2025 Ram Adding Power Running Boards

[chet1523]

real truck just listed the 2025 compatible running boards. They’ve now stated they have no intention of providing a solution for older versions of the running boards to work with the new 2025 ram. You have to purchase the new set. Here’s their response:

Hello,

You are unable to just purchase an OBD plug and move it over to the 2025 kit . Due to the kit having a smart series set up. This means you will need and obd plug, wiring harness, controller and boards.

Did they release a 2025 2500 Kit yet, have not seen it on the website?

Doesn’t look like it. The 1500 boards show as “temporarily unavailable”. The 2500 says “not compatible”.

I got tired of waiting for the AMP steps to find a solution for the 25's, so I ordered the OEM Mopar boards. Mechanically they're easy to install. Wiring is kind of a PITA. The dealership I ordered them through added the sales code for free. Overall I'm satisfied.

Where did you order? My dealer can't find part numbers and stated not available.

I spoke to Realtruck yesterday morning and they stated release this year with no hard eta.

I ordered directly from Mopar and picked a local dealer with the lowest price.

Translation: We hope to figure this out, but don't hold your breath.

I installed power boards from Rough Country on my 2023 Ram and they look same as Mopar ones and a lot cheaper. Plus you only need the positive and negative from the battery you good to go!
