Ram 1500 Backcountry X Concept Takes 'Remote Working' to New Levels

  • Practical, custom storage and work spaces are the focus of the Ram 1500 Backcountry X concept, which Mopar is bringing to SEMA this week.
  • New storage concepts for the RamBox cargo management system add 12.3 cubic feet of storage, and the telescoping storage-rack system from the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman concept is reworked here.
  • Two desk or work surfaces are built in, one between the front bucket seats and another in the tailgate. There’s even a vacuum cleaner under the rear bench seats.

Adding tons of cargo space and customized storage options to the standard Ram 1500 truck, Mopar’s Ram 1500 Backcountry X concept vehicle makes its debut at SEMA this week. The concepts explored here involve work, practical storage, and a bit of style.

Up first are new ways to use the RamBox cargo management system. The Ram 1500 Backcountry X concept features newly designed storage compartments for the RamPack that are located above the standard RamBox on each side of the bed. Mopar said the design doesn’t compromise the functionality of the truck’s bed. The compartments include shelves, vertical bin dividers, and tie-down loops to contain whatever you’ve put into the 12.3 cubic feet of extra space.

Mopar said the Ram 1500 Backcountry X uses a telescoping storage-rack system that was first shown on the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman concept at last year’s SEMA show. There is also a custom RamGate task-bench insert designed for woodworkers on the inside panel of the tailgate. There are extra Thule crossrails above the bed and two-inch TYRI LED lights on the corners of the RamRack.

The Backcountry X isn’t just about hauling more gear. The exterior two-tone exterior blends Matte Iced Silver Titanium and matte black. The truck also has a two-inch lift kit with Fox shocks and four Mopar 5-inch LED off-road lights on a tubular grille guard. The wheels are 20-by-9.0-inch matte black Fuel Heater units with 37-inch BFGoodrich tires. Tube steps on the side rails and a rear bed step help people get up into the truck.

The interior features front-row bucket seats in neutral green, with orange accent stitching that matches the anodized orange air vents. Envisioned as a working vehicle, the Backcountry X Concept has a 12-by-14-inch deployable work surface between the two front seats. There’s even a concept RamVac onboard vacuum cleaner under the second-row bench seat.

Aside from the Backcountry X, Mopar is bringing another 10 concepts or modified vehicles. The Jeep CJ Surge, the TRX Gold Shot, and eight Jeep custom vehicles are also making their SEMA debuts this year. SEMA runs November 1–4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
