RamBox/multifunction tailgate

[Mike83]

Hey everyone, anyone out there have these options? What do you think? Are they worth it? Looking at ordering a 2021. Thanks

I don’t have em, but will get them on my next truck as they will be extremely useful for me. Ram boxes will let me stash dirty gear/tools and what not for weekend back road fun. Multi function tailgate will allow easier loading/unloading the bed.

hopefully you can put your hands on a truck with both so you can try before you buy.

I really like mine. Makes loading stuff in bed so much easlier.

+1 for ramboxes. Don't have MFT, but looks useful. Would be nice to reach into bed without reaching over the tailgate. Interested to see reliability.

I got both of them on my '21 Limited. Love them both!

Got both and like them. Not sure how much their weight cuts into payload, though, if that is a critical concern.

Ram box is really going to depend on whether you need the bed space or can live without it?
While I like the idea of the ram box I personally cannot live with the reduced bed space so it's a no go for me unfortunately.
I played around with a multi function tailgate the other day and I would absolutely get one if I was getting a new truck.

Rambox was a must for me on my 5th gen.. wish my 4th gen had them (one of the reason I decided to upgrade )for me the ability to not to have to carry a toolbox then deal with unloading/loading it or climbing in the end multiple times a day to grab my work tools is a life saver but I also have never had to use the space over the wheel wells when I had the bed loaded so the space you lose wasn’t a big deal for me. Other box I keep my detailing products stuff I usually either kept in a bucket in the bed or underneath the back seat the interior is clutter free now.


The MFT is a nice feature (mines does not have it) but buying my truck off the local lot for the deal I got I was okay with it not having it ,the Rambox was more important including the other features it had. If I had the choice to have both I would of done it but again wasn’t a deal breaker.

My wife has both on her Limited and I only have the ramboxes on my Laramie. I can say the MFT makes loading and unloading the bed so much easier. I wish I would have gotten that in addition to the rambox option. I use the ramboxes to store things I don't want to hear rattling around inside the cab. Tools, tow straps, jumper cables, other handy things all go in the passenger side. I don't store anything long term in the driver side. It's a handy place to put groceries in, and it works great as a cooler for tailgating or camping. I highly recommend both for anyone considering them.

I have the RamBox for my 2020 3500. One of the main reasons I went with Ram. Great functionality. I even bought the divider kit. Didn’t get the MFT as it wasn’t available when I ordered mine.

Great truck ! Curious, is the bed cover factory mopar or other ? I have similar 2021 But Laramie with multifunction tailgate. Due to bed corner braces at cab end I am having some issues finding bed cover and cannot remove braces as they are for multifunction tailgate support

There are aftermarket bed corner braces available to replace the stock ones. Which eliminates the issue with bed covers. Here is just one of them...

I was ambivalent having not had them on the previous rams. I did need painted in liner.

but both were on mine on the lot and now five months later I won't get a fut get another without them for all the reasons stated.
