Love my boxes. Pretty sure you can get a Classic with the 6'4'' bed and Ramboxes. I can fit my ATV in mine so it still holds plenty.

I have had two. One on a 2017, 3500 limited and now I have one on my 2019, 2500 limited. For me it is a must have.
But something is going on with using the divider as a bed extender. It came on the 17 with the cargo management system. On the 19, I got the divider but not all the extender parts. Really liked the extender.
Can you lock that one? How secure is it in preventing theft?

This is true. You have to also get the bed utility group to get the bed divider. But at that time I bought my truck there was a glitch in the truck build software. So if you selected the BUG option before selecting the rambox option, you still didn't get the divider. Selecting the rambox option, then selecting the BUG option gave you the divider. It wasn't until after my truck arrived that this was discovered. The divider cost from my dealership was just over $1000. At least I was able to get them to split the cost with me, but I still think I shouldn't have had to pay any extra for it.Caution: the bed divider doesn't come with all Rambox options. I was shocked when I finally realized that it wasn't there. The dealer pointed out that it wasn't on my build order but I could buy it for some astronomical price ($1500 I think).
Why are you against getting both? In my opinion the MFT and rambox bed divider compliment each other perfectly. We have both on our Limited, and it's the perfect grocery getter. We set the bed divider about two feet from the tailgate, and it's like opening up a cupboard with the MFT. And the bedside boxes do make great coolers for tailgating.

I use a telescoping shower rod. It's not as sturdy as a 2x, but I can move or remove it without rolling up the tonneau cover.bed dividers: if you don't have one, a 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x10 with board ends' beveled works just fine. They won't act as bed extender though.
Trying to decide whether to order a '21 Limited EcoDiesel with or without the Ram Boxes. I am worried I'd miss the extra space in the box, but also think it would be nice to have them for structured storage or even use as an ice cooler and the like. Honestly the rear of my truck will be used mostly like a trunk if ever. We could take my truck on a trip if necessary as I'll have a tri-fold tonneau eventually. Maybe I'd wish for more space back there for luggage and the like if we have the full crew?
My uses are less work and more typical suburban dad stuff. We have some ranch land about 4 hours away, but really all I'll be taking up there would be tree cutters, gas cans, a minor amount of tools, a few storage boxes etc. The rest of the stuff sits at the ranch for the most part. I can see wanting wire stretchers, gloves, waders, clips, etc. in a Ram Box when needed but honestly as often as I'll use them they'd be just fine tossed in the bed with a tonneau cover, etc. I don't go up so often that I'd just leave them in the Ram Boxes I don't think.
I would be loading up the bikes for the kids etc in the bed from time to time as well and maybe transporting a piece of furniture here and there or a mower to take care of my in-laws etc. Nothing major, but I could see wishing I didn't have the Ram Boxes the first time I can't fit something width wise in the box.
My first hunch has been to get the Ram Boxes and it's not about the money, but I just don't know that I will have THAT much stuff that I'd want to store in them all the time (Jumper cables, tow strap, etc?). As far as ranch stuff, like I said, I bet I'd pull that stuff out most of the time because I don't make THAT many trips up there that I would just leave it all in there.
Any perspective is much appreciated!
