RAM 1500 Crew Cab vs. Quad Cab

The RAM 1500 is one of the most popular models in the Indianapolis and it’s no surprise that so many customers like the rugged construction and cutting-edge engineering of the latest model. But if you’re deciding between the RAM 1500 Crew Cab vs. Quad Cab, which is the better option? Both vehicles offer tons of space and options, but you might find that one choice suits you better than the other. Whether you prefer the customizability of the Crew Cab or the packages of the Quad Cab, you’ll be blown away by the RAM 1500 lineup.

MSRP and Performance

The good news is that regardless of your pick, you’ll enjoy one of the most powerful and rugged rides in all of Carmel when you choose a RAM 1500. Engine options range from the 3.0L Ecodiesel V6 to the 3.6L V6 Pentastar to the two 5.7L HEMI V8 options, which leads to a max horsepower of up to 395 hp – and you can choose between 2-wheel and 4-wheel drivetrains on either option. 

However, budget-minded drivers might appreciate the slightly lower starting MSRP on the Crew Cab Tradesman level. Is the higher price of the Quad Cab worth the extra features for you?

Options and Packages

If you’re looking for a larger bed size and comparing the Crew Cab vs. Quad Cab, you can probably go with either option. The 6-foot 4-inch bed is offered for both, but these differences may affect your decision:

• If you prefer the 5-foot 7-inch for easier maneuverability, the Crew Cab is your best choice. This smaller option can fit easily in tight parking spaces in Zionsville, and you might find that it fits in your garage better. 
• And while the Crew Cab alone has a 5-foot 7-inch bed, the Quad Cab alone has the Max Tow Package which boosts your towing capabilities.
