When you live and work in the heart of the Midwest, your vehicle is more than just a way to get from point A to point B; it is an essential tool for your lifestyle. Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, rural community of Shelbyville, IL, where the sunrise hits the dew-covered fields. You need a truck that commands respect at the local grain elevator but feels just as refined when you are taking the family out for dinner. This 2022 RAM 1500 Big Horn Quad Cab 4x4, finished in a stunning Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat, is designed to meet those exact demands. Whether you are navigating the historic streets of Paris, IL or heading out for a weekend of recreation near the local waterways, this RAM provides the perfect balance of rugged capability and modern sophistication.
The Big Horn trim has long been a favorite for those who value a truck that works as hard as they do without sacrificing the comforts of a modern daily driver. With its Quad Cab configuration and a 6'4 box, this pickup offers the versatility to haul equipment for a project on the farm while providing a spacious, tech-forward cabin for your daily commute. It is a vehicle built for the person who appreciates the agricultural roots of our region but demands the latest in automotive engineering to keep their day running smoothly.
Performance & Capability
Under the hood of this formidable machine lies the legendary HEMI 5.7L V-8 variable valve control engine, a powerhouse that delivers an impressive 395HP.

To ensure long-term durability, the truck is equipped with an engine oil cooler and a transmission fluid temperature gauge, allowing you to monitor the vitals of your vehicle during demanding hauls. The Standard ride suspension, featuring a Short and long arm front suspension and a Multi-link rear suspension with coil springs, provides a composed and comfortable ride that masks the imperfections of rural roads.

Comfort & Interior
Inside the cabin, you are greeted by a refined Black interior featuring Premium cloth front seat upholstery. The attention to detail is evident in the Chrome and metal-look interior accents and the Leather steering wheel, which add a touch of class to the rugged interior. For those chilly Illinois mornings, the Heated front seats and Heated steering wheel provide immediate warmth, ensuring you stay comfortable even before the engine fully warms up.

Combined with the ParkView Back-Up Camera, you have a clear view of your surroundings, reducing the stress of parking in busy areas. The Rear collision warning system adds an extra layer of protection by alerting you to potential hazards behind the vehicle.
The truck's foundation of safety includes 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes and Brake assist, providing reliable stopping power in various conditions. Inside, a comprehensive array of 6 airbags, including Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags and Seat-mounted side impact airbags, surrounds the occupants. For those traveling with younger family members, the Manual rear child safety door locks and 3-point seatbelts in all positions offer peace of mind. Even the small details, like Low level warnings for fuel and washer fluid, ensure that you are always prepared for the journey ahead.
Exterior & Design
The exterior of this RAM 1500 is a masterclass in modern truck design. The Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat paint glistens under the sun, highlighted by the Chrome Front Bumper and Chrome Rear Step Bumper.

Rolling on 20' X 9' Aluminum Chrome Clad Wheels, this pickup has a commanding stance that is further enhanced by the Active grille shutters which improve aerodynamics at highway speeds.
Functionality is built into the exterior as well. The Class IV tow rating and Trailer hitch mean this truck is ready to work from day one, while the Trailer sway control and Trailer wiring harness ensure that towing is as safe and stable as possible.
