2016 RAM 1500

If you're searching for a capable, full-size truck that gets the job done without the new-vehicle price tag, this 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab for sale at F & M Auto Sales in Detroit, MI is worth a serious look. Finished in a sharp black exterior, this truck brings legendary Hemi power, a spacious crew cab layout, and the kind of proven durability that RAM 1500 owners count on — all at a price point that makes real-world sense for Detroit-area buyers.

About This 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab

This 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab comes in at 159,956 miles, which for a well-maintained half-ton truck powered by a 5.7L Hemi V8 is very much still in its working years. RAM 1500 trucks with the Hemi engine are widely known to reach 250,000 to 300,000 miles with proper upkeep, making high mileage far less of a concern here than it might be on other vehicles. The crew cab body style means four full-size doors, rear passenger space that comfortably fits adults, and enough room to haul your crew to the job site or the family across town. The blacked-out exterior gives this truck a clean, aggressive look that holds up on the road and in the driveway.

2016 RAM 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits RAM's legendary 5.7L Hemi V8 — a 345 cubic inch overhead-valve engine producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque in its RAM 1500 application. Paired with an automatic transmission, this setup delivers smooth, confident power whether you're merging onto I-75, towing a trailer, or hauling a payload across Wayne County. The Hemi's real-world reputation is outstanding — it's responsive, durable, and produces that unmistakable V8 rumble that truck buyers love. RAM's Multi-Displacement System (MDS) allows the engine to deactivate four cylinders during light-load cruising, helping fuel efficiency on the highway. This is a truck built to work hard and keep working.

RAM 1500 Crew Cab Features and Interior

The Crew Cab configuration is one of the most practical body styles in the full-size truck segment. Four full-size doors and a rear seat designed for real passengers — not an afterthought — make this RAM 1500 as family-friendly as it is work-ready. RAM 1500 interiors from this generation are well-regarded for their quality materials, intuitive layout, and available technology. Standard and available features on 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab trucks include the Uconnect infotainment system, a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, available heated seats, and a commanding driving position with excellent sightlines. The Ram Box storage solutions and integrated tailgate step are hallmarks of smart RAM truck design that owners appreciate every day.

RAM 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 RAM 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi is considered one of the more reliable full-size truck configurations on the market. The Hemi V8 has a decades-long track record of high-mileage durability, and the ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission found in many RAM 1500s from this era is praised for smooth shifts and long-term dependability. Common owner feedback highlights the engine's longevity, the comfortable ride quality (RAM 1500 is frequently ranked best-in-class for ride comfort thanks to its coil-spring rear suspension), and the practicality of the crew cab layout. At this mileage, routine maintenance items — brakes, fluids, belts, and tires — are the expected areas to address, and any competent mechanic will confirm the drivetrain itself is built to go the distance.
