For the 2021 Ram 4000, the Chassis Cab returns with more choices than ever before. There are two cab configurations and two chassis lengths, available for the 2021 model year. With Regular Cab models, there are two chassis dimensions. There is the short chassis (60-inch distance from the cab to rear axle) known as “P” and a long chassis (84-inch distance from the cab to rear axle) or “PL”. The Crew Cab model comes only in the 60-inch cab to rear axle configuration.
