      4 x 4 refers to the power delivery to all four wheels, as compared to FWD, RWD, or AWD. It’s not a brand or model of truck. You can see the model badge on the side, which says it is a RAM 1500 Warlock with a Crew Cab and a 5’7" box. RAM is the make, which is owned by Dodge, and 1500 is the model, which is a light duty half-ton truck comparable to an Ford F150, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, or Toyota Tundra. The Crew Cab means a full size back seat at the expense of a shorter bed. The Warlock trim level is new for 2025, and implies comfort and style over function.

      So you’re correct that this is probably more of a fashion accessory than a work vehicle, but it’s not because of the drivetrain.

        Thank you for clearing a misconception; I thought 4x4 refered to the bed size, being half of the usual 4x8 feet.

          Gotcha. No, the bed sizes are usually short 5’7" for Crew Cabs, standard 6’5" for standard cabs or extended cabs with a shorter half back seat, and long 8’ which is already too long for a parking spot with a standard cabin. Width of truck beds is usually ~70" at the widest and ~50" between the wheels.
