2023 Ram 2500 Laramie Fender flares gone....

[HDRAM405]

Where did they go? I ordered back in October and it showed up on the lot a couple weeks ago and my first question was where did they go? Looks like only available now on Longhorn laramie or Limited. Can they be added? No rush the truck is sitting until they figure out the grid heater relay stop sell/recall thing. This truck is for my dad. I have a 2020 Ram 2500 laramie that has them.

You can buy and paint. Stellantis invested the flare money they saved into hiring a team to discuss the feasibility of cutting more items while still increasing prices. My understanding is that the money saved by cutting hemi badges was invested in a grid heater relay marketing campaign featuring all the Hollywood stars saying , "we are all in this together".

Yep, they cut the flares (and many other things) and increased the price. Win - Win for Ram.

At least you won't have crud build up behind them and create bad things.

Very frustrating, my 2020 Laramie had many things you can no longer get on Laramie trim. They forced me into a Limited. Ram pricing is nuts.

Yup. They removed ventilated seats from the Laramie's as well.

I bought a 2023 Laramie yesterday that has ventilated front seats but it does not have fender flares.

Ventilated seats are still available in the bench and console set ups on the Laramie's. That did not change.

Not according to Ram’s website. It must have changed mid model year, but it’s been like this since mid January or so, when I ordered my Laramie.

Fender Flares gone on Laramie. Chrome door handles and wood grain steering wheel gone on LongHorn and Limited trims. All while increasing the price. Pretty lame to be honest. Ram has been great at getting the details right for so many years but it sucks to see them skimp like this on their flagship models.

I have a 23 Laramie with front bench seat built on feb 20 , ordered oct 24 that shows ventilated front seats on the optional equipment list page. Don’t have it yet so I can’t confirm it.

you can add them. I just added some that someone took off to put on bushwackers on their truck. Not too hard to do, just takes a bit of time.

Honestly, I think your truck looks cleaner without them, but everyone has there own preferences as to looks. Killer looking truck anyway you slice it!!

Good news, they got the parts for the recall and are doing it this week. Get to pick it up this weekend!

I'm starting to enjoy the lack of flares and badge on my 23 Hemi.

I do have the bench and it's ventilated.

I picked up my 2023 Power Wagon this week and I have the leather bench seat. Mine came with the ventilated seats. Weirdly, when I ordered it back in September the ventilated seats weren't showing as an option when I ordered. But much like ordering the 8.4 screen and getting the 12in screen, I think they are starting to consolidate and reduce options. I have to imagine a Laramie would get them too if a Power Wagon does. Can you download your window sticker yet? The vented seats were listed on mine under the interior Level 1 options package for the Power Wagon.

Wow that sucks. Doesn't look right without them.
