I’ve had mine off of my ‘20 a couple times. Been meaning to write up a how to but haven’t found time. I’ll try to update with a few pointers after I get off work.

? might be all the same

I’ve seen that video. Dude takes off more than he has too and makes it seem more difficult than it is. Like he has a fender flare off. No need for that. And our PW’s might be slightly different if I remember that vid correctly.

It’s not that hard if you are somewhat mechanically inclined, there are just several hidden fasteners and you need the right tools to make it easier. Wish I had time to make a video of actually doing it tonight but I don’t.

Our grills look different but they disassemble very similarly to the white Laramie or whatever trim that truck in the video is. The guy had some things right but never even gets the grill out.

Here ya go. This guy made a good video. It’s not a PW but the process is the same. Like his caption said the trim pieces below the the headlights are held in with clips and are difficult to remove but they just pull off.

Edit to add. One difference is that the part that he captions as “center trim piece” Our PW’s have 7 10 mm nuts you have to loosen (not remove) to get trim piece off. 5 below the word RAM and 1 on each left and right outer edge.

I dont see why it wouldn't work

Oh I can guarantee it would work. Get a loop around it and just give her a tug and it’ll come out. Just ignore the noises you hear. And re assembly might be slightly more challenging...
