Which Ram 1500 Cab Style Is Right for Me? Some trucks have three cab styles, but there are only two for the Ram 1500. The Quad Cab is an extended cab with smaller rear doors, and the Crew Cab has full-sized rear doors. Most trims come standard with the Quad Cab, and the Crew Cab is available in every trim. The Limited Longhorn, Limited, and TRX come only with the Crew Cab. Upgrading to the Crew Cab is probably worth the cost if you routinely have adult passengers riding in the back of your truck. The Crew Cab gives occupants almost 10 more inches of extra legroom than the Quad Cab.

Ram 1500 Performance: A Smooth Ride, and No Shortage of Power Ram 1500 Engine The Ram's base engine is a 305-horsepower V6. Several engines are available: a 260-horsepower V6 diesel, two 395-horsepower V8s (one of which is a mild-hybrid), and the 702-horsepower supercharged V8 powering the all-new Ram TRX. A smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic pairs with every engine. None of these engines are bad choices. Even the base V6 moves the truck well during city and highway driving and brings with it decent towing ability. The V8s are more energetic, and along with the diesel engine, are the best options for towing. The new TRX is absurdly powerful, with sports-car-worthy acceleration. It'll go from zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. Ram 1500 Gas Mileage With its base V6 engine and rear-wheel drive, the Ram gets 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway – good ratings for the class.
