Can anyone who has installed the tow hooks on a 2025 help me with removing the bezel - seems like on small hew bolt and 2-3 clips but I'm struggling to get anything to pop open..

Their are no bolts just three tabs. Below is a picture of the backside so you can see the holes on the bezel, the actually push tabs are on the truck. I had to finagle with them a bit to release, one tab was a bit harder then they other two for some reason.

I'm definitely having trouble with this. I've read on other forums on here they just push out but mine absolutely do not. Did you pop it out from the front? We're you able to release the 3 points from the back?

yes i was able to release the tabs from the back side, you will have good access if you take off the wheel well liner panel at the front of each wheel well, 5 bolts hold them on. Push on each tab pulling back at the same time until it releases.

Yup. That’s the route I went. The finish on them is great and super easy to install. They fit perfect and on the 2025 you just pop out the “tow hook delete” insert. No new bezel required.

So they just pop out? There’s no screws or clips to remove? Thanks in advance

I can't pop these 2025 bezels out to save my life. I'm not joking , if my life depends on this, I'd be deceased.

You say you have to push, bend, pull, twist the tabs while pushing the bezel inward to release? I've tried all that. I'm pushing so hard the bezel is pressed up against the frame, and there is no room for it to move after it's flexed 4+ inches. I actually got the inboard tab to release, but the last 2 are like, "No way dude, go work on a Chevy, leave me alone" Why the hell Ram make this so hard? I'm about to get my Dremel and cut the tabs off.

I figured it out. It's not bad getting the bezels out once you know the secret to each tab. The bottom tab is the worst. After popping out the inboard one, you can use tin snips to cut the bottom one off, then the outboard comes out with a shove of a screwdriver.

Also you don't need to remove the big long bolt. Just loosen it up so the split grommet fits over the bolt. Took 15 min on each side.

When I go to Rough Country’s webpage it shows they will not fit my 2025 . I have sent them a message asking what the difference is but haven’t received a reply yet.

So you went with the Rough Country tow hooks for your 2025? I’ve contacted Rough Country and they say they will not work on 2025’s.

Can someone confirm that the Rough Counrty for 2019-2021 will work on my 2025 because Rough Country says they will not fit?????

Can someone confirm they used the Rough Country hooks shown fitting 2019-2021 for their 2025 Ram Laramie since the company says they will not fit??????

I installed the rough country hooks on my 2025 with no issues.

Only difference is that I want mine in red. You would think RC would have them in a popular color like that.

I have a 2025 Laramie Sport. I just installed these today. They fit perfectly. No need to change out the bezel at all.

Were they easy to install?

2X6 trick worked -- Thanks
Pain in the rear end to pull the long bolts that have the washer on them.
I was able to torque the long bolts to spec, however the supplied shorter bolts maybe around 100NM instead of 180 NM.
Could not use my impact wrench due to the angle, even with swivel sockets.
I had to manually yank the aero piece to get better access. hopefully it will retract and deploy as intended.

2 hour job - the Amazon tow hooks fit perfectly

Thanks again

Any pics ?

I would believe the others on here that actually installed them. Sometimes companies don’t wanna be liable if the part wasn’t specifically made for a certain model or year. Even though the part is made for a generation.
