That’s neat. Do they all have the same key?

That looks pretty cool and like a good idea. But it was painful watching the video. I’m sure it’s much easier using two hands.

Cool idea.

I may be missing something, but is the fuel filler door not locked when the truck is locked? I guess if not, this could give more peace of mind by adding an extra lock. Good option if that's what you need, though.

Anyone have the Geno’s Garage Locking Dust Cap on a 2021?

Does anyone have this locking dust cap on a 2021? www.genosgarage.com/product/ram-1500-locking-fuel-dust-cap/fuel-caps Curious why it would fit on a ‘20, but not a ‘21. What’s different? Thanks

I've had the Geno's Garage cap for a couple years now and works great, definitely easy to install using both hands, lol

No, the gas doors do not lock.

No, the fuel filler door does not lock.

Edit: @6of36 You beat me to that by about 1.243 seconds

If the fuel door locked there would not be a need to hava a locking cap.

Unless you **** someone off and are worried about them trying to put something in your fuel tanks there is no need for a locking cap

I have two other vehicles from 2012 and 2013 which have fuel door releases in the cab. One is a Jeep. Not sure why FCA did away with this feature. Doesn’t really bother me, as it’s just something else to break.

Because of problems with the release. Breaking or freezing up in winter making it so you can't open the fuel door.

If that was actually happening it's because of a bad design. And designing that out of a vehicle instead of fixing it just makes me laugh. I've owned many cars with locking fuel doors over the past four decades, and none of them ever froze up in winter. The release breaking makes my point about a bad design.

Our Kia has a cable operated release, but the Jeep has a remote servo motor style release. I would imagine the Jeep one breaking before the Kia. Hope neither of them ever do tho

My previous auto had the servo motor locking gas door and the servo eventually failed in the locked position. There was no manual override or access from the trunk. After careful measurements from a friend who had the same car, I drilled thru the door and thru the pin of the servo to get the door open and fill up the car again. I'm more than happy not to have this on the new RAM...

That sucks! I hope Jeep grand cherokees have some kind of override

My 20 year old A6 has never once had an issue with the (electronic) gas door lock.

They all have the same key. Diesel, Gas, DEF.
