The RAM 3500 Tradesman is a powerhouse built to handle heavy-duty jobs with reliability and performance. When outfitted with a utility bed, it transforms into a mobile workstation ideal for construction, agricultural work, or any demanding professional environment. Here’s an in-depth look at the features that make the RAM 3500 Tradesman with a utility bed a top choice for those needing a reliable work truck.
1. Bed Utility Group: Enhanced Cargo Access and Protection
One of the key options for the RAM 3500 is the Bed Utility Group, which enhances the truck’s cargo area to improve accessibility and durability. This group includes:
- LED Bed Lighting: Integrated LED lights illuminate the truck bed, making it easy to load and unload cargo at any time of day or night. This feature is especially useful for early-morning or late-night shifts where visibility is limited.
- Deployable Bed Step: For added convenience, the deployable bed step makes it easier to access the cargo area, especially for handling heavy or awkwardly sized equipment. It’s a small addition that makes a big difference when climbing in and out of the truck bed multiple times a day.
- Spray-In Bedliner: The durable spray-in bedliner protects the bed from scratches, dents, and corrosion. This not only helps maintain the truck’s aesthetic but also prolongs the lifespan of the bed, making it a valuable feature for those hauling abrasive materials or equipment daily.
2. RamBox® Cargo Management System: Organized, Secure Storage
An available upgrade, the RamBox® Cargo Management System offers secure, weatherproof storage and power access:
- Weatherproof and Lockable Storage: Built into the sides of the bed, the RamBox® storage bins provide a safe, weather-resistant space for tools and equipment. These lockable compartments keep items secure, whether the truck is parked on-site or in transit.
- 115-Volt Power Outlet: The driver-side RamBox® storage includes a 115-volt power outlet, allowing users to charge tools and other devices directly from the truck. This feature is invaluable for professionals who need power on the go and reduces reliance on external power sources.
- Downward-Facing Illumination: Integrated lighting in each storage bin ensures visibility, making it easy to locate tools and equipment in low-light conditions without opening the main truck bed.
3. Cargo Management Features: Customizable and Secure
The RAM 3500 Tradesman’s utility bed includes advanced cargo management options:
- Adjustable Tie-Down Loops: Four adjustable tie-down loops provide secure anchoring points to fasten cargo of various shapes and sizes. This feature ensures that loads remain stable, even on rough terrain.
- Bed Dividers: Available Mopar® Bed Dividers allow the truck bed to be sectioned into different areas, preventing items from shifting during transit and enabling users to customise the cargo space according to their specific needs.
4. Standard Tailgate: Reliable and User-Friendly Design
Although the RAM 1500 offers a multifunction tailgate, the RAM 3500 Tradesman opts for a traditional, sturdy tailgate designed for straightforward operation. Its rugged construction is built for repeated, heavy-duty use, making it easy to load and unload heavy equipment or supplies without additional features getting in the way.
5. In-Bed Power Outlet: Power On the Go
For professionals who require a reliable power source, the RAM 3500 Tradesman offers a 115-volt in-bed power outlet. This feature allows users to plug in tools and equipment directly in the truck bed, eliminating the need for external power sources. Whether you’re using power tools or charging equipment, this outlet makes the RAM 3500 Tradesman a versatile solution for job sites with limited access to power.
6. Bed Length Options: Tailored to Your Needs
The RAM 3500 Tradesman offers two bed length options:
- 6'4" Bed: Ideal for users who need a balance between cargo capacity and vehicle maneuverability, this bed length is perfect for mixed-use.
- 8' Bed: The longer 8-foot bed provides maximum cargo space, ideal for those who consistently transport large or bulky loads.
