Why Kansas Families Love the 2022 RAM 1500 Crew Cab
If you're hauling three car seats, a week's worth of groceries, and everything for Saturday's football game, the 2022 RAM 1500 Crew Cab might be your perfect truck. I know because I've tested full-size pickups with my own three daughters, and trust me, if a truck can handle their chaos, it can handle yours.
The Crew Cab configuration gives you adult-sized rear doors and more backseat space than most cars and SUVs. No more contortionist moves to buckle a toddler. No more "Dad, my legs are squished" complaints on the drive to Kansas City. This is a real family truck that happens to tow up to 12,000 pounds of hard-work when you need it to.
Real-World Kansas Performance
Let's talk about what matters on the road:
Winter capability: The 4x4 system handles everything from icy K-7 on-ramps to muddy fields and job sites. Ground clearance is generous enough that you're not scraping on rural Leavenworth gravel driveways (ask me how I know).
Towing power: The 5.7L HEMI V8 pulls a 6,000-pound boat or enclosed trailer without breaking a sweat. If you're hauling equipment trailers around Bonner Springs or Douglas county, you won’t have any trouble taking on curves, hills, or rough weather.
Daily driving: Here's the surprising part--it's actually comfortable for your 40-minute commute. The Big Horn trim includes an 8.4-inch touchscreen, heated seats, and solid fuel economy (17 city / 23 highway) for a full-size truck.
Three Car Seats? No Problem.
I've personally fit three forward-facing car seats across the back row of a full-size pickup. It's tight with bulky seats, but two boosters plus one infant seat? Easy. You don’t have to make the minivan switch if you don’t want to. The LATCH anchors are accessible, and the rear doors open wide enough that you're not banging your head on the door frame.
The center console is massive--holds tablets, juice boxes, and the random toys that multiply in trucks. Rear floor is flat, so passengers’ feet rest comfortably.
Specs That Matter

Common Questions from Kansas Buyers
Is the HEMI reliable?
Yes--with regular maintenance. Change the oil every 5,000 miles, don't skip the transmission service, and these engines routinely hit 200,000+ miles.
How's it handle winter?
Excellent with the 4x4 engaged. Throw some sandbags in the bed if you're driving empty in January, and you'll have zero issues.
Can I fit lumber/plywood flat in the bed?
The 6'4" bed handles 8-foot boards diagonally. The 5'7" bed requires tailgate-down for long materials.
What about maintenance costs?
Parts are cheap (this is a RAM, not a European luxury truck). Most shops in the Kansas City area can service these with their eyes closed.
Why Buy Used vs. New?
A 2-3 year old RAM 1500 loses about 30% of its value the moment it leaves the lot. Let someone else take that depreciation hit. You get the same truck, same capability, same comfortable ride--just $15,000 cheaper.
Plus, 2022 models already have the bugs worked out from the 2019 redesign. You're getting a proven platform.
Bottom Line: The Right Truck for Kansas Life
The 2022 RAM 1500 Crew Cab isn't trying to be fancy. It's trying to be useful--and for families or small business owners who need to haul people and stuff, it nails it.
If you're tired of cramming your family into a midsize SUV or paying $60,000 for a brand-new truck, this is worth a test drive.
