PICKUP BOX
The pickup box has many features designed for
utility and convenience.
Pickup Box Features

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 an 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.
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 1,000 lb (450 kg) total.
1 — Upper Load Floor Indents
2 — Bulk Head Dividers
3 — Cleats
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 oper
-
ating 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 lb (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.
WARNING!
