Ram 1500 Storage Guide: Is it the Best Truck for Cargo?

The Ultimate Truck for Space: Why the Ram 1500 Leads the Pack

If you are looking for a truck, one question likely tops your list: "What truck gives me the most cargo space for my money?" Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast, a camper, or just need a reliable daily driver, the Ram 1500 Crew Cab is designed to be the answer.

It’s not just about a big bed; it’s about smart space. With class-leading interior volume and innovative storage solutions, here is why the Ram 1500 is the number one truck for versatility. 


Largest Crew Cab in its Class

The Ram 1500 Crew Cab beats competitors (including Ford, Chevy, and Toyota) with superior interior dimensions.

Total Interior Volume: You get a massive 68.5 cubic feet of cargo space inside the cab alone.

Flat Load Floor: The rear floor folds completely flat. This isn't just for groceries; our team has literally fit a moped inside the back seat—that is how much usable vertical and horizontal space you have.


Hidden "Ram Bin" Coolers

One of the Ram’s best-kept secrets is the in-floor storage bins located in the rear floorboards.


Cooler Ready: These bins come with removable liners. You can fill them with ice and drinks (non-alcoholic Twisted Teas, sodas, etc.) for camping or tailgating.

Easy Cleaning: When you're done, just pull the liners out to dump the water and clean them.


Center Console & "Secret" Storage

The front row is designed for the modern driver.

Configurable Console: The center console is massive, with sliding compartments and pass-throughs for wired charging.

Dual Glove Boxes: In addition to the standard glove box, there is a hidden upper compartment perfect for securing valuables you want to keep out of sight. 

Cup Holder King: We counted 12 cup holders in the Crew Cab (4 in the console, plus door and rear seat holders). You might not have 12 drinks at once, but you’ll never struggle to find a spot for your coffee.


The RamBox Cargo Management System

Need more space without sacrificing the bed? The RamBox system utilizes the space over the wheel wells.


Extra Capacity: Adds roughly 8.6 cubic feet of lockable, weatherproof storage.

Power on the Go: The driver-side bin features a 115-volt power outlet, perfect for charging power tool batteries (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi) directly from your truck.
