is ram gonna make a single cab 5th gen ram? maybe r/t package?
any news ?
Would a quad cab be a reasonable compromise?Just what I'm looking for. The used prices are nutty. Last I heard there may be a change in plans and the 4th gen may continue a couple more years before the 5th gen gets a standard cab if ever. I'm waiting to see if the 2020 4th gen will add some options and not just continue with work truck trim. I'd like to get one. The crew cabs are just bigger then I need or want and the 5th gen are even larger. With all the problems they are having, I've pretty much written off the 5th gens anyway. It's getting slim pickens out there for what I want. Chevy has screwed me too often so I won't buy that. Fords look cheap and I don't care for lawn mower engines with turbos strapped all over it. The new 5.0 has problems. Toyota is behind the times and Honda is too low and too light duty. So if no upper trim 4th gen Ram standard cab next year, I'm out of options.

You mentioned that crew cabs were too big, but you didn’t say the overall length was an issue...so I was just thinking you might like the smaller cab / longer bed combo. But it sounds like it’s not just the cab that you find too big...you want the whole truck to be shorter.How so? It's the same length as a crew cab just a longer bed and shorter back seat.

Move to the country and buy a normal sized truck all kidding aside these trucks are pretty big, but I wish I got the long bed!Right. I had a Ford Lariat Crew Cab before my Ram R/T and before that a Ford F-150 Extended cab, plus numerous other single cab trucks. I did find myself wanting more space inside to put stuff when I had my Ram R/T but as far as overall size, it was just about right. I like full size trucks for the roominess and ride comfort but when I did have Crew cabs it was just too much of a hassle trying to navigate that Queen Mary sized vehicle in the Yugo sized parking spaces every civil engineer decided to design where I live. And parking downtown with metered parallel parking? Forget it. The Ram standard cab barely fits in those spaces.

The 5th gen Quad cab is about 4 inches shorter then the 5th gen crew cab short bed so it is a little shorter.How so? It's the same length as a crew cab just a longer bed and shorter back seat.

I've been on various car Forums for years and I've never seen as many problems as the 2019 Ram has so I'm not inclined to buy any 5th gen. Just read a news report on Ram recalling 340,000 2019 5th gen for air bags now.
