Exploring Ram 1500 Bed Dimensions
Your Ram 1500 bed size choices depend on the cabin, trim level, and personal preference. While the smaller 5-foot 7-inch configuration is the most common option for high-end trims, the 6-foot 4-inch length is standard, giving you over 61 cubic feet of exterior cargo space. But which trims can access which size, and what does your bed mean you can do?

Bed Size by Cab Style & Trim Level
The standard 6-foot 4-inch bed works with the Quad Cab and Crew Cab, making it the versatile, hard-working pick for the new Ram 1500 for sale. As the longest Ram 1500 bed length, this is the best for workers. But, not many trims offer it: in fact, only six of 11 Ram 1500 levels can access it.
If you want a more luxurious truck or a slightly smaller frame, the 5-foot 7-inch bed is the more likely option. This bed, exclusive to the Crew Cab, has the same Ram 1500 bed width as the 6-foot 4-inch bed, but with less cargo space. Every Ram 1500 trim level has at least one configuration with this smaller bed, but for models like the RHO or TRX SRT, the 5-foot 7-inch length is the only choice.
Bed Size by Usage: What Can Each Truck Handle?
Ram 1500 bed volume is central to the truck's identity. But as you can see in the chart above, there's a fairly significant difference between the 5-foot 7-inch and 6-foot 4-inch boxes – and when you add a RamBox, you'll have less exterior volume. Here's what each bed type is useful for:
- 5-Foot 7-Inch: Maneuverable Capability. At 53.9 cubic feet, your bed can easily handle carrying things like yard debris or project materials. It also has a slightly more compact frame, making it simple to drive and park. With the RamBox standard on trims like the Tungsten, it works well for contractors and others who tend to tote around a lot of tools. If you carry the same gear consistently, choose the configuration that offers a better ride and lower curb weight.
- 6-Foot 4-Inch: DIY Work. An expansive Ram 1500 cargo space of 61.5 cubic feet, extra length, and a tiny bit of additional depth lets more sit in the back of your truck. When your day-to-day involves thousands of pounds of debris or heavy machines of different shapes and sizes, or you like to spend the weekends heading to the lake with your canoes, a longer box is the clear choice.
Standard & Available Bed Features
When you build one of our Ram trucks, you can add several features and amenities to make hauling simple. For example:

- Bed Utility Group: An exterior 115-volt outlet, four adjustable cargo tie-downs, and spray-in bedliner by Mopar work together to make a comfortable space for any haul.
- Cameras: Options like a Surround-View Camera can help you check your blind spots when carrying a larger payload.
- Deployable Bed Step: A retractable step can assist you when loading heavy cargo onto your truck.
- On-Board Power System: A 400-watt inverter is good for those who need a power supply for tools on construction sites.
- Remote Power Tailgate: A control lets you lower or raise your tailgate with the push of a button – perfect when you're carrying heavy weight.
- Multifunction Tailgate: Swing your tailgate down or open the doors in a 60/40 split – whichever works best for your stowing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the RamBox affect Ram 1500 bed size?
The RamBox does restrict Ram 1500 bed size, with the 5-foot 7-inch box going from 53.9 cubic feet to 40.6 cubic feet of space. But it offers secure, lockable compartments perfect for tools and accessories. These containers also include lighting, a 115-volt outlet, and drainage systems.
How wide is the Ram 1500 bed between the wheel wells?
Between the wheel wells, the Ram 1500 is 51 inches long, or just over four feet. That is plenty for most tools, though larger boards will require some balancing on the wells or tilted to the side. Outside the wheel wells, the Ram 1500's bed is 66.4 inches wide, or 5.5 feet.
Will a 4x8 sheet of plywood fit in a Ram 1500 bed?
Yes, a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit in a Ram 1500, but you will need to lean it on the cab or strap it to the tailgate at an upward angle. It would be able to sit between the wheel wells, but it would extend past even the longest bed option of 6 feet 4 inches.
