2009 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Laramie Quad Cab 4WD

Dodge effectively incorporates four-wheel drive into the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Quad Cab without compromising the features of the corresponding rear-wheel-drive trim. The four-wheel-drive version adds a 205mm heavy-duty front axle and Goodyear tires, but it doesn’t sacrifice payload (1,570 lbs) or towing (8,750 lbs) capacities. It’s also got the same bed – 76.3 inches long and 66.4 inches wide – and the same 5.7-liter V8 Hemi engine under the hood.
