| Any of you guys have the Ram box on your pickups? It's the toolboxes built into the side of the bed. I just bought a 2013 and I'm wondering how watertight and durable these are. I love everything else about the truck, just skeptical on this deal. |

Seems like tool boxes built in truck beds is a bad idea that's been going on since the dawn of time.

Since I'm not running cows anymore it's more of a "go to town" truck, but I will pull a trailer with it a bunch and it's nice to have all my shit in the sides rather than under the seat. It's a Megacab,so it has a box about the size of my Prowler's. |

I had a co-worker who got one b/c the dealer told them it was large enough for a 5th wheel, but when they went to install it, it wouldn't fit and the dealer told them, oh well not our problem. |

Just a couple gooseneck trailers. |

Mine haven't leaked yet - and they are just as full of misc. crap as a normal toolbox would be. It is easier to find stuff in them though. Don't get the gunracks. I made a set thinking it was the coolest idea ever, until I realized it was a pain in the ass to get out and get your rifle out when you needed it. |

Since you already own it, put some newspaper in the boxes and hose them down with a hose for a test. I don't think you're helping. Well hell, I can be no help. Does it effect your gas mileage?
It does have lights in the boxes. Hmmm... |

Walked around my local dealership, all of the Ram boxes had a ton of condensation in them.
Edmunds did a test when they first came out, they put a hole in one by having a trailer hitch bouncing around in there. I have my doubts you'll ever be able to put a cover on the bed, but I could be wrong. |
