*What's your favorite option on your truck?*

I’ve had a Gen 4 RAM 1500 with the Ram boxes for years now and I cannot see myself owning a pickup truck without them or something like them. INSANELY useful!!! Love em!!!

I have owned two of these trucks with ram boxes and them and I would not buy a truck without them. I absolutely love them.

The box is just seriously one of the best features in a pickup tuck, I wish all trucks came with this feature

[TruckingShooter]

I'm a ford guy and I've debating getting a Ram next just cause of those boxes... and I'm not even a contractor. I'm a overweight truck driver... but I love storage compartments.

As of ram box owner for 4.5 years now. My only regret is not having the 6.5 foot bed so i could of had even bigger ram boxes lol best invention ever. There are lots of things that belong somewhere thats not in the cab or in the bed, the ram boxes fixes that completely.

I finally bought a Ram with the Ram boxes and love them, I use them for groceries and work gear instead of using the bed or the cab plus I think they look great 👍 👌

I LOVE my Ramboxes! My other vehicles always, always, always, had tools and clutter on the inside, now I can be proud to have someone sit inside my vehicle because they can't see my inner Horder. Great content here, glad to see there's other Rambox fans. It was literally the feature why I chose Ram and have not regretted it. Besides the split tailgate I get the most compliments and questions on the Rambox. Funny enough I have no problem showing them off when people ask. Don't forget about the box divider that comes too, that's an awesome feature to subdivide the box. I tie off to that constantly. Keep the channel going, looking forward to the EV content!

I agree once you've used RamBox it's hard to go without. I keep towing essentials (chains, straps, etc) on 1 side and all my tools on the other. Don't miss the old school toolbox in the bed or the bed space over the wheel wells. Glad to hear your DT has held up so well, love that new cab.

I watched these videos over a year ago. I’ve owned a 2020 exact same spec just over a year now. It’s an absolute pleasure, zero issues. It took me a while to ease into Ram given its old reputation.

I have ramboxes on my 17 2500 and I love them I don’t think I’ll own another truck without them. I also have the rear air ride and love that option as well

Hey Justin, great points on the Ram-boxes. I think some guys see the truck bed with the Ram-boxes and think it significantly reduces bed capacity, but it really doesn't, just makes the bed look a lot smaller. Overall, they can be very useful and a great storage solution for people with different hobbies or jobs!
Speaking of storage, you could probably hide a socket wrench or two or maybe a hammer in that beard of yours lol, I enjoy your content!

I bought a 2011 Ram 1500 that happened to have Ram boxes and didn't think much about it until I started using them. I can't imagine having a truck without them now. My current truck is a 2020 Ram 1500 and it not only has the Ram boxes has the new split tailgate and it makes access to the bed very easy. I guess that's two things I have to have in a truck now.

Another point on the Ram Boxes that is a visual dynamic is that they look far better on a Black or dark colored Ram than on a Silver or White Ram like mine as all the seams from doors to Ram Boxes appear to stand out more than a darker painted truck where those seam lines tend to disappear more.

[stevelevine]

I have ram boxes on my brand new 2023 ram 1500 limited. I do wish they were insulated. That’s the only other con I can think of. Thanks for your review.

[enjoylife]

I am not surprised with your comments on the Ram Boxes. I had a 2003 Avalanche which had a similar bed to it. It had the boxes on both sides just like the Ram boxes and no wheel well humps in the bed. It was still 4ft between the bed sides and you could easily carry any 4x8 product in the back. The Avalanche also featured the first rear bumper with integrated steps in it which GM now uses on nearly all of their pickup trucks. It was a very useful truck.

I've just moved from a DS Laramie with Rambox to a new DT Ltd.
Couldn't imagine having a RAM without them.
They are fantastic.

[vinniecorleone]

I can see the attraction for the Ram Boxes as utilitarian as they obviously are but I prefer the cleaner look of the Ram body style without them. I use my new 2021 White Ram Limited Night Edition with Hemi E-Torque for my work truck in my painting contractor business, only I flip up the back seats, put down a moving blanket & place all my tool boxes & bins on the rear area floor, then utilize my bed for my airless pump & ladders. Mine came with the factory liner bed & Tonneau cover which looks & works like a dream. Another great video bud, thanks for sharing your opinions my friend!

A couple potential cons for those thinking about getting Ramboxes. Your tonneau cover options are more limited. Still some great options out there, but if you have a favorite, make sure it'll fit a Rambox version. The other potential con to consider is if you're building a Ram for something like Overlanding and off roading. Your choices of bed racks are way more limited because of the Rambox doors. I've only found 2 or 3 ones that I like that are aethestically pleasing while also being functional. A lot of the very popular bed racks will not fit or have a version that may go on your Rambox bed.

Still love my Ramboxes, though.

I am on my fourth Ram. I have loved every one. In 2012, I bought my 2nd 1500. That was my first experience with the Rambox system. I wasn’t sure I’d use them that much. I was wrong. They were awesome, and like you said, you can fit so much in them. In 2018, I “upsized” to a Ram 2500. It did not have the Ramboxes, but I figured I’d be ok without them. Wrong again! After two years, I decided to trade in the 2500. This time, I was getting everything I wanted in a truck. I bought the 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie Sport, with the 12” entertainment system, GPS, WIFI, heated/cooled seats, and the Ramboxes. The 2020 Ramboxes are nicer than the 2012, and have the AC outlet, and lights. The remote locking is also great. I use the passenger side for tools, jumper cables, inflator, tie down straps, etc. The driver side is all jet ski stuff:) Boat shoes, towels, chamois clothes for when we wash the skis off, and I actually fit a spare life jacket in there too. It’s great keeping the wet stuff out of the cab. When it comes to tailgating, the Ramboxes are king! Empty them out, remove the rubber on the bottom (so the drain holes are open), fill with ice and your favorite beverages, and you just put everyone else’s coolers to shame😀
