Rambox
The RamBox system is an integrated pickup box storage and cargo management system consisting of up to three features:
● Integrated box side storage bins.
● Cargo extender/divider (if equipped).
● Bed rail tie-down system (if equipped) ⇒ page.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING RAMBOX
Push and release the lock or unlock button on the key fob to lock and unlock all doors, the tailgate and the RamBox ⇒ page. The RamBox storage bins can be locked using the vehicle key. To lock and unlock the storage bin, insert the key into the keyhole on the push button and turn clockwise to lock or counterclockwise to unlock. Always return the key to the upright (vertical) position before removing the key from the push button.
CAUTION!
● Ensure cargo bin lids are closed and latched before moving or driving the vehicle.
● Loads applied to the top of the bin lid should be minimized to prevent damage to the lid and latching/hinging mechanisms.
● Damage to the RamBox bin may occur due to heavy/sharp objects placed in bin that shift due to vehicle motion. In order to minimize potential for damage, secure all cargo to prevent movement and protect inside surfaces of bin from heavy/sharp objects with appropriate padding.
RAMBOX CARGO 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 lb (68 kg) of evenly distributed cargo.

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.
The interior of the RamBox will automatically illuminate when the lid is opened. In addition to the automatic illumination, there is a manual on/off switch located at the rear of each storage bin.
Pushing the switch once will turn off the bin lights, pushing the switch again will turn the lights back on.

RAMBOX SAFETY WARNING
Carefully follow these warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle:
⚠ WARNING!
● Always close the storage bin covers when your vehicle is unattended.
● Do not allow children to have access to the storage bins. Once in the storage bin, young children may not be able to escape. If trapped in the storage bin, children can die from suffocation or heat stroke.
● In an accident, serious injury could result if the storage bin covers are not properly latched.
● Do not drive the vehicle with the storage bin covers open.
● Keep the storage bin covers closed and latched while the vehicle is in motion.
● Do not use a storage bin latch as a tie down.
RamBox Emergency Release Lever
As a security measure, an Emergency Release Lever is built into the storage bin cover latching mechanism.
In the event of an individual being locked inside the storage bin, the storage bin cover can be opened from inside of the bin by pulling on the glow-in-the-dark lever attached to the storage bin cover latching mechanism.

BED EXTENDER — IF EQUIPPED
The bed extender has three functional positions:
● Storage Position.
● Divider Position.
● Extender Position.
Divider Position
The divider position is intended for managing your cargo and assisting in keeping cargo from moving around the bed. There are 11 divider slots along the bed inner panels which allow for various positions to assist in managing your cargo.
To install the bed extender into a divider position, perform the following:
1. Make sure the center handle is unlocked using the vehicle key and rotate the center handle vertically to release the extender side gates.

2. With the side gates open, position the extender so the outboard ends align with the intended slots in the sides of the bed.

3. Rotate the side gates closed so that the outboard ends are secured into the intended slots of the bed.
4. Rotate the center handle horizontally to secure the side gates in the closed position.

5. Lock the center handle to secure the panel into place.
Extender Position
The extender position allows you to load the bed of the truck beyond the tailgate. The bed extender will add an additional 15 inches (38 cm) in the back of the truck when additional cargo room is needed.
The extender position utilizes a locating pin and rotating handle located on both sides of the truck bed near the tailgate.
Extender Position
To install the bed extender into the extender position, perform the following:
1. Lower the tailgate.
2. Make sure the center handle is unlocked and rotate the center handle vertically in order to release the extender side gates.

⚠ WARNING!
To reduce the risk of potential injury or property damage:
● Cargo must be secured.
● Do not exceed cargo load rating of your vehicle.
● Secure all loads to truck utilizing cargo tie downs.
● Extender should not be used as cargo tie down.
● When vehicle is in motion do not exceed 150 lb (68 kg) load on the tailgate.
● The bed extender is not intended for off road use.
● When not in use, the extender/divider should be in stowed or divider position with the tailgate closed.
● When in use all handles are to be in the locked position.
Storage Position
The storage position for the bed extender is at the front of the truck bed which maximizes the bed cargo area when not in use.
To install the bed divider into the storage position, perform the same steps as you would for the divider position, except position the divider fully forward in the bed against the front panel.
Storage Position
The outboard ends should be positioned in front of the cargo tie-down loops.
