PICKUP BOX
The pickup box has many features designed for utility and convenience.
NOTE:
If you are installing a Toolbox, Ladder Rack or Headache Rack at the front of the
Pickup Box, you must use Mopar Box Reinforcement Brackets that are available from
your authorized dealer.
You can carry wide building materials (sheets of plywood, etc.) by building a raised
load floor. Place lumber across the box in the indentations provided above the wheel
housings and in the bulkhead dividers to form the floor.
WARNING!
• The pickup box is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers,
who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
• Care should always be exercised when operating a vehicle with unrestrained
cargo. Vehicle speeds may need to be reduced. Severe turns or rough roads may
cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo that may result in vehicle damage. If
wide building materials are to be frequently carried, the installation of a support
is recommended. This will restrain the cargo and transfer the load to the pickup
box floor.
• If you wish to carry more than 600 lbs (272 kg) of material suspended above the
wheelhouse, supports must be installed to transfer the weight of the load to the
pickup box floor or vehicle damage may result. The use of proper supports will
permit loading up to the rated payload.
• Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward in an accident causing serious or
fatal injury.
There are stampings in the sheet metal on the inner side bulkheads of the box in front
of and behind both wheel housings. Place wooden boards across the box from side to
side to create separate load compartments in the pickup box.
There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower sides of the pickup box that can
sustain loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg) total.
Cargo Camera — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cargo Camera that allows you to see an image
of the inside of the pickup box. The image will be displayed in the Uconnect screen.
The Cargo Camera is located in the bottom center area of the center high-mounted
stoplamp (CHMSL).
A touchscreen button
to indicate the current active camera image being
displayed is made available whenever the Cargo Camera image is displayed.
Also, a touchscreen button
to switch the display to rear view camera image is
made available whenever the Cargo Camera image is displayed.
