Here's what 408 pounds of orange Austrian two-wheeled badassery looks like in the back of the Ram. Couldn't even detect its presence. Other than being paranoid about losing it and driving accordingly, there's was no real reduction in the Ram's performance. Over the course of 420 miles, it rode virtually the same and its power was still more than adequate. When it comes to the combination of towing, hauling and ride quality, I haven't experienced a better truck.
But it's hard to eat a pizza on the tailgate with a motorcycle in the bed.

I still say the Rambox cover doesn't fit right.

There is just something wrong about a bed that short on a truck that big.

So when is IL going to learn the joys of having a full size bed?

Loaded? Let's see how it does with a full payload of ~ 1,800 pounds or so.

The Ram is what it is....they make a truck for every use. This truck has been great for what it was built for....a luxury four door with a small bed and great towing capacity. I think it is far more useful than Navigators or Escalades. And it has been reliable which is a surprise actually. I looked at a Grand Caravan Hero a few days ago and really liked it, but still wonder about the squeaks and rattles of the IL unit. MOPAR has some compelling cars and trucks (not all but some) and deserves a look.
