I thought it was standard on Laramie. Guess not.
Mine is level 1 group so it does have it.

Does anyone have an answer for the original question of can you add the remote tailgate drop to a 2019 ram? I have 2019 ram big horn with level 2 package and does not have remote tailgate release.

Good question as I have BigHorn too.

To break down your questions are you talking about the whole thing or parts?
meaning--

1. just tailgate release (and wiring)
2. the upper center console button and switches
3. the key fob upgrade
4. I don't know if dealership will have to flash it???

So are you talking all the way OEM just like on the Laramie and above, or just the ability to have "a" switch somewhere inside the truck to automatically release it?

I would be interested in having the key fob release. My tailgate has a button to manually release which leads me to believe it has some sort of electric release but no remote release or button inside the cab. Wouldn’t mind inside the cab button but not necessary

I have a Laramie with air suspension, remote start, and remote tailgate, and all of those are on the key fob. My fob has 6 buttons, where the one in your picture has 5. Lock and Unlock are side by side at the top and there is a single button in the middle (I can't remember whether it's the tailgate or the air suspension lower. My truck and key are at the shop right now. The spare is put up and I'm too lazy to dig it out. :)

I got this cover for my fob. The last picture shows exactly what the fob looks like.

The answer to the original question : YES

Yes - it depends on the package(s) you got. I clicked each and every checkbox I could when I ordered mine.

Just installed the Mopar tailgate damper (#82215550AB) onto my Bighorn with level 1. Was wondering if the dealer would be able to program my key fob and set it to a certain number of presses to release the tailgate? I do not have the dedicated trunk release button as my key fob only has 4 buttons.

#1) Is it possible to install the remote tailgate release that comes on the Limited’s on to a Laramie?

So did anyone provide an answer to this? I am interested in adding it as well.
