'Our all-new 2009 Dodge Ram is a game-changer in terms of capability, convenience, craftsmanship and safety.' 'Our mandate was to make a quantum leap and add even more voltage to Ram,' said Scott Kunselman, Vice President - Body-on-Frame Product Team. They still do, because Dodge Ram continues to stand out from the herd of 'me-too' trucks.'įor the redesign of its all-new, next-generation Ram, Dodge pulled out all the stops. 'Our design was polarizing - people loved it or hated it. 'We put a truck on the market that tripled our market share,' said Ralph Gilles, Vice President - Jeep®/Truck Design Studio, Chrysler LLC. In 1994, Dodge introduced a revolutionary Ram in the light-duty pickup market, with its 'big rig' styling and iconic crosshair grille. 'And this is our all-new game-changer - the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram, which is packed with full-size pickup firsts and best-in-class features.' 'Since the dawn of the 'big rig' look, Dodge Ram has always been a game-changer,' said Jim Press, Vice Chairman and President, Chrysler LLC. In contrast, if your plans revolve around using your truck to carry out “truck” activities, such as hauling bulky or dirt items, it’s advised that you stick with the traditional bed.Emerging from a herd of 120 long horn cattle driven by 10 cowboys on horseback down Washington Boulevard in downtown Detroit, the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram made its debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. This drives us back into the “city” of our main point that depicts “ the RamBox won’t be for everyone.” This will come in handy, if you have in your possession a couple of important stuff you intend to haul inside the bed of your truck. Because of this, large items fitting into the RamBox would be a thing of probability. The depth of the box near the cab is different from its depth towards the rear: towards the rear, it’s much deeper. To digress further, as they are installed to fit around the rear-wheel wells, “a little awkward” might be how you’d find the space inside either box.

Therefore, if you are quite satisfied with having a midsize bed volume of your truck - your full-size truck - then you can go ahead and opt for them. The top drawback of having the RamBox in place is, they significantly consume the space on the bed of your truck. As the weather continues to strip on the box’s inside, water will always be kept out. This, to a large extent, increases the level of usability. If you check on each box lid, you will find a button that, just like the release of an external trunk, releases the lid each time the owner of the truck presses the unlock button of the entire truck - simply put: whenever the truck is unlocked. In addition, inside the side box of the driver, you’d find a 115-volt home-style 3-prong power outlet.įurthermore, the traditional lock cylinder also serves as a lock system - but in addition to that is a feature regarded as one of the RamBox’s most innovative features: the RamBox’s ability to lock and unlock alongside the rest of the truck. Those two LED lights illuminate to give a clearer visual of the contents inside the RamBox: its importance would be more appreciated at night. When you open the box, you will find two LED lights that illuminate at night. Through the lids are the boxes accessed you can locate these lids at the bedsides - either of the bedsides. While it - the RamBox - comprises several clever elements, it still won’t be the choice of every truck owner. The cost of this system is $995 and it plays a major role in helping you secure valuables. As regards the “compartment” mentioned in some sentences ago, the RamBox consists of two compartments, compartments you can find at either side of your truck bed. Speaking of its security, it comes with a lock system that enables you to lock and unlock the RamBox at will. It’s a compartment in which the truck owner can store small items without having the fear of losing those items to thieves. The RamBox is simply a built-in cargo system found at the bed of your truck. Moving further, we’ll disclose the SHOULD-KNOWs about a RamBox. We’ve been talking about a thing called a RamBox, and we understand that you might not know what it is.
