Depending on which trim level you choose, you’ll have the option to pick between a diesel or gasoline engine.

Cab Options

Ram trucks feature three distinct cab options that allow for longer bed length without sacrificing interior volume. Regular Cab offers either a 6-foot 4-inch bed with seating for three people. Also available on the Regular Car is an 8-foot bed that still offers the same 62.5 cubic feet of interior volume. Quad Cab® offers a 6-foot 4-inch bed and an impressive 116.6 cubic feet of interior volume and seating up to six passengers. Finally, Crew Cab comes with either a 5-foot 7-inch bed or a 6-foot 4-inch bed and an unheard of 125.3 cubic feet of interior volume.
