Interior Features

The RAM 1500’s cabin is widely considered the most luxurious in the segment, and the 2026 model raises the bar further. Spacious seating for up to five in Crew Cab models ensures comfort, while available premium leather, open-pore wood, and contrast stitching bring a luxury feel.

Rear passengers aren’t forgotten – the Crew Cab offers class-leading legroom, available reclining rear seats, and even ventilated rear seating on higher trims. Storage solutions abound, with RAM’s in-floor storage bins, a wide center console, and clever under-seat compartments. Cargo and cabin organization make the 1500 as practical as it is comfortable. Dual-zone or available tri-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and active noise cancellation make this pickup a true long-distance cruiser.

Practical features include the available multifunction tailgate, which opens barn-door style or drops conventionally, and the RAMBox® Cargo Management System built into the bed rails for weatherproof storage.
