Those who purchase a Quad Cab Tradesman or Big Horn/Lone Star model will NOT be able to purchase the Single Pane Sunroof (GWA) option either. That’s right, the Laramie and Rebel Quad Cab offerings are gone from the lineup in 2022. With that being said, the Quad Cab will be limited to only the Tradesman and Big Horn (Lone Star in Texas) trim lines. With a majority of buyers opting for the much larger Crew Cab models, the Quad Cab has been more of the budget-friendly alternative to get into a Ram 1500 (DT) pickup. So going into the 2022 model year, the first thing you will notice is that there are massive changes to the Quad Cab lineup. So what can we expect? 20 Rebel Quad Cab 4×4. This includes RAM’s plan to reduce the complexity of its offerings for several models. The slight loss of cargo space is more than offset by the functionality of the cargo barrier system and the RamBox, while eliminating the need for aftermarket bed boxes and the other items used to keep things from sliding around the bed.As the RAM brand gears up for the production launch of its 20 pickup, our sister site is now learning about the new methods that RAM is taking to ensure that production remains intact as the current semiconductor shortage continues. When you consider that the RamBox Cargo Management System costs just $1,295, I would call this a must-have for any new Ram buyer. The video below shows how easily the barrier moves with a twist of the center handle. In short, the Cargo Management System adjustable barrier makes the bed of the Ram 1500 far more functional and far more convenient. I was able to drive to the gas station with just those two cans and the recycling bin, and they didn't move around at all. With the RamBox Cargo Management System, I was able to pin both cans between the barrier and the tailgate, along with sticking my recycling bin in the middle so that they wouldn't slide towards the middle. However, I run a horse stable and I regularly haul hay in the back of my trucks.įinally, whenever I go to get diesel fuel for our tractor, I have to bungee cord the cans to the side of my bed and drive carefully so that they don't fall over. When you are hauling large boxes or plywood, that space doesn't make any difference, since those spots are typically empty when hauling large boxes, large pieces of wood, etc. The big difference with the RamBox system is that the areas around the wheel humps are filled in, and that is where you technically lose space in the bed. In fact, the bed with the Cargo Management System is about an inch wider than the area between the wheel humps in my bed.


I then put that same piece of wood in the bed of the 20 with the RamBox system and, as you can see in the images below, it fit just as well. I laid that piece of wood in the bed of my own Ram without the RamBox system with a tape measure to show the width of the bed. I found an oddly shaped piece of wood in my workshop that measured 48 inches at its widest point. The next bit of negativity with the RamBox Cargo Management system is the narrower bed, and that seemed like a valid enough complaint for me to conduct some tests.
