2024 RAM 3500 Space: Interior and Exterior

One of the most important parts of a truck is its bed. Buyers can choose from a 6’4” or an 8’ bed size. Getting exactly what you need and nothing you don’t. These beds can be outfitted with a variety of optional equipment, including a 115-volt, 400-watt outlet. If you’re looking to forgo the traditional bed altogether, the RAM 3500 is also available in a chassis cab for ultimate on-the-job practicality.

RAM 3500 drivers can choose between a crew cab, regular cab, and mega cab, depending on the trim. The mega cab boasts best-in-class rear seating space, while the regular and crew cab mirrors what you would expect from those cab sizes compared to heavy-duty trucks. It’s safe to say that if you need to carry passengers in your truck, RAM has you in mind.

The interior of these cabs can be as no-frills or as opulent as you choose. With various trim levels come different levels of simplicity or luxury, giving buyers more control over the price they pay for their heavy-duty trucks.

Notably, the off-roading trims available on the RAM 2500, the Power Wagon and the Rebel aren’t available on the RAM 3500.
