Ram 2500 Tradesman Grill Upgrade

[HEMIDUTY]

I searched and could not find any aftermarket grill mods for the tradesman model, but there were for the other upscale models. Being I had already installed the stainless steel chrome billet one for the lower grill, I found that the 1500 has one for the upper grille. I knew it wouldn’t be a perfect fit but for $70 I thought I would try it out, anyway after trimming the top section and making some backup plates I thought it looked pretty good.

Sorry IMHO your original grill (also on Bighorn) is Ram’s best looking grill.

Tradesman and Big Horn have different pattern grills. I just wanted a different look and in case anyone else might be interested .

Here’s my 2020 Bighorn’s grille. It is only different other than the painted bumper in that the up bars are horizontal not the grid like in the lower opening.

Both the Tradesman and Bighorn grilles are the best Ram has IMHO.

Yep thats a completely different grill than his OEM tradesman…. I think the tradesman looks better only because its the only one that matches the lower grill.

OP the chrome is not my style but atleast you like it and it does set your truck apart from the rest for sure

I do enjoy seeing all of the interesting mods folks do, it's one of my favorite parts of the forum! Nice work you did there! However, I too prefer the Tradesman grill over all of the other trim levels.
