Rumor: Ram to put 6’4 Rambox bed into production this fall

[Jared B]

We hear some news about the larger Rambox beds

One of the most common questions that we get is when the 2019 Ram 1500 will be available in a 6’4″ box with Ramboxes. While Ram has not officially announced the longer bed being available with the Ramboxes, 5thGenRams has been told by an industry insider that Ram is expected to put the 6 foot 4 inch bed with Ramboxes into production this fall. This would allow buyers that want the Quad Cab but also Ramboxes to fulfill their needs as the Quad Cab is only available with the 6’4″ box, there are also Crew Cab buyers that are holding out as they want the longer bed with the Ramboxes.

The Rambox option appears to be a thorn in the side for Ram. Production began in early July but very few trucks that we know of have actually been built A few of our forum members have had their trucks built yet but not shipped (there is a National railcar shortage affecting the whole industry,) we have reached out to Ram and have been told that they are using additional means of transport to get trucks to customers. On the flip side we also have members with Rambox equipped trucks ordered 12 weeks ago that haven’t been scheduled for build yet. We have been hearing rumors of Rambox supplier issues but have not been able to confirm. That would make sense though as to why Ram hasn’t announced anything about the 6 foot 4 bed with Ramboxes yet. 5thGenRams along with our sources will continue digging to try and find out whether the rumors of supplier issues are true.

Stay tuned to 5thGenRams for all the latest news and information.

When will they have the 8 foot bed RamBox?

Glad to see the attention given to Rambox. It is such a useful, versatile feature. I can’t wait to get them (assuming they’ll be an option on the TR/TRX, which they may not be given the niche nature of the Baja version and the fact that the fenders will probably be different).

I suppose they'll start putting them together as soon as my truck is delivered with the short Ramboxes.

Figures.

*edited to add: I just ordered my truck, honestly may have chosen short bed anyway to preserve payload*

I would've ordered the 6'-4" bed. This grates on me a bit. But just a bit.

Hmmm so in 3 years from this fall I may be able to afford a used crew cab 6-4" bed with ramboxes and offroad package.

Side note: anyone in the midwest planning to order a crew cab 6-4" bed with ramboxes and offroad package and own if for about 3 yrs before trading up? A laramie or bighorn with the front bench seat would be nice.

I'd have to sell the kids and the car seats before getting a quad. Living with a third gen quad currently and not loving it.

I thought you were going to sell it right now with that sweet offer you got from Car max this week. You only have a few more days before its no longer valid. : )

Yeah I mine as well do that and go buy a honda civic or some smart car with a solar panel on the roof.

Safe to say these beds will be shared with the new HD trucks so the timing makes sense based on the rumored production ramp up coming early next year for them.
