1500 Crew CAB Express Pickup 4D 5 1/2 FT|$19,991

This 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab Express 4X4 is a clean, V8-powered work-and-tow truck with one big advantage over almost anything else in its class: a brand-new crate 5.7L HEMI V8 under the hood, backed by a 3-year/unlimited-mile warranty with supporting documentation. The single most expensive question a high-mileage half-ton can raise what happens when the engine gives up has already been answered here, and answered with a fresh, warranted long block rather than a patched-up original.
