2021 RAM 2500 Owners Manual - PICKUP BOX



PICKUP BOX

The pickup box has many features designed for utility and convenience.

    — Upper Load Floor Indents 3 — Bulk Head Dividers

4 — Anchors

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

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 lb (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 Stop Lamp (CHMSL).

A touchscreen button to indicate the current active camera image being displayed is made available whenever the Cargo Camera image is displayed.

A touchscreen button to switch the display to rear view camera image is made available whenever the Cargo Camera image is displayed.

A touchscreen button "X" to disable display of the camera image is made available when the vehicle is not in REVERSE gear.

A display timer is initiated when the Cargo Camera image is displayed. The image will continue to be displayed until the display timer exceeds 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is above 8 mph (13 km/h) or the touchscreen button "X" to disable display of the Cargo Camera image is pressed.

The Dynamic Centerline feature provides an overlay on the Cargo Camera display screen that aligns to the center of the pickup box to aid in hooking up a fifth wheel camper or gooseneck trailer. The centerline auto aligns to the center of the pickup box, and can also be manually adjusted. The centerline will adjust in response to steering angle inputs, and will not obstruct the gooseneck receiver or an approaching trailer gooseneck in the camera feed.

The Dynamic Centerline feature can be activated through the Uconnect Settings by pressing the Cargo Camera soft button, followed by the “Adjust Centerline” soft button on the touchscreen.

If the Dynamic Centerline feature is turned on, the overlay will display anytime the Cargo Camera image is displayed.

Follow the steps below to manually adjust the centerline:

    Press the “Adjust Centerline” soft button located in the bottom right corner of the Cargo Camera display.
    Use the arrows on the bottom left corner of the Cargo Camera display to adjust the centerline horizontally or vertically.
    Once the desired position is achieved, press the “Accept” button to set the centerline to the newly specified position.

The Dynamic Centerline feature will automatically be deactivated whenever the Cargo Camera display is deactivated. It can also be manually deactivated through the Uconnect Settings page 258.

    If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph (13 km/h), the Cargo Camera image will be displayed continuously until the touchscreen button "X" to disable display of the Cargo Camera image is pressed.
    The touchscreen button “X” to disable the display of the camera image is made avail- able ONLY when the vehicle is not in reverse.
    If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance builds up on the camera lens, clean the lens, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.

Turning Cargo Camera On Or Off — With Uconnect 4C/4C NAV

    Press the “Controls” button located on the bottom of the Uconnect display.

    Press the “Cargo Camera” button to turn the Cargo Camera system on.

Once initiated by the "Cargo Camera" button, the Cargo Camera image will be displayed until the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph

(13 km/h) and the 10 second timer runs out. The image may be deactivated by pressing the "X" soft button, placing the ignition in the OFF position, placing the gear selector in PARK, or pressing the image defeat “X” button. On deac- tivation, the previous selected screen will appear.

BED RAIL TIE-DOWN SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

To move the cleat to any position on the rail, turn the nut counterclockwise several turns. Then pull out on the cleat and slide it to the

detent nearest the desired location. Make sure the cleat is seated in the detent and tighten the nut.
