The Base Model? Maybe Not.

I looked at a 2019 quad cab 1500 express 4 x 4 in red pearl midnight edition . It comes with the subzero package and a trailer hitch for 25,400 USD . What a sweet ride.

Why would you want a quad cab when you could have a crew cab?

Why would you want a quad cab when you could have a crew cab?

I bought a quad cab because I needed the longer bed and didn’t need a bigger cab. A crew cab with the 6’4” bed is harder to live with what with parking garages etc.

OP you can do better on price. Much better.

Edit: I looked up the sub zero package and it includes a lot like remote start, heated seats and steering wheel, power seat. If this truck also includes a real tow package not just the hitch then it would be sweet. So I don’t think you can really do better on price.

Because I haul a 6 foot ladder not a 6 foot kid.

Why would you have bought a crew when you could have bought a mega?

seriously tho, y do they even make quads?

Because people buy them for reasons.

I dunno man people sure gave me a lot of crap when I tried to buy a RCSB, but Ram sold more RCSB's than Promaster vans in '15.. so if there's no reason to make RCSB's then there must be no reason to make probably half the cars anyone makes that sell less than 30k units per year.

Trucks keep getting bigger because emissions standards are tied to footprint, so the bigger they can make the truck the more fuel it's "allowed" to consume before catching penalties.

Garages, parking lots and streets aren't getting bigger though

I dont ride in the back seat so why have a crew cab? each to their own but i prefer a longer bed to haul more stuff. if i wanted to haul people i wouldnt have a truck i would get a suv.

How about:

Actually probably not much better. I looked up th sub zero package and it includes a lot like remote start, heated seats and steering wheel, power seat. If this truck also includes a real tow package not just the hitch then it would be sweet.

He/she could be looking at a better price, he/she could be looking at a longer bed and a better price, he/she may like the smaller door in the back ? in any case it's his/her choice so why do you need to know what HIS/HER reasons are? Granted if he/she is buying the truck for you maybe you'll get to have a say in the picture

Price sounds pretty good to me on a non-high end build. Is the MSRP not over $38k?

Every time someone asks when the 5th gen rcsb comes out.
They should refer to this.
Footprint, penalties, epa. Don’t forget all the crash testing etc involved in an chassis that’s independent to the model.
Why would they build a rcsb is a better question.

The RCSB thing is weird, I was just thinking about this when I stopped at the grocery store for lunch today I parked my RCSB Ram next to a RCSB Chevy, maybe a 2012 or so model, walked past an old RCSB Tacoma, there were at least 3 other RCSB pickup cabs clearly visible in the parking lot while I was walking up to the store and none of them were even vintage survivors they were all at most 10 years old. But I didn't see a single Fiat 500 or a Dodge Challenger or any kind of Alfa Romeo or Maserati.

It's not even as hard to make a RCSB as it is to make a unique model of car because you can reuse almost every part of the quad cab, same windshield and hood and headlights and all that stuff..

Maybe they screwed up the reg cab production schedule when Ram was talking about closing their Saltillo plant, where the reg cabs were all manufactured. But then they decided to keep Saltillo open

The "towing package" on a Ram with the 8 spd just adds the towing mirrors and brake controller. The factory towing mirrors don't power fold. The trans cooler is actually the top section of what's also the AC condenser.

You might put quotes around the towing package for a 1500, but I wouldn't. It's a class IV hitch, wiring plus 7 pin and 4 pin connectors, fully integrated brake controller, tow/haul mode, transmission oil cooler, and manual towing mirrors.

Not to mention they are still going to make 2500 regular cabs, right? In that case, they might as well make the 1500 regular cab as well. If the cab is still being made, and as you mentioned the parts from other cabs can be used, why not offer it?

He/She .... just look below the belt, easiest way to tell, without question and for sure.
Then it;s only a matter of ****** preference and how much lace is in the underwear drawers.

LBGT eieio

Like trying to find 9,000 ways to say it's Sunny outside.

Why would you want a quad cab when you could have a crew cab?

I have a QuadCab because the kids moved out years ago, and aside from the occasional visiting offspring, the back seat is mostly used to keep stuff dry on its way home during the rainy season - so I do have a perfectly good use for the back seat even if it never held a single butt. Do I need a CrewCab? Not really - didn't need that much enclosed space back there, and I wasn't willing to pay the premium for it either.
