Truck Bed Cargo Divider - Included?

[mikeru82]

What parts are needed to turn it into a bed extender? I have a Limited on order with BUG.

Your build list doesn't include Ramboxes. The bed divider only comes with the BUG if you are also getting the Rambox option.

Thanks guys, but I don't see it on my build sheet. I think it's only for the Limited.

I have a 2021 "Bighorn" Built to serve unit built in November but not shipped till May. I have the divider and it is very nice. I also got the bed extension pieces on Amazon to make it work. I'm thinking it was one of the ones being held up until the chips came in.

It does not show the divider on the window sticker, but does show it on the build sheet.

It's actually pretty slick and easy to use once you get the hang of it. The extension could be handy in the future although I can't think of any specific use right now.

I ordered the ALTBET Box Handle and Grommet Kit Fit for Dodge RAM 1500 2500 3500 Replace 68054996AA 68054997AB from Amazon for $45. This contains the 2 each of the 68054996AA and 68054997AB (4 pieces total) that are needed. Installation time was 10 minutes total. You can get genuine Mopar parts from your dealer, but they were around 2X as much -- as these parts are so simple I was fine with after-market. NOTE: My truck has RAM Boxes; I haven't checked to see if this works on non-RAM Box trucks.

These parts say they aren't to be used on the DT trucks that we have. I have heard that this is because the divider can obscure the tail lights from some angle when used as a bed extender. Or maybe the tail lights are obscured somehow when the tail gate is down? I didn't notice any issue on my truck. Maybe others can comment if they have seen a problem. In any case, using the bed extender seemed much safer than leaving the tail gate down and only relying on tying down my cargo.

Here is a nice posting showing how the parts are used: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/multi-function-tailgate-bed-extender-not.21570/post-311652

nice find. Wasn't aware of aftermarket options, just the $90+ Mopar pegs. So stupid.

The least exensive I saw was 32 bucks. I got mine for 35 btw.

I noticed that the ALTBET Box Handle and Grommet Kit Fit for Dodge RAM 1500 2500 3500 Replace 68054996AA 68054997AB from Amazon went up 10% to $50 this morning. While it is only an additional $5, It feels to me like Amazon uses "dynamic pricing." Sort of like airline tickets -- if a product gets a number of views or extra orders, a company increases the price. While this is within their rights and some might call it smart marketing, I just find it annoying.
