If you own a RAM truck or are shopping for one, you’ve likely come across the RamBox® Cargo Management System. Designed to maximize utility, RamBox turns the empty space above your rear wheel wells into lockable, weatherproof, and illuminated storage bins.
What is the RamBox Cargo Management System?
The RamBox system consists of dual storage compartments built directly into the side exterior rails of the truck bed. Rather than relying on bulky aftermarket crossover toolboxes that eat up floor space, RamBox integrates seamlessly into the truck’s body lines while preserving standard interior bed dimensions.
Key Features & Benefits of RamBox
- Weatherproof & Secure: Each bin features a tight rubber seal to keep out rain, snow, and dirt, and ties into the truck’s central remote keyless entry system.
- Drainable Storage: Equipped with built-in drain plugs, the bins can double as built-in coolers for tailgating or easily be hosed out after hauling muddy gear.
- Interior LED Lighting: Push-button LED lights inside make finding tools, straps, and gear effortless in the dark.
- 115V Power Outlet: Many newer models include a 115-volt power outlet inside the driver-side box to charge tool batteries or run small electronics.
- Cargo Management Tie-Downs: Trucks with RamBox also include an adjustable cargo rail system with movable cleats and a versatile bed divider/extender.
Does RamBox Reduce Truck Bed Space?
A common concern is whether RamBox cuts into usable cargo volume. While it eliminates the open space on the sides over the wheel wells, the flat floor space remains wide enough to carry standard 4×8 sheets of plywood or drywall flat between the wheel housings. For most truck owners, the organized, secure storage outweighs the loss of side wall contour.
RamBox and Aftermarket Truck Racks & Accessories
Because the storage lids open vertically along the top of the bed rails, standard clamp-on headache racks and ladder racks won’t work without obstructing the doors.
Why Does Magnum Need to Know if Your Ram has Ramboxes When Shopping for a Headache Rack?
Magnum headache racks for trucks with Ramboxes have different shaped mounting feet because of the wider siderails on the bed, so it’s important that we know if your Ram has Ramboxes when you are shopping for a Magnum headache rack.

Your headache rack will be made with a mounting system engineered specifically for RamBox beds.
