and chrome interior accents, metal-look door panel inserts, and deluxe sound insulation create a refined environment that feels more like a luxury SUV than a rugged work truck.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount in the design of the 2021 RAM 1500. This vehicle is equipped with a comprehensive 6-airbag system, including dual-stage front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, and curtain airbags for both the first and second rows. When navigating tight spots or hitching up a trailer, the ParkView rear back-up camera provides a clear view of what is behind you, while the ParkSense front and rear parking sensors alert you to nearby obstacles.
The braking system is robust, featuring 4-wheel disc brakes with a four-channel ABS and brake assist for maximum stopping power. For those who utilize the Class IV tow rating, the integrated Trailer Brake Controller and trailer sway control provide essential stability and peace of mind when hauling heavy loads. Additionally, the Tire Fill Alert system makes maintaining proper tire pressure simple, and the rear collision mitigation system adds an extra layer of protection for you and your passengers.
Exterior & Design
The exterior of this RAM 1500 is finished in Bright White Clearcoat, a sharp look that is complemented by the Night Edition styling, which includes a black grille with a chrome surround and black exterior mirrors. The truck sits proudly on 20-inch polished aluminum wheels with painted accents, wrapped in P275/55TR20 all-season tires. Functionality is built into every curve, from the active grille shutters that optimize aerodynamics to the bed-rail protectors that guard your cargo box during loading.
Visibility is handled by reflector halogen daytime running headlamps with an auto on/off feature and integrated front fog lights for misty mornings. The heated power-folding door mirrors include turn signal indicators and an auto-dimming feature on the driver's side to reduce glare. For added convenience, the tailgate features power locks and an easy-lower function, while the rear bumper step makes accessing the 5'7" box simple. Perimeter approach lighting and remote activated lights ensure you always have a clear path to your door after dark.
