How long is the Ram 1500 Crew Cab 5.7 box?
The bed length for a Ram 1500 Crew Cab configured with a 5'7" box is 5 feet 7 inches long, which is 67 inches (about 170 cm). This measurement refers to the cargo bed itself, not the overall vehicle length.
Bed length options for the Ram 1500 Crew Cab
For the Crew Cab, Ram offers two bed-length options. The following list outlines the standard choices so you can compare configuration details when shopping.
- 5'7" bed (67 inches / about 170 cm) — the shorter bed option
- 6'4" bed (76.3 inches / about 194 cm) — the longer bed option
Note that the 5'7" bed is the specific "box" length referenced in the question; the 6'4" bed offers more cargo space behind the cab but a longer overall footprint.
What does the "box" refer to?
In Ram's terminology, the "box" is the cargo bed. It is separate from the engine, cab configuration, or wheelbase, and it directly determines the available cargo space behind the rear seats. For Crew Cab configurations, the two standard box lengths are 67 inches (5'7") and 76.3 inches (6'4").
Impact on overall length and practical considerations
Overall vehicle length varies by model year, drivetrain, and trim, but a Ram 1500 Crew Cab with the 5'7" box typically measures in the low 230s inches range (roughly 231–232 inches; about 19.3 feet). For precise measurements, check the official spec sheet for the exact year and trim you’re interested in.
Summary
In short, the Ram 1500 Crew Cab with a 5'7" bed has a cargo box length of 67 inches. If you need more bed length for payload or cargo, the 6'4" box is available. Always verify year- and trim-specific specifications with the dealer or the manufacturer’s spec sheet.
