Unstoppable Performance: The 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab at Emerson Chevrolet
When it comes to a truck that balances the rugged demands of a Maine workday with the upscale comfort needed for a weekend drive to the coast, few names carry as much weight as the 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn (Lone Star). Currently available at Emerson Chevrolet in Auburn, this Crew Cab 4WD powerhouse is a testament to what a half-ton pickup should be: durable, versatile, and undeniably comfortable.
The 2018 model year represents the pinnacle of its generation, offering a refined coil-spring suspension that famously delivers the smoothest ride in its class. In the Big Horn trim—known as the Lone Star in certain regions—this truck receives a suite of "people-pleasing" upgrades that elevate it from a simple utility vehicle to a premium mobile office.
Legendary HEMI Power: The 5.7L V8
At the center of this truck’s capability is the iconic 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine. For generations of truck owners, the HEMI name has been synonymous with unyielding power and a signature exhaust note that commands respect on the road.
- Dominant Performance: This V8 generates a staggering 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. Whether you are accelerating onto the turnpike or navigating a steep, snow-covered grade in the foothills, the power delivery is instantaneous and confident.
- Variable Valve Timing (VVT): The engine isn't just about raw force; it uses VVT to optimize performance and efficiency across the entire power band, ensuring you have torque when you need it and smoother operation during highway cruising.
- 8-Speed TorqueFlite® Transmission: Paired with the HEMI is a sophisticated 8-speed automatic transmission. Unlike older 6-speed units, this gearbox provides smaller gaps between gears, allowing the engine to stay in its optimal power range longer while offering a wide ratio spread for improved low-end "grunt" and quiet high-speed travel.
- 4WD Command: The 4WD system on this Big Horn is designed for the unpredictable Maine climate. Featuring a two-speed transfer case with multiple modes, it allows you to shift on the fly to meet the challenges of black ice, heavy slush, or muddy trails.
Big Horn Sophistication: The Premium Interior
While the exterior of the Ram 1500 features bold chrome accents and 20-inch wheels that announce its arrival, the interior of the Big Horn is a sanctuary of thoughtful design and high-end materials.
The Crew Cab Experience
The Crew Cab configuration is the largest cab style offered, providing expansive legroom in the rear that rivals many luxury sedans. It is the perfect setup for those who resolve to travel with the whole family or need to transport a full crew to the job site without anyone feeling cramped.
Connectivity and Convenience
The 2018 Big Horn was a leader in cabin technology, featuring the award-winning Uconnect® 4C system.
- 8.4-inch Touchscreen: This high-resolution display serves as the command center for the vehicle, offering one of the most intuitive user interfaces in the industry.
- Smartphone Integration: With standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, you can easily access your maps, messages, and music libraries with voice commands or a simple tap.
- Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control: This allows both the driver and the front passenger to set their own ideal temperature, ending the "thermostat wars" during long winter drives.
- Luxury Touches: A leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls, a 110-volt power outlet for charging tools or laptops, and premium cloth 40/20/40 split-bench seating make every mile feel like a first-class journey.
Engineered for the Long Haul: Towing and Safety
The Ram 1500 doesn't just look tough; it is built on a high-strength steel frame engineered to withstand years of heavy-duty use.
- Class-Leading Ride: While competitors rely on traditional leaf springs, the Ram 1500 utilizes a link-coil rear suspension. This reduces friction and allows for more precise tuning, resulting in a truck that stays planted on bumpy Maine backroads and provides superior handling when the bed is empty.
- Heavy-Duty Towing: When properly equipped, the 5.7L HEMI V8 allows this truck to tow over 10,000 lbs. Combined with the Integrated Trailer Brake Controller and Trailer Sway Control, you can haul your boat or trailer with total peace of mind.
- Safety Features: This truck is equipped with a ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera and ParkSense® Front and Rear Park Assist, making it easy to navigate tight spots in downtown Auburn or line up a trailer hitch on the first try.
