Bed Rail Tie-Down System
NOTE:
This feature is available for vehicles both equipped, or not
equipped, with a RamBox.
There are two adjustable cleats on each side of the bed that
can be used to assist in securing cargo.
Adjustable Cleats
Each cleat must be located and tightened down in one of the
detents, along either rail, in order to keep cargo properly
secure.
CAUTION!
The maximum load per cleat should not exceed 250 lbs
(113 kg) and the angle of the load on each cleat should
not exceed 45 degrees above horizontal, or damage to the
cleat or cleat rail may occur.

To move the cleat to any position on the rail, turn the nut
counterclockwise, approximately three turns. Then pull out
on the cleat and slide it to the detent nearest the desired loca-
tion. Make sure the cleat is seated in the detent and tighten
the nut.
Adjustable Cleat Assembly
To remove the cleats from the utility rail, remove the end cap
screw located in the center of the end cap, using a #T30 Torx
head driver. Remove the end cap and slide the cleat off the
end of the rail.
