2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Outdoorsman Crew Cab 4x4 Update 5 - Motor Trend
Snow hauled two 40-year-old Vespa show bikes to Las Vegas for a competition, and Lott moved an off-road XR250R and a street-legal XR250L from his friend's home in Los Angeles County to Orange County. With the Ram's bed measuring 5 feet, 7 inches (67 inches) long, the larger scooter, a 69. 6-inch long 1977 Vespa Rally 200, required the use of the pickup's bed extender. Snow found the Ram's adjustable-height air suspension beneficial when loading the scooters into the bed. Even with the ride height on the lowest entry/exit setting, it still required two people to load each scooter, about 200 pounds each, into the back of the Ram. Loading the larger bikes into the bed also required two people and the bed extender, which also kept the ramp in place. After loading the first bike, Lott was pleasantly surprised to see the Ram's air suspension automatically level the bed as we lined up the ramp to load the second bike. With the Ram's large crew cab, which could be used to store smaller items, both Snow and Lott would probably forego the RamBox option for more useable cargo space. Source: www.motortrend.com
