Ram 1500 Tailgates

The Ram 1500 was designed with a priority put on comfort and style, but it is also a good basic work truck for those who don't need sky-high towing / hauling ratings. It's unlikely you constantly use it for carrying loads of heavy cargo and heavy-duty trailering, but it needs to be properly equipped for occasional towing and hauling as well. When you need to hook up a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer, you have to remove the tailgate, thus either leaving the bed empty or using some securing accessories to keep cargo contained. Tailgate removal, however, interferes with aerodynamics, creating more drag and increasing fuel consumption. With an aftermarket louvered tailgate, there's no need to sacrifice the space in the bed.

A louvered tailgate has a cutout at the top center, so you can tow a fifth wheel or a gooseneck trailer with the bed of your truck full of gear. Ram 1500 tailgates are produced from aluminum, plastic, or steel. A variety of options allows you to choose the right louvered tailgate for your requirements that will perfectly suit your truck’s exterior at the same time. The installation doesn’t require any preliminary modifications – you can use the mounting points of the original tailgate. And after everything is done, you can forget about the necessity to remove the tailgate and use cargo nets every time you need to pull a trailer.
