Hello everyone. Checking to see if anyone out there would be interested in doing a tailgate swap. I am looking for the Ram Head emblem tailgate for my truck. I own a 2017 Ram 2500 limited, metallic silver (color code PS2). My tailgate has the RAM letters and Im not a fan of it. It also has the backup camera and the remote lock as well. I do have a small dent at the top of the tailgate just below the plastic cap. Live in Southern California. Thx and looking forward to being on this forum.

Check on www.car-part.com for local salvage yards, they may even swap with you.
You'll want to remove the handle which has your key matching lock and the wiring harness before swapping the tailgate.

Yes, keep the complete tailgate handle
including the cable that connects to the lock & camera, then exits at the bottom of the tailgate & then connects to another connector behind the license plate.

If you are trading with another Ram owner, just make sure that short wiring section is on both vehicles
