Dodge 2009 Ram 1500 - Manual (Page 180)

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.
SLIDE-IN CAMPERS
Camper Applications
Certain truck models are not recommended for slide-in
campers. To determine if your vehicle is excluded, please
refer to the “Consumer Information Truck-Camper Load-
ing” document available from your authorized dealer.
For safety reasons, follow all instructions in this impor-
tant document.
NOTE: When a cap or pickup camper is installed on a
vehicle, an alternate Center High-Mounted Stop Light
(CHMSL) must be provided.
EASY-OFF TAILGATE
Tailgate removal is sometimes necessary for loading and
can be easily removed by following these steps:
1. Unlatch the tailgate and open it enough so that there is
some slack in the support cables.
2. Remove the support cables by releasing the locking
tang and rotating them away from the box. Once the
cables are free, move to the right side of the tailgate.
