And there’s still enough room between each bin to lay a sheet of plywood flat in the pickup bed.” “Truck buyers want dry, lockable storage, and Rambox not only meets that need, it takes it a step further with the addition of built-in lights and drains. The idea for RamBox was hatched at the initial stages of research for the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram. Engineers and designers had market research that told them that dry, lockable storage was critical to light-duty pickup owners who used their trucks for a variety of lifestyle activities. “We challenged ourselves to mine additional storage space in the Dodge Ram,” said Allen. “We knew it would have to be integrated into the pickup bed, and it had to be serviceable for all the uses that pickup truck owners would put it through.”ĭodge designers and engineers began with the simple premise that additional storage shouldn’t look like an afterthought, and it had to be sized to keep enough width in the pickup bed for a standard sheet of plywood. The team went through more than a dozen different designs before RamBox emerged. RamBox side bins create storage along each side of the pickup bed, space previously left untouched because of wheel-well intrusion. RamBox bins fit the length of the pickup bed and incorporate the space over each wheel well to secure cargo within a lit, lockable and drainable container. Lids include swing hinges with intermediate and full-open positions that lift the lid 90 degrees perpendicular to each side. Total capacity of both bins is 7.4 cubic feet – slightly more than a 55-gallon drum. RamBox also functions as a cargo management system. Side bins are large enough to hold items including a set of golf clubs, helmets, toolboxes, kayak paddles, fishing rods, chainsaws – or 12-ounce cans with ice.
