Any changes from 4th gen to 4.5 gen bed?

[kirk-35]

I've been searching the internet for over three-months trying to find a plain rubber bed mat for my '24 2500 w/8' bed and no one has it in stock. I'm considering trying the Westin 50-6305, etrailer has a video with it installed in a 2018 3500 even though Westin says it is for a 1500 w/8' bed.

Question for those more knowledgeable than I. Is there any difference in internal bed dimensions from 4th to 4.5 gen? 4th gen 1500 to 2500?

I have the same rubber bed mat in my 2022 that was in my 2018 and 2005.

No clue on a 1500, or when the last time a 1500 was built with a 8’ bed.

I am using the DeeZee #DZ86916, Real Truck looks like they have them in stock, just for the heck of it I also looked up a 2016 ram 1500 8’ bed and it came up with the same part number. I have a 21 CCLB.

You can still buy classic regcab 1500s with 8 ft beds

Didn’t realize that was still a thing.

Looks like that’s done now too, the Ram website shows a RC/LB for 2023 but not for 2024.

Thanks for the replies. I didn’t think much had changed on the bed dimensions and you guys pretty well confirmed that. I’m going to try the Westin 50-6305, found it for $146 an $9.99 shipping.

Here's a picture of 4.0 to 4.5 changes on my 2020. The dually bed did change the rear corners a bit.
I put a BedRug in my 8" bed, it fit perfectly.

I personally like a Reg cab truck I don't know why they would ditch it

Received the mat this afternoon and rolled it out in the bed. Perfect fit. The sticker on the package said 2002+ Ram 8’, so it looks like the bed hasn’t changed much in 22 years.
