    2021 RAM 2500 Big Horn Front Bumper Imperfections

    I'm going to say that they are all the same to some extent, some worse than others, and likely more noticeable in some cases. As I mentioned in my post earlier, I spoke with my dealer, they gave me very odd looks and they never got back to me, more or less to say there is nothing wrong...

    2021 RAM 2500 Big Horn Front Bumper Imperfections

    I did, and they basically laughed at me and said that was just normal... they look at me wondering why I was concerned about such a minor issue (to them).... I'm just going to live with it now... the longer is goes the less likely that anything will be addressed as a "new vehicle defect"...

    Missing Blind Spot Monitoring

    Really good perspective. Thank you. I think you convinced me right here that there is value in just swapping the entire tail light assembly as opposed to trying to retro-fit the sensors. Please let us know how you get on with the upgrade? Looks like many of us are interested or wanting to do...

    Missing Blind Spot Monitoring

    I feel exactly the same. It's still the only thing that I don't like about my 2021 factory order experience. To add to your comment, the dealers clearly didn't have any idea what was happening, yet FCA, when I raised this issue with their care reps told me quote "you signed the deal and our...

    Tailgate release in the key fob already present EDIT: Mod complete and works!

    I will second that! I looked on ebay and found a bunch of small 4 pin buttons, but all different sizes. Are you able to kindly share which buttons you used and where you purchased? Thank you!

    2021 RAM 2500 Big Horn Front Bumper Imperfections

    Has anyone brought this up with their dealer yet? I had paint guy who does new work for the dealer look at mine to provide his opinion - he says all Ram bumpers he has seen have some imperfections like this.

    Good OEM running board alternatives?

    Here you go! Not the best pics sorry, but took a few different ones to give you an idea, and a close up so you can see their shape.

    Good OEM running board alternatives?

    I bought the Aries Advantage 5.5" steps for my 2021 Bighorn. They are actually an 8 sided aluminum step (not oval) with angled ends and look really great. I will snap a pic and post later today.

    7" Driver Info Screen Protector Glass?

    Thanks for all the responses - I ended up just custom cutting some 3M vinyl wrap that I had laying around. I found that in my last truck, the plastic screen covering the EVIC would scratch easily when cleaning, so IMO it's just an added layer of protection. I'm pretty picky when it comes to...

    7" Driver Info Screen Protector Glass?

    Just picked up my 2021 Ram 2500 Bighorn Crew. I ordered a screen protection glass kit for the 8.4" uconnect screen, but looking for a solution for the 7" drivers info screen. Has anyone found a good protection film or glass for the 7" drivers information screen? I find this can scratch easily...

    2021 Ram HD Builds and orders - Post and discuss your order here!

    Just to give Canadians some hope... I am from Calgary, AB. Ordered Feb 27th, and the truck arrived at my dealer May 27th and I took delivery May 31st. 2021 Bighorn Crew 6.4, Level B, Sport Pkg, Premium Lighting, 5th Prep. My Window Sticker populated on May 5th, which normally means it is...

    OP, hope your dealer listened to your concern? Please let us know how you got on and what they are saying? Thank you!

    2021 RAM 2500 Big Horn Front Bumper Imperfections

    I'm going to bring this up with my dealer also. I have seen other new vehicles with panel stamp issues (F150s are bad for this) so maybe its just "normal" due to the molding around the fog lamps?

    2021 RAM 2500 Big Horn Front Bumper Imperfections

    So I checked my bumper again, and its almost exactly the same, in the exact same spot. You can actually feel the imperfections in the panel as you run your hand across it.... mine is less noticeable in a photo maybe due to the 3M wrap which was applied at the dealer. Does anyone know if there...

    2021 RAM 2500 Big Horn Front Bumper Imperfections

    I'm using the date that my Window Sticker popped up as the build date (whether or not that is accurate I'm not sure) - my door jam sticker says 05/21 (Month). The month is likely enough to go on, I am just thinking if there is a correlation between all of us with the defects and the build...
