Are there any cons to ram boxes?

Storage is good but doors don't seem to close even, looks like they are not closed all the way, top of door don't line up with rest of bed, tried adjusting, no luck. 2018 Ram 1500

My 4th Gen had em. Very useful and handy.

They do make reaching over the side of the bed harder and limit the width of the box. ( the front corner of a std bed will gain almost 1.5 feet when hauling longer objects, you can’t caddy corner items as good with the rambox) aside from the lack of aftermarket support and tonneau covers costing more they are handy.

My 5th gen has a std bed, I missed the ram boxes for a couple weeks until I figured out how to pack under my seat / rambins. Now I don’t notice they aren’t there

I definitely spent some time drooling over the Nuthouse options

My wife's loaded Rebel has them. My SLT doesn't. I wish I had them. I wish all Rams came standard with them. They're awesome, and combined with the included bed cargo management tracks make hauling things easy. There's a place fto r everything, out of the way and out of the weather in the Ram boxes. If you have them in a 5'7" bright white bed I'll swap you beds, straight across.

They were not an option on my 2020 2500 with an 8' bed so that made them a no go.

One guy at work had cracking and another guy has had the skins separating from the lid.The guy with the cracks got his truck back from repair and the paint(red)didn't match.I can live without after seeing this.

Won’t work with fifth wheels unless you change the configuration on the pin box of the trailer. Exact reason why I couldn’t get them, I didn’t want to have to spend even more money to make the trailer compatible. Think they can be quite useful but I don’t like the look.

I like mine. Very useful storage. Trucks are inherently task specific, what works for me may not work for you. Best wishes.

They had some insane gear there. Ahh to be wealthy. lol

Rambox cons off the top of my head...

Cant use a capper/topper

Aesthetics (opinion)

Lose a little bed space

Easy to scratch side of bed getting stuff in and out

Difficult to use fifth wheel trailers

Poor fitting in general. Many people have had major issues with the lids not fitting and falling apart etc.



However, despite all of their drawbacks, I really enjoy mine still. Its all in how you use your truck. I prefer them over the bed mounted toolbox myself. If the 5th gen boxes have a better fit and finish I will surely get them again, otherwise I may not check that box on the next truck.

Definitely depends on your application but if I were to do it again, I would have found a truck with the ram boxes. Tired of having to flip up my back seats to get to my tools.
