More than a decade after launching the innovative RamBox compartments, which are trunks built into the sides of a Ram pickup's bed, the brand is taking things to the next level.
The Ram 1500 Backcountry X custom on display at the SEMA auto show in Las Vegas features a new concept called the RamPack that further enhances a pickup's cargo carrying capability.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The RamPack is installed on top of the RamBox and creates a double-decker storage system hidden behind a carbon fiber door while increasing the height of the bed.
RAM IS DISCONTINUING THIS CLASSIC PICKUP STYLE

Installing a pair of RamPacks provides a total of 12.3 cubic feet of storage and they've been designed to work with a RamRack system equipped with Thule cross rails for mounting gear above the open bed.

Ram also upgraded the 1500 Backcountry X with a two-inch lift kit, high-performance Fox shock absorbers, 20-inch wheels with 37-inch off-road tires and a tubular grille guard, tube steps and several other functional and appearance modifications to help show off the new accessories.

Ram hasn't announced plans to put the RamPack on sale, but often uses SEMA as a test bed for market interest in new Mopar parts and factory options for its vehicles.
