How big is the Ram bed?
Ram pickups offer two bed sizes on the light-duty Ram 1500 (67 inches and 76 inches) and two on the heavy-duty Ram 2500/3500 (76 inches and 96 inches). Exact availability depends on the cab configuration and model year.
Bed options by model
Light-duty Ram 1500
The Ram 1500 provides two standard bed lengths to choose from. The shorter bed is 5 feet 7 inches (67 inches) and the longer bed is 6 feet 4 inches (76 inches). Availability varies with cab style and trim level.
Before you review the sizes, here is a quick summary of the two common bed lengths for the Ram 1500:
- 5'7" bed (67 inches)
- 6'4" bed (76 inches)
The two lengths cover most daily hauling needs, from furniture to equipment, with the 6'4" bed offering extra space for longer loads.
Heavy-duty Ram 2500/3500
The heavy-duty Ram 2500 and 3500 offer a longer bed option for contractors and heavy-hauling use. In addition to the 6'4" bed, there is an 8' long bed available in many configurations. As with the 1500, bed availability depends on cab configuration and chassis.
Before listing the heavy-duty options, note the standard long-bed choices:
- 6'4" bed (76 inches)
- 8' bed (96 inches)
The 8' bed maximizes cargo length, while the 6'4" bed balances payload and maneuverability for daily driving.*
Practical considerations when choosing a Ram bed
Beyond length, consider cargo volume, bed width (between the inner walls), and features such as bed liners, tie-downs, and storage options like RamBox. Some configurations may limit certain features or require specific trims. For precise figures, consult the official spec sheet for your exact year and model configuration.
How to choose the right bed for your needs
To pick the right bed size, map out typical loads (length and height of items), measure access space for parking and garaging, and consider whether you need long-haul capability or tighter maneuverability. If possible, test-fit items in both bed lengths and discuss options with a Ram dealer to confirm availability for your cab configuration.
Summary
In summary, Ram bed sizes vary by model: the Ram 1500 offers 67-inch and 76-inch beds, while the Ram 2500/3500 offers 76-inch and 96-inch beds. Always verify the exact bed length for your year, trim, and cab configuration with official Ram specifications or a dealership to ensure you get the right fit for your hauling needs.
