Hi guys - I've enjoyed and learned on this forum for a while but finally need to break down and ask my own questions.

Probably a long shot, but would carpet from a 2006 Ram 1500 Quad Cab fit the same model 2005?
By "fit", I mean molded and shaped in the same locations, same distance to rear under seat bench storage area, etc. Extra or missing cut-outs (ex: manual vs auto), however, are not a concern.

Rock Auto and all online Mopar parts show all flavors of the 2005 year carpet as Discontinued.
But at least one color carpet for a 2006 is still available.

Thanks!

According to Rockauto, carpet part numbers overlap between the two. Go for it.

Hi HemiLonestar - I appreciate your taking time to reply.

Sometimes I'm a bit dense, so I may be misunderstanding what you found.

The part numbers I have for 2005 Quad Cab carpet are:
5GT53WL8AF: [L5/Taupe]
5GT53XDVAF: [DV/Slate Gray]

Those part nums show Discontinued everywhere I have checked.

The only 2006 Quad Cab carpet showing as still available for purchase is:
1FE73XDHAB: [Slate Gray, 2006-2008]

Did you see the 1FE73XDHAB as applying to 2005 year also? I am unable to find that on Rock Auto.

If it isn't too much trouble, could you share a carpet part number that was common between the two?
Thanks again!

It appears I may actually have bought he last 5GT53XDVAF in existence last year when I redid my interior lol. So all I did (without diving into specific shades and part numbers) was check to see if there were part numbers shared by both years. It sounds like you're stuck with an aftermarket carpet. What I checked:

These part numbers match across both years, so you know fitment is the same. All you have to do now is find the color you need.

Rock Auto cart is strange. When I looked a few weeks ago, it showed 5GT53XDVAF as available. But now, it says not available. I first though maybe someone JUST now purchased the last one.
But a few days ago, 1FE73XDHAB (2006-2008) was showing available, but once I tried adding it to the card, it immediately said Not Available. So I think the act of trying to add it to the cart somehow "refreshed" their database.

Best I can tell, the difference in the 2006-2008 carpet would be this cutout:
1FE73XDHAB.jpg

I'm fairly confident it's not the M/T provision but is for some other black module that mounts in that area.
On my 2005, the center folding seat/lid console should cover that hole.

I may have found a few sources for 1FE73XDHAB, but not going to post them here until after I purchase so no one else steals it away :).

So turns out I had actually bought 5GT53XDVAD, not F (same thing, just earlier part number version) on Amazon (they had the best price): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XPZK868/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unfortunately they don't have any version of the one you're looking for, but I hope it works out. Lay out flat in the sun for as long as you can to let it unroll and settle out. After I put mine in the truck and let the sun cook it inside the truck a little more. Laid right into place except for where I put the console bracket (had to cut slits for that).

Thanks a lot for the photo of the 5GT53XDVAD/F.
I believe that is the "Dark Slate Gray"?

My interior is the "Taupe" tan/caramel color, and I think the Dark Slate Gray would look good contrasted with the Taupe.
But I'm now second-guessing the 2006 color, which is described as "Medium Slate Gray".
In the few photos I could find online, it does appear to be a lighter, almost bluish gray color, and I'm not sure how a light gray will look with the tan interior (still searching for photos where someone has done that).

So as much as I wanted the factory fit, finish, and sound deadening carpet, I may have to go with the aftermarket carpet selection which is available in a darker gray.

Awesome - ordered!

Now... I really like those dark gray leather seats that I've seen with the RAM logo, to replace my cloth seats... :)
Maybe next on my list.

Wish I could find someone with a 4th Gen quad cab that has the vinyl floor but wants carpet. I hate the carpet, would kill for vinyl in my 19 classic.

No way Id pay $620 for automotive carpet.
Good for you......? Better to get factory fit/form/function in this case, especially with a carpet that big. I've seen some horrible ones...

And that's a discount price! Well for me, it's just what HemiLonestar said. The factory carpet has the exact fitment and has sound deadening foam in the right places. I don't mind paying for that.

I hadn't seen that website, but the photos look like ACC Carpet (Auto Custom Carpets) which is a prominent aftermarket carpet manufacturer.

Someone probably has a patent on that little retainer clip, and they don't want to pay royalties - something like this:
https://patents.google.com/patent/JP2011168145A/en?

That or they're just being cheap!
