Default New Ram Truck option Makes Ford "Cabelas" edition just a little sissy.

Who else loves us enough to offer a factory gun & fishing rod rack option?

The muzzle placement also encourages drivers to double check they unloaded :P.

C'mon Ken, you've got a plasma cutter. Surely between that and some Princess Auto hydraulics and a laser pointer we could MacGuyver up something functional.


I think Rob will be happy to hear it's called the Outdoorsmen edition.

Hmmm, very doubtful my guns would ever ride outside like that. No matter how well they claim to have weather and dust proofed the cabinet. Cool feature though.

Too bouncy....I'd rather have them cased on the back seat, a bit smoother of a ride than right above the rear shock/springs.

These trucks have had toool boxes in the rails for two years now the only real difference would be the saddles for the guns and rods. Dodge is just remarketing the same truck and calling it outdoorsmen. Don't get me wrong i'm big on dodge its all I own. I just don't think its fair to the customer to add a 200 dollar part and charge 4000 dollars more. Dodge has come along ways with the new body style and cab But other than the gun rack I don't see a difference. IMO. Still nothin beats a Dodge in the end.

Cool idea, and nice name, but I wouldn't want to put a rifle in there. All that bouncing around, it will never shoot straight after being taken out of the compartment.
