Difference in Bed width between 2019 Ram 1500 and 2022 Power Wagon

[mayvilleqbcoach]

Sorry I am new to the forum and if this was asked I am sorry. Here is my question. I have a 2019 1500 with a Vanguard Bed Light bar. Just bought a 2022 Power Wagon (1700 miles on it!) and I want to put the same light bar on. THe Vanguard website wants me to pay extra money for an HD one. But the bed measurement I did, it seems the beds are the same width? But it's hard to measure with the curves and stuff...so just wondering if there is a place I can confirm they are the same width?

Your 1500 was it a classic or new body style? If its the classic its the exact same if its the new body style it wont work

Not the same the bed mounting is different same with cab style/ height

Maybe I am not stating this right. I am not looking to remove the bed or put a different bed on the truck. Just need the width to see if the light/roll bar will fit. It mounts to the top of the bed rails.

Who said anything about swapping the bed i said bed mounting as in how the rack mounts to the bed? You will need to modify the rack for it to fit as the 1500 new body box is 3-4” narrower
