Hey guys, can’t seem to make up my mind on the Ram Box...lol. Hopefully here real soon I’ll get to place the order for my new 2018 Ram 1500 Limited and I’m kinda stuck on the bed options.
Oh, and I decided to go against the longer 6 foot- 4 bed length since I’m pretty much just buying the truck for the cab space, not so much bed space, but I don’t need a 3/4-ton either.
I don’t plan on towing a lot, probably hardly any at all or really even using the bed to it’s full extent. I like the idea of the tool boxes on the side to stow stuff in without having to use other containers even under a fairly secure tonneau cover and all but I’m not sure I like the visual appeal of the lids. Makes it look too much like a work truck. lol.
I don’t ever plan on putting a camper shell on it, never really liked that look anyways but I do like the function of a shell, tho. Just don’t like how it looks on the bed so that wouldn’t be a deciding factor so I️ wouldn’t have to worry about the issues one would face with the lids. lol.
I do like the big, lockable divider tho. I️ like how you can even unfold it out into a classic bed extender. However, I’m not a fan of the extra-wide bed rails. Looks kinda goofy....lol. That, and after a while of being out in the suns rays, the plastic covers will fade. I dunno, maybe the parts department wouldn’t charge you an arm and leg for a set of replacements if they even had them but what if you’re like me and would want a different type of bed rail cap? A chrome one, or even a stainless set or a diamond plate aluminum set? The Ram Box has been out since what, 2009, 2010 at least? Does anybody make aftermarket bed rail caps for the Ram Box?
