I can't find a bug deflector to fit my 2019 wagon. Anybody got one on their wagon??
 
Hmm. They used to be a dime a dozen. Maybe they have fallen out of favor?
 
Slightly different hoods than the regular 2500 is my guess as to why you can't find one. Plenty for sale for the regular 2500 but they all seem to exclude Power wagon and Rebel. Probably not worth the cost of a forming mold for the small volume. Just a guess rather than a real answer.

What’s different about the hood? To my knowledge they are exactly the same, the Mopar website confirms that, the OEM bug deflector fits all models including the powerwagon

IDK, but these listings mostly exclude power wagon and rebel. They have to be the same dimensions. I'd think they'd fit. (shrug)

I ordered on for 2019 Ram 2500. Did not fit. So guess they are different. That's why I was seeing if anyone had one on there PW
 
I have a '24 3500 with the "Sport" hood. I tried an AVS Aeroskin II. Like the MOPAR deflector, it says it fits all models. It doesn't.

I can't say from experience that the PW and Rebel hoods are identical, but they visually appear to be the same as the "Sport" hood.

Here's what I noted on fitment on my Sport hood...
  • The leading edge of all of the hoods have the same contour - so that they line up with the grille.
  • All hoods have a center "dome" - the raised portion down the middle of the hood.
  • The center dome on the PW / Rebel / Sport hood is wider than the standard hood. The dome gets wider just after the leading edge of the hood than the standard hood.
  • When trying to fit the deflector, the front edge of it fit the hood, but the back edge did not. The center dome of the hood was too wide to fit into the contour of the deflector.
I echo @POWDERWAGON 's question: Anyone find a deflector for the PW / Rebel / Sport hood? From my own personal experience, they're different.
