How long is a crew cab long bed ram?

In practical terms, a RAM crew-cab long-bed pickup is about 232 inches long for the light-duty RAM 1500, and roughly 260–270 inches long for the heavy-duty RAM 2500/3500 with an 8-foot bed. Exact numbers depend on the model year and specific configuration.


RAM uses “Crew Cab” to denote four full-size doors and “Long Bed” to refer to the extended bed option. The long-bed length is typically 6 feet 4 inches (76 inches) for light-duty RAM 1500 configurations, while heavy-duty RAM trucks offer an 8-foot bed. Because dimensions shift with generations and trims, checking the official spec sheet for the exact year is the most reliable way to confirm length.


RAM 1500: Crew Cab with Long Bed (6'4" Bed)


On the RAM 1500 lineup, the long-bed option is the 6'4" bed paired with a Crew Cab. This combination yields a longer overall vehicle length than the short-bed variant, making it the go-to choice when bed space is a priority.

RAM Heavy Duty: Crew Cab with Long Bed (8' Bed)


The heavy-duty RAM lineup (2500/3500) offers an 8-foot bed with a Crew Cab in many configurations, designed for maximum cargo and towing capability. This setup is noticeably longer than the light-duty variant.

Factors That Can Influence Overall Length


Several factors can affect the measured length of a RAM crew-cab long-bed truck, including axle choices, options packages, and minor design changes across model years. When planning garage space, towing routes, or bed usage, rely on the official measurements for the exact year you’re considering.


Summary


The RAM crew-cab long-bed configuration spans roughly 232 inches (about 19.3 feet) for the RAM 1500 and about 260–270 inches (roughly 21.7–22.5 feet) for the RAM 2500/3500 heavy-duty models with an 8-foot bed. Exact figures vary by year and trim, so always check the specific spec sheet for the model year in question.
