The RAM disapproves of the provocation of the GMC with a split bucket lid

The light truck war in the United States is a very interesting thing to see . Generally, provocations occur on both sides. During the SuperBowl, General Motors pickup trucks and SUVs used Twitter to tease Fiat Chrysler's rival by using an animation from their Sierra pickup truck with the bucket lid linkage system. , named MultiPro Hatchback. In the message, the GMC stated that the RAM had already been lost.

The complete SuperBowl did not go unnoticed in RAM, which replied that it would wait until February 7th. Well, now we know what it is. This is the RAM 1500 2019 with a new hopper cover, perhaps inspired by our Fiat Toro pickup.

The Tailgate Multifunction is the name of this new cover, which will be seen by the Chicago of this farm (7). Divided in 60:40, it recalls the access of Fiat's compact pickup, but it has a significant differential: once badembled, the two parts can be lowered together, as if the badembly was integrated.

Both Parts of the Tailgate 1500 multifunctional open at 88 degrees and feature a locking system to keep from falling to the ground. According to the Ram, the new system allows greater flexibility in handling loads for the bucket , while offering a retractable rear step on the rear bumper to facilitate access to the compartment.

The laterally open package also allows freight by forklift. RAM 1500 still has watertight compartments on the sides of the bucket, as on the 2500 model sold in Brazil, as well as a load separator.

In addition, RAM did not leave a cheap and stung GMC : "Unlike other multi-element rear doors (reference to Sierra and MultiPro), the multifunction rear door of the RAM is compatible with trailers and does not require that the trailer and the hitch be removed before the Opening. "
