I’m dumping the Ram and buying a 2022 Toyota Tundra. I can deal with uglier than sin, low tech as a skateboard and a questionable new drivetrain over a hollow sounding rear door! You’d think Ram would have fixed that in the last two years of the 5th Gen model.![]()
And next year you'll be on the Tundra forums complaining about the cost of the gym membership required to be able to close the doorsI’m dumping the Ram and buying a 2022 Toyota Tundra.

Open/close all four doors on a crew cab. Typically, not for all Rams, the passenger door behind the driver doesn’t sound the same as the others when closed.What's wrong with the way the doors sound when closed? Mine sound just fine.![]()
Hearing aids muffle a lot of stuff I really don't want to listen to and/or don't care about. aren't they wonderful?I have never noticed any issues. The doors close fine. Maybe I don’t have my hearing aids turned up load enough to notice what y’all are talking about. Lol. If this is the only issue you have up but you will switch to another truck just because of it,well, then just switch. But don’t blame just on the sound of the rear doors…..you have other reasons which I respect. Just say it.
If you turn your truck on with the AC set to Max, it will blow the rear doors clean off. You have to start at a low setting, and work your way up.
How hard was this? Did it make a big difference? I thought I was the only one who noticed this yesterday!I removed the inner plastic door panels and installed sound deadening on the inside of the sheet metal. All four doors have a solid thud now when you close them, just have to remind your caveman buddies not to slam the doors with the extra weight in them it can’t be good.
Hardest part is dealing with the window glass, once you remove the door panels you will see two rubber stoppers in the inner panel you can remove to access the bolts holding the glass to the actuator. Remove those and carefully roll the window all the way up and secure it with tape, you can then move the window actuator down separately and remove the entire panel.How hard was this?
