2026 Ram 1500 Bighorn: A Capable, Comfortable Truck With a Few Surprises

This episode provides a detailed review of the 2026 Ram 1500 Bighorn pickup truck. It begins with a brief history of how the old Dodge D/W pickups evolved into today’s Ram brand, then explains engine options, towing and payload capacities, and real-world driving impressions. With its mild-hybrid V6 or Hemi V8, smooth ride, bold styling, and a practical cabin, the Ram 1500 offers the capability and refinement expected from a modern full-size truck. The review notes some issues—such as the exposed spare tire placement and the absence of standard running boards on 4x4 models—but overall, it concludes that, for those willing to pay the price, the Ram 1500 remains a very appealing choice.
