They had to make an entirely new tailgate because the ram emblem was recessed in, so there’s a “hole” for it. Since the Limited was the first to get it, they made a body line for the trim to follow. No trim, you see the extra body line. Power wagons also have this tailgate, and take advantage of the area with an extra vinyl.

Never noticed that before. But what’s up with the exhaust on that rebel?

It looks to have a Body Lift instead of a Suspension Lift. A Body lift raises the cab and bed of the truck using spacers to give the look of a lifted truck without actually lifting the suspension.

I heard the new 2019 have an aluminum tailgate. Perhaps that is the difference.

I'm just the opposite.....I bought mine because it had the RAM on the tailgate....I love putting that in the face of every Ford, GM and Tundra owner behind me

Me too.... But even as much as I like chrome; those big R A M letters in the shiny stuff is way too much in my opinion.

Hard to notice on the limited because that trim piece that sits down in there wonder why they use them on other ones without the trim piece.

Just noticed today that the tailgate for the rebel and limited AKA the trucks with Ram across the tailgate is different. They have an extra body line at the lower section that the traditional tailgate doesn't have. Cant believe I never noticed before, also am surprised FCA would spend the extra money on new form for a few trucks. Anyone else ever notice that? I want the rebel gate now.

Has anyone ever converted from the ram emblem to the RAM letters? I want to convert to that. I know you order the letters, or is the space the ram emblem leaves too much to overcome? I was thinking the “A” might cover it up?
