There are stampings in the sheet metal on
the inner side bulkheads of the box in front
of and behind both wheel housings. Place
wooden boards across the box from side to
side to create separate load compartments in
the pickup box.
There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the
lower sid
es of the pickup box that can
sustain loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg) total.
RAMBOX — IF EQUIPPED
The RamBox system is an integrated pickup
box storage and cargo management system
consisting of three features:
Integrated box side storage bins
Cargo divider
Bed rail tie-down system
NOTE:
Bed rail tie-down system is also available for
v
ehicles
not equipped with a RamBox.
RamBox Integrated Box Side Storage Bins
Cargo storage bins are located on both sides
of the pickup box. The cargo storage bins
provide watertight, lockable, illuminated
storage for up to 150 lbs (68 kg) of evenly
distributed cargo.
To open a storage bin with the RamBox
unlocked,
push and release the button
located on the lid. The RamBox lid will open
upward to allow hand access. Lift the lid to
fully open.
NOTE:
RamBox will not open when the pushbutton
i
s pushed
if the RamBox is locked.
The interior of the RamBox will automatically
illuminat
e when the lid is opened. The
timing can be adjusted through your touch
-
screen.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi-
media” in your Owner’s Manual for further
informati
on.
Care should always be exercised when
operating a vehicle with unrestrained
cargo. Vehicle speeds may need to be
reduced. Severe turns or rough roads may
cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo
that may result in vehicle damage. If wide
building materials are to be frequently
carried, the installation of a support is
recommended. This will restrain the cargo
and transfer the load to the pickup box
floor.
If you wish to carry more than 600 lbs
(272 kg) of material suspended above the
wheelhouse, supports must be installed to
transfer the weight of the load to the
pickup box floor or vehicle damage may
result. The use of proper supports will
permit loading up to the rated payload.
Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward
in an accident causing serious or fatal
injury.
WARNING! (Continued)
CAUTION!
Failure to follow the following items could
cause damage to the vehicle:
Assure that all cargo inside the storage
bins is properly secured.
Do not exceed cargo weight rating of 150 lb
(68 kg) per bin.
CAUTION!
Leaving the lid open for extended periods
of time could cause the vehicle battery to
discharge. If the lid is required to stay
open for extended periods of time, it is
recommended that the bin lights be turned
off manually using the on/off switch.
CAUTION! (Continued)
