In fact, Ram has reduced the price of both 6-foot-4-inch and 5-foot-7-inch RamBoxes by 32 percent to an attractive $1,295. ![]() With the added length and volume, the new RamBox can hold long-handled shovels, one-piece fishing rods and up to 140 beverage cans.įor 2012, buyers will find that RamBox pricing has not increased. Interior volume grows proportionately, from 7.3 cubic feet to 8.6 cubic feet. The new RamBox trucks with 6-foot-4-inch bed measures 60 inches in length versus 50.5 inches for the 5-foot-7-inch model – an increase of 18 percent. Today’s announcement means that the RamBox option is now available on more than 80 percent of all Ram pickups. Having convenient, secure storage for your gear – whether it’s worksite tools, sporting equipment or a few cases of refreshments for the team – makes RamBox one of the greatest innovations that you’ll find on a pickup truck.” “We have dramatically expanded RamBox availability and given it an outstanding price. “The 6-foot-4-inch RamBox is the definition of ‘more of a good thing,’” said Fred Diaz, President and CEO Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico – Chrysler Group LLC. Ram also will offer the RamBox option on the ST price class, making the feature available on all trim levels. Now, in addition to the 5-foot-7-inch RamBox, which was previously available only on Ram 1500 Crew Cab models, buyers can opt for RamBox on Ram pickups with 6-foot-4-inch bed lengths, including Ram 1500 regular cab and Quad Cab® models and Ram 25 (single rear wheel) Crew Cab and Mega Cab models. The addition of a 6-foot-4-inch RamBox model dramatically expands the feature’s availability to include the majority of Ram truck models. But that's what I'm looking forward to with my next Ram.The Ram Truck brand has developed a new version of the unique RamBox® cargo management system to fit Ram pickup trucks with 6-foot-4-inch bed lengths. Given that my 2020 has only 5k miles on it, it'll be a few years before my next purchase. At least until Ram comes up with a bulletproof redesign that fixes the warping for good.Īs for me, I'm hoping that my next half-ton Ram will be available with 6'4" bed with Ram Boxes, as well as a plug-in hybrid drivetrain (either diesel or gas, as Ram sees fit). BTW, my 2020 half-ton with 5'7" bed & Ram Boxes has the somewhat-warped lids, but it's not too bad, and the lids still seal well and function perfectly, so I have elected to leave the original lids in place. Also, the design of the 5'7" Ram Box on the 5th-gen DT-based half-tons has had some issues with the new plastic lids warping & bowing upward at the front & rear ends of the lids, and making the lids longer would only make that problem worse, So it behooves Ram to get the redesign of the lids for the 5th-gen 5'7" Ram Box done right before they try making them for the 6'4" bed. The current theory is that Ram won't create 6'4" Ram Box design until the HD 5th-gen redesign forces them to do so, because almost no one orders an HD with the short bed. But again, the cab, doors, and bed sheetmetal carried over. Before someone feels the need to correct my sentence that 4.5th-gen HDs were sheetmetal & cab interior changes only, Ram heavily upgraded the HD frames, axles, brakes, and of course the new 1,000 lbf-ft torque Cummins engine, so under the skin, the 4.5th-gen Ram HDs have a LOT of redesign & chassis improvements. That's why you can still get 6'4" Ram Box in the HDs, but not in the 5th-gen half-ton "DT" trucks. So the cab, doors & bed sheetmetal of the 4.5th-gen HDs carries over from the 4th-gen Rams, only the front end styling and cab interiors were upgraded on the 4.5th-gen HDs. Oversimplifying a bit here, but the current 4.5th-gen HDs are the 4th-gen "DS" platform with the cab and technology upgrades of the 2019 5th-gen "DT" platform half-tons. The current HDs are a hybrid between the previous 4th-gen Rams and the 2019 5th-gen half-tons. At that time, the author stated that it was extremely unlikely that Ram would add Ram Box option to the latest "DT" platform half-tons with 6'4" beds, at least until Ram does the next major upgrade of the HD models (2500, 3500) from the current "4.5th-gen Ram" to the full "5th-gen Ram" design for HDs. Many months ago, 5thgenrams itself did an article on this very issue. ![]()
