The RAM-VB-185-TAB3 is a RAM® No-Drill™ vehicle tablet mount designed for select Ford Super Duty, medium-duty truck, and Excursion models. This complete mounting kit includes a vehicle-specific No-Drill™ base, telescoping pole system, dual swing arms, and a spring-loaded RAM® Tab-Tite™ cradle for compatible iPad and tablet models.
The No-Drill™ base installs using the existing passenger-side seat rail hardware, helping provide a secure mounting platform without drilling into the vehicle. The telescoping pole allows height adjustment, while the dual swing arms provide positioning flexibility and up to 12 inches of reach for driver or passenger access.
The included Tab-Tite™ cradle allows the tablet to be easily loaded and removed while helping keep it secure during vehicle use. Tablet compatibility should be confirmed using the Compatible Devices tab for the included Tab-Tite™ holder.
