Of course, if you aren’t looking to tow, the Ram 1500 provides plenty of other storage and hauling options, the most obvious being the truck bed. Depending on your choice of trim, you’ll have access to a 6-foot 4-inch box with 61.5 cubic feet of cargo volume, or a 5-foot 7-inch box with 53.9 cubic feet of cargo volume.

Depending on your choice of trim, you’ll have up to 2,300 pounds of max payload capacity when properly configured. Whether you’re getting ready to tailgate the big game or you’re stocking up for a big project, you’ll have plenty of room to pile in what you need.

An available multi-function tailgate makes managing your payload storage even easier. The 60/40 split swing-away doors open to 88°, while the tailgate opens to a traditional 180° for easy access to your items. The tailgate also has the strength to take on up to 2,000 pounds by itself!

Ram 1500 Interior

Inside the Ram 1500, you’ll find first-class comfort thanks to a spacious cabin built with premium materials, like optional Natura Plus Leather. Let’s take a closer look at how the cabin measures:
