    My 2500 Tradesman has the cut-outs in the body for the in-floor storage. Does anyone have the part number for the “bucket” & “lids” that come on those? My dealer will only give me part numbers for what my truck has & not what I’d like it to have.

    Own 2017 Ram 1500 Std Cab Hemi - Rental was 2019 4-dr 1500 4X4 Hemi. I was very disappointed in the new 2019. It felt like it had limited power. Hated the auto shutoff button.
