Gear Up for Game Day: The Ultimate Ram Tailgate Setup

There is nothing quite like a Saturday spent tailgating before kickoff, whether you are cheering on the Carolina Panthers or making the trip out for a UNC or NC State home game. If you have been thinking about upgrading your tailgate setup this season, a Ram truck might be exactly what your crew needs. Browse our Ram 1500 inventory at Greensboro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and see how it can change the way you show up on game day.  

Key Points        

• The Ram 1500’s multifunction tailgate splits 60/40 and swings open like doors. This gives tailgaters easier access to chairs, coolers, and grills. 

• Available RamBox storage offers lockable, weatherproof bins that double as coolers. Plus, a 115-volt outlet can power speakers and lights.    

• The Ram 1500 interior stays comfortable between games, and the Ram 2500 offers even more power for towing. 

Built for the Parking Lot Party 

The Ram 1500 multifunction tailgate is one of those features that sounds simple but genuinely changes how you use your truck bed. In addition to opening like a traditional tailgate, it also splits 60/40 and swings open like a set of doors. This gives you a few different ways to load in gear: 

• Open both doors fully for wide, easy access to chairs, coolers, and grills. 

• Open just one side for smaller items without swinging the whole gate.

• Drop it flat like a traditional tailgate whenever you want extra table space. 

• Step right up to the bed thanks to the built-in step for no more climbing. 

Loading up before the game and packing out afterward becomes a lot less of a hassle when you are not constantly reaching over a single, heavy gate. It can even be opened remotely via your keyfob for convenience from a distance! 

Power and Storage Built Right In       

Available RamBox storage takes tailgating to another level. These lockable, weatherproof bins run along each side of the bed and include a drain plug. You’ll be able to fill them with ice and use them as a built-in cooler for drinks and snacks. Many configurations also include a 115-volt outlet inside the bin, giving you a place to plug in string lights or a small speaker without hauling around a separate power source. A few reasons tailgaters love this setup: 

• Built-in LED lighting makes it easy to find what you need once the sun starts to go down. 
• Lockable lids keep your gear secure while you are inside the stadium. 

Onboard power is also available from plugs inside the truck bed that can provide up to 2 kilowatts of power. The means speakers and phone chargers stay running all day long. 

If you need even more capability for towing a trailer, check out the Ram 2500. The Ram 2500 tailgate does not come with the multifunctional design, but the bed can be equipped with the available RamBox cargo management system (with lockable, drainable storage bins, LED lighting, a 115-volt power outlet, and remote access via the key fob). Check out our Ram 2500 inventory if your tailgate setup has outgrown a half ton truck. 

Comfortable Between Games, Too 

Tailgating is not just about the bed. The Ram 1500 interior is built to be a comfortable place to relax before or after the game, especially if the weather does not cooperate. Reclining rear seats and plenty of interior storage make it easy for your group to take a seat between plays. You can relax and catch the pregame radio broadcast together.  

Ready for Kickoff 

Whether your Saturdays are spent supporting the Panthers or making the drive out to Chapel Hill or Raleigh for a college game, a Ram truck can make the whole day easier. Check out our current new vehicle specials and stop by Greensboro CDJR to find the Ram that fits your tailgate crew this season.
