I love my crew cab. I went with a base model tradesman I don't need anything posh anymore.

We purchased a used 2014 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Bighorn with the 5.7l hemi. We have had it now for 7 months and have no complaints! I would buy another and not think twice about it. Plenty of room in the crew cab for my two girls and dog and plenty of power to pull my 20' boat. Would not hesitate to pull something larger. Good luck with your search!

I have been averaging 19 mpg (this is both city and highway combined and not pulling the boat). Just highway mileage (not pulling the boat) is 22 mpg. I have not traveled long distances with the boat (live close to the boat ramp) but would guess it to be around 16 mpg.
