2009 Dodge Ram 1500: HazMat Disposal

You know that pile of old paint cans, solvents, and other accumulated stuff in the garage that you've been ignoring? Well, I got rid of mine this weekend. I was thankful for the Dodge Ram's nifty adjustable bed-divider that kept the cargo from moving around on the way to the disposal site.

I was also grateful for the smooth riding suspension, even with what amounts to an empty bed. I also mangaged to raise the running, average fuel economy (at least according to the onboard computer) from 14.1 mpg to 15.3 over the course of 275 miles.

Going for a more earth friendly approach to cleaning and painting?

I wish they had a single-side RamBox option. I think I could live with that width and 50% off the RB option.

Can you fit the Mini E in there?
