Just a small stupid thing that caught my attention today... i noticed when helping my co-worker with something that his tailgate (1500 Big Horn) felt way heavier than mine when i opened it. And i had just opened mine about 5 mins before that. I remember when my 2500 was delivered i instantly thought the tailgate felt a lot lighter than my 2013 1500 did also. I think my co workers truck is a 2016. When i got my new truck i didnt think much of it but now feeling his as well im convinced mine actually is lighter. It isnt the smoothness or lack there of with the actual opening, the one on my '17 just feels about half as heavy when youre lowering/lifting it. Im wondering now if Ram lightened the gates on the '17 models or if maybe the HD gate is somehow lighter than the 1500. Is it a Laramie thing? Anyone else notice this?
