How long is a Ram 2500?

A Ram 2500’s length depends on its cab and bed sizes. Here’s how the measurements break down.

Regular Cab

The Ram 2500 Regular Cab is ideal as either a commuter or a light workhorse. It has a maximum length of 232 inches.

This two-door truck features room for just three occupants, though it can be as fancy as you want it to be depending on the

vehicle trim level, options, and packages

you choose. With the Regular Cab, a 6.4L V8 engine is standard, but there is an option for a 6.7L Cummins diesel inline six-cylinder engine.

The Regular Cab is only available with an 8-foot bed.

8-foot bed: Total truck length of 232 inches

Crew Cab

The Crew Cab features four doors and can seat up to six occupants. Like the Regular Cab, it comes with a standard 6.4L V8 engine with the choice of upgrading to a 6.7L diesel powertrain.

The Crew Cab can be as spartan or as opulent as you like, depending on the trim choice. The Crew Cab has an option for two beds:

6.4-foot bed: Total truck length of 238.8 inches

8-foot bed: Total truck length of 260.8 inches

Will your Ram 2500 fit in your garage?

If you’re worried about whether your prized Ram 2500 will fit in your garage, now is the time to whip out your trusty tape measure and determine the length and width of your garage. Most American garages average between 20 to 24 feet long, or 240 to 288 inches, and just under 7 feet wide, or 82 inches.

The Regular Cab with an 8-foot bed (232 inches) and the Crew Cab with a 6.4-foot bed (238.8 inches) should fit fine in most U.S. garages. Even though the Regular Cab sports an 8-foot bed, the overall length of the truck is shorter than the four-door Crew Cab with an 8-foot bed.

When it comes to the Crew Cab with an 8-foot bed, it measures a whopping 260.8 inches, so it may not fit in some garages. If you have your heart set on the longest Ram 2500, be sure to measure your garage before you drive home and discover, to your horror, that your new Ram is poking out from your garage, vulnerable to the evil machinations of those neighborhood children.

Of course, the Ram 2500 should fit no problem width-wise, as it's 79.4 inches wide, or about 6.5 feet. The average garage is 12 feet wide. So, unless your spouse also has a Ram 2500, in which case you’ll have to fight to see who gets to park in the garage (good luck), you should be fine.
