TL;DR I’ve found that hooks made for the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma box rails are a perfect match for the storage rails in a RAM.
One of the reasons I selected a RAM over other brands is the Ramboxes and the bed organization. I really like the lockable, enclosed storage of the boxes. The “smaller” bed that results works well with the storage rails and divider. It is still ~50 inches wide, so no problem putting in 4’ wide stuff like any other truck. I just have less volume for dirt, rocks, and the like. My bed usage is more a big trunk so no worries. (I installed a BedRug too!). It came with a factory tonneau, I would’ve bought one anyway, but the package included LED lights in the bed. The Rambox config included storage rails on the side with adjustable cleats. I did have to buy the cargo divider myself as apparently there was an issue with including it at the time, related to it also being a bed extender. Apparently in such use it illegally blocked the tail lights So they were just not including them.
One disappointment is that I found there weren’t a lot of storage organization accessories that specifically worked with either the Ramboxes or the storage rails. I had seen dividers for the Ramboxes, but they were for the older model. When they finally came out for the current gen truck they were less versatile and ridiculously priced. A lot of tonneau covers were incompatible with the storage rails, so I was glad I had the factory cover. And there were no other accessories that leverages the storage rails. Even Mopar accessories didn’t use the OEM rails!
The other week I was on Toyota’s site, building different configs of Tundras and I saw something about storage rails and was thinking how similar they may be to the RAM ones. After a lot of Googling and checking Amazon I found nothing that explicitly said they were the same or compatible, but it looks like they are very popular on the Toyotas, and have a fair amount of accessories. I figured what the heck, I’ll just order something from Amazon and see if it works. And boom! Perfect fit. I dug out the cargo net from my old Tahoe and it’s a perfect setup in the back. I also found a cargo net on Amazon with hooks on blocks that slide into the rails. Amazon also has the mounts to use the OEM bed divider as a bed extender.
