Ram Adds Multifunction Tailgate to 2019 Ram 1500
Ram #truck today unveiled a new multifunction tailgate that adds even greater utility to the #truck industry’s cargo-management and storage leader.
The Ram 1500 multifunction tailgate feature is unique among all pickups and offers customers cargo-access flexibility without compromise.
In addition to retaining the capabilities of a fully dampened, drop-down tailgate with remote release options, the #ram multifunction tailgate adds a first-of-its-kind 60-40 split, swing-away functionality.
Ram multifunction tailgate’s dual side-hinged tailgate doors further enhance the 1500’s bed access and utility. Independent opening features make curbside loading easier. Being able to access the bed closer to the bumper makes stepping up easier; makes loading bulky items easier; makes unloading and washout easier and allows forklift loading.
Unlike other multi-element tailgates, the #ram multifunction tailgate is trailer-friendly and does not require that the trailer and hitch be removed before opening. With a 2,000-lb. load rating, #ram multifunction tailgate retains all of the traditional tailgate’s capability.
“The #ram multifunction tailgate is intuitive to operate and owners will find it immediately useful,” said Reid Bigland, Head of #ram Brand – FCA. “Combined with Ram’s class-exclusive RamBox feature and new tailgate step, we’re taking Ram’s cargo management and storage to the next level.”
Ram's multifunction tailgate has four configurations: open flat, open left door only, open right door only and open both doors. Each door swings open 88 degrees and access can be further enhanced via a retractable center-mounted step option.
Among the 2019 #ram 1500’s other innovative storage solutions are the RamBox cargo management system. The RamBox system includes versatile, weatherproof, lockable, illuminated and drainable storage bins built into the bed rails. RamBox bins also feature a handy 115-volt, 400-watt outlet. Also available with RamBox is a #pickup bed divider/two-foot bed extender and cargo rail system with four sliding, adjustable cleats.
Interior storage was also high on the priority list for the new #ram1500.
A reimagined center console with 12 different storage configurations offers never-before-seen customization for the most active interior real estate. The #ram 1500’s second row includes seats that recline up to eight degrees, a true flat-load floor with integrated RamBins with tie-down rings and expandable under-seat storage.
In total, the #ram1500 features more than 151 liters of interior storage capacity — nearly 100 percent more than the closest competitor.
The multifunction tailgate will be available across all seven 2019 #ram1500 models and will reach dealerships in the second quarter of 2019. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price is $995. The optional center step is $295.
