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.
