The updated design of the Quad Cab cabin was obtained even without a rack between the doors. The developers strengthened the structure and made it more dense thanks to the beam that is located under the truck and the protective beams of the side doors.

The interior of the car has been completely updated and the level of functionality has been improved as much as possible. There is enough space behind for three passengers and now the pickup has become not only a “workhorse”. Among the updates is an airbag for the passenger, as well as the addition of a niche for things under the rear row of seats.

1998 Dodge RAM 1500 received a modern instrument panel and an updated steering wheel. Among the novelties, the model is equipped with heated mirrors, illumination of electric locks. In more expensive versions, an alarm system is provided.
Between the seats, the central section can be folded, thereby forming a table or a comfortable armrest.
