About This 2016 RAM 1500 SLT Crew Cab

High mileage isn't automatically a dealbreaker on a RAM 1500, especially when the vehicle has been properly maintained.

The Silver exterior gives it a clean, professional look that works on the job site or parked at home.

2016 RAM 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits RAM's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 DOHC engine — the same unit found across millions of Chrysler, Dodge, and RAM vehicles. Producing around 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque in this application, it pairs with a smooth automatic transmission to deliver confident, everyday performance. While it doesn't match the towing capacity of the available HEMI V8, the Pentastar V6 offers meaningfully better fuel economy — typically around 17 city and 25 highway — making it a smarter choice for daily commuters and lighter-duty haulers in and around Detroit. The rear-wheel-drive setup keeps things simple and reliable.

The SLT trim on the 2016 RAM 1500 is designed for buyers who want substance over flash. Inside the roomy Crew Cab, you get comfortable seating for five or six, generous rear legroom that puts many sedans to shame, and practical storage throughout the cabin. The SLT typically comes equipped with features like a Uconnect infotainment system, available Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows and locks. The truck's interior is built for real work — durable materials, easy-to-clean surfaces, and enough room to haul a crew comfortably across Wayne County and beyond.

RAM 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 has earned a reputation as one of the most dependable engines in the segment. It won the Ward's 10 Best Engines award multiple times and has proven itself in countless fleet and consumer applications. The 2016 RAM 1500 platform benefits from an independent front suspension and a coil-link rear suspension — a setup that sets RAM apart from competitors and contributes to both a smoother ride and long-term durability.
