Hoist yourself into the driver's seat of any model and you gain a quick appreciation of Dodge's determination to add more interior space. An extra three inches of length has been added to both Regular and Quad Cabs. That was fine with most Quad Cab owners who regard their trucks almost as SUVs and put more emphasis on passenger room than cargo space. Customers opting for the long box proved to be a different kettle of fish. They told us, 'don't touch my eight-foot box'.
Shoulder belts are now available for center passengers.
Drivers can claim back some of the extra space with more front seat travel as well as improved storage and convenience features. Dodge has also stolen a page from Ford's playbook with available power adjustable pedals. Maximum towing on the Quad Cab improves to 3,788 kg from 3,470 kg while the Regular Cab is now 3,928 kg, up from 3,606 kg on its predecessor. Those numbers reflect the faith Dodge has in its new truck and adds one more tick in the plus column of a truck that features improved performance, greater durability and new levels of safety, comfort and utility. All in a package that's unmistakably Ram.
