Whether you are heading out solo or bringing the whole crew, the 2026 Ram 1500 offers a choice between the quad cab and the crew cab. Both seat a maximum of either five or six people, while the crew cab adds extra room for rear passengers, along with reclining rear seats, and available in-floor storage. The crew cab also opens the door to upscale touches like available 24-way power front seats with massage, heating, and ventilation, plus a 23-speaker Klipsch® Reference Premiere sound system. For a smoother ride over rough roads, you can equip the crew cab with available Active-Level™ four-corner air suspension.
Comfort on a daily commute or a weekend road trip starts with interior space, and the 2026 Ram 1500 gives you plenty of it. Each cab provides up to 40.9 inches of front legroom, and the crew cab stretches rear legroom to a generous 45.2 inches for taller passengers. When you need to carry more inside, folding the rear seat frees up to 53.3 cubic feet of interior cargo space in the quad cab and 68.5 cubic feet in the crew cab.
