If you think truck beds are boring, the 2021 Ram 1500 will defy your expectations, courtesy of its available multifunction tailgate. This handy add-on makes loading cargo easy in Langley, no matter how seemingly difficult the task.
Instead of one door, the multifunction tailgate boasts two that swing open up to 88° wide in a 60/40-split fashion. That means you can load items without the straining, reaching, or rocking motions that traditional configurations require. Adding the available centre bed step makes the entire process even more accessible, to boot.
And, unlike traditional trucks, you can still access the Ram 1500's bed when a trailer is hitched, courtesy of the multifunction tailgate. That's because the doors will open past most types of attachment points. And for further ease, the stable platform holds up to 907.18 kg (2000 lbs) for extra peace of mind if someone sets a package on it.
You can also add the RamBox Cargo Management System, which equips the bed with lockable, waterproof, illuminated, and drainable storage compartments on both of its sides. The set-up includes a 115V electrical outlet, too, perfect for plugging anything from stereos to power tools.
