Are there locking gas caps available? Have a 19' Limited with the 33 gal. tank option if that matters. Thanks in advance.

This is a great find @LimitedGRR.
I have been waiting for someone to make one of these.
Ordering today. Will give my feedback after installed...
I made a thread about this cap a few weeks ago. I'm waiting to see if the price comes down. $76 is a lot for a gas cap, once you add in shipping and tax.

I’m willing to give it a shot. I’ve spent more on other crap for the truck. What’s another 70 after ceramic coating, plastic film for lights, window tint, tonneau cover, sway bar, etc etc etc etc and etc
If it saves my truck from stupidity then it’s worth a tank of gas to get it.

Geno's garage (I think it's called) is the only company that makes a locking gas cap for the new body Rams. Mopar doesn't and will never make one (per my conversation with them)

Wonder how it will lock or hold on to nozzle, there’s no threads

There's a small lip where the silver end cap attaches to the filler tube and it looks like it slides over that and locks to keep would-be miscreants from accessing your tank.

There’s some kind of plate from beneath that gets tightened with the security key. Might be a bit awkward but a small price to pay for what it accomplishes Just CAN NEVER lose those security keys! I suspect one will live in driver door pocket forever. Keychain would be a bad idea if you ever lost your keys. Curious once I get it, if the key can be modified to be a little shorter. Shipped today so I should see it by Saturday or Monday

One word.... Paranoid.
I suspect those clamoring for a lock are first-time capless gas tank owners. I've been on car and truck forums probably since forums came about and I can't recall anyone from Fords, GMs or Dodge/Ram complaining about getting tanks messed with. All sorts of vandalism threads over the years but gas being contaminated from vandalism? Nope. Plenty of threads about contaminated gas from water in gas station fillups.
I love not having to screw around with gas caps. I've had capless gas tank vehicles since 2008 with no door locks. Well, I did have one on a Corvette but that was quickly disabled because the dumb solenoids would fail frequently enough. For years one or two sat outside 24/7.
Anyway.... Whatever let's you sleep at night.......

It's not paranoia if it's actually happened is it? Fortunately I yelled at them before they got the gas cap all the way off, and hadn't been able to dump anything in yet. It was kids, and they dropped a zip loc bag full of sugar as they were running away. No, definitely not being paranoid for wanting to have a locking gas cap. At the very least the fuel filler door should lock with the rest of the truck.
