My biggest hatred of the Ram trucks

[xrsman]

I'm a sales rep and I travel a bit for work. Whoever at Ram decided that these ****** hooks would be suitable should be kicked in the head. I usually have a passenger, so I can only use one hook. I have a hard time getting 2 suits and a couple dress shirts hung up! One usually falls off and gets wrinkled. What an absolutely terrible design. Ford has done it right. With theirs you can buy a rod that extends across to hang your stuff up. I've had to resort to leaving one suit bag in the box of the truck.

Sorry for the rant, this just really grinds my gears!

Anyone know of a rod that will work in these trucks?

I feel your pain on this one. They do work better with the seat down but, you are still limited to how much you can hang on there. Picking up dry cleaning usually involves flipping the flat floor over and laying everything on the floor.

I agree, when I come home for some weekends i can only hang like 4 to 5 shirts

I wasn't going to originally but, I was thinking of doing the mod to flip down the rear seat just for this reason. It seems items would hang better behind the rear seat but, they then I guess they'd be crushed by the seat.

Not alone, this drives me nuts on mine as well. Probably going to end up rigging something like this up

Why not get like a shower rod and put it between the two windows? Could be like a closet back there.

What would you hang it to though?

Was going to say pressure fit, but guess you have to open the door lol.

Get some spare rear tweeter covers, and screw some hooks into those.

Literally just throwing out the first thing to mind here lol.

The picture of the extension is a really cool product.

This may be a good solution also.

There's nothing to hook it to. I've got one of those, but can't use it

They did it so you can open the door and not have to move the clothes to get to the inside...but it does suck.

I used one of them in the silverado I had....won't work in a Ram.



I was gonna make something for mine that has hooks that catch the factory ones, and then stand offs that hold it out about 3-4" from the back glass, with a rod between the 2 hooks...so I can put as many clothes on it as I need. the hooks would freely rotate on the rod, so it can be collapsed for storage.

Kinda like this.....

Don't think that will work due to the way the hook is situated and it's shape.....but let us know if it does.

you can get ones that hang off the seat rest.i'd like to junk punch the engineer that decided the antenna on the hd should be at the rear of the cab because we don't carry a camper or a rack or anything like that ,so we don't need to worry about it being obstructed or anything.

put a bed cap on. they can be optioned with a place to hang cloths.
