I love it. I think it's a great addition to the truck. I would love to have it.

I think it's a pretty decent setup. Although I didnt want it for my truck. Dont need it and I just like having a regular ole bed.

The 3.92s give you a lower gear ratio (higher number = lower gearing). The lower gears will give you better acceleration, better towing power, and it'll help if you plan to put oversized tires on. Only downside is that you'll loose a little MGPs.... but oh it's worth it!! :-D

The 3.55s will give you better gas mileage, especially on the interstate! But you'll loose out on acceleration.... especially if you plan on getting big tires.

Also, 3.92 has a limited slip.

I'm working with Dodge right but, and I personally think the storages in the bed are a great idea. They serve several purposes...I'd probably use it for tailgates more than tools though.

I finally got to see one in person and I think it's a good option. I waited as long as I could to get one but just got tire of waiting for it to come out. Now that I've seen it I have mixed emotions. We have some very harsh dirt road that leads into our ranch in south Texas and I'm not sure that the plastic interior would hold up with some of the heavy metal objects I carry in my tool box. On the other hand it really is a nice place to store that stuff you dont want on the inside and it's lighted as well as moisture and dust proof. If it would have been available I would have bought it, but since I jumped the gun I don't really have any regrets that I didn't wait. Jeff.

I had an '02 Chevy Avalanche, the lockable boxes on the side of the tailgate were really the same thing. Very versatile, I kept all my off-road recovery stuff in one side and a some fishing/hunting equipment in the other. Insulated and drain holes too, not sure if the Rambox is. Makes for a great, big beer cooler!!!
