What size bed does a Dodge Ram Quad Cab have?
The Dodge Ram Quad Cab typically offers two bed lengths: a short 5 feet 7 inches and a longer 6 feet 4 inches.
Historically, the Quad Cab designation referred to Ram pickups with four doors, paired with two common bed lengths. In newer generations, Ram shifted toward the Crew Cab naming, but many Quad Cab models (especially used ones) still show the two-bed configurations. Always verify the exact bed length on any specific vehicle listing or window sticker.
Bed size options for Quad Cab models
Here are the bed lengths most commonly associated with Quad Cab configurations. Availability varied by model year and trim.
- 5 feet 7 inches (67 inches) short bed
- 6 feet 4 inches (76 inches) standard/long bed
These two bed lengths were the standard pairing for Quad Cab Ram 1500 pickups. When shopping used, confirm the exact bed length for the individual vehicle, as some years or promotions offered different configurations.
Legacy and current context
While Dodge transitioned to the Ram branding, the Quad Cab label was largely phased out in favor of Crew Cab in newer generations. The two-bed-length option—5'7" and 6'4"—remains common for Ram 1500 configurations, including many used Quad Cab examples. The 8-foot bed is not offered on Quad Cab models, and is typically reserved for other cab/bed combinations.
Why bed size matters
The bed length affects cargo capacity, payload handling, and maneuverability. A short bed (5'7") is easier to fit in tight spaces, while a long bed (6'4") provides more hauling room in a single trip. Always verify the exact bed length for the specific vehicle you’re considering, as trims and model years can vary.
Summary
In short, a Dodge Ram Quad Cab has historically been paired with either a 5'7" short bed or a 6'4" long bed. The Quad Cab naming has largely given way to Crew Cab in newer Ram models, but these two bed-length options continue to appear on Ram pickups, including many used Quad Cab examples. When shopping, confirm the bed length on the exact vehicle to ensure it meets your hauling needs.
