Dodge RAM QuadCab Pickup

The unusual balance in the Dodge RAM QuadCab Pickup is a passenger cabin paired with a separate open bed, so one vehicle can carry people and bulky gear. That makes a pickup practical for work, home projects, and trips where a closed trunk would be limiting. The QuadCab layout gives rear passengers more room than a basic single-cab truck, while keeping the bed available for dirty or awkward loads. By our assessment, this is a strong all-round pickup format, not just a work vehicle. The trade-off is size: a full-size truck takes more thought in tight streets and parking spaces than a car or smaller pickup. Its open bed also leaves cargo exposed unless it is covered or secured. Compared with an SUV, it is better suited to loads that do not fit inside the cabin, but less convenient for keeping everything enclosed. Fuel use and maneuvering are part of the ownership trade for this class. The rear cabin and cargo bed still have to fit within one large vehicle when the parking space is narrow.
