For the bed step?

You are being quoted for the number in the regular parts catalog. You need the Mopar accessory. Part number 82215289AB or 82215289AF. Either should be able to be ordered shortly.

I think the one that is $624 might be the new one that comes with the new split tailgate, it's actually bigger and mounts towards the center of the bed?

I didn’t think there was any new bigger step or different mounting position. Could be wrong though.

I don't care for the split tailgate at all

I think they quoted you a price WITH installation...that is the only thing that makes any sense.

I don't like the tailgate either. I was just showing the different step that I believe might be going for $624?

 

[securityguy]

I get that but that step does look much different than the one's we all have...just mounted a bit different and certainly not worth over $300 more so I really do think the dealers were adding in an installation cost as nothing else makes much sense.

I've stated this before...

I had a Honda Ridgeline before my 2019 Ram. The swinging tailgate (and the in bed trunk) is something I really miss.

I think the split gate is great. It fixes my only gripe about the Ridgeline swing gate. It can be opened in a shorter space.

I was always looking around for cars when I was loading something into the bed of the Ridgeline, when I was in a public space. The tailgate was way out there!

I love the idea of the split tailgate but hate the off-center line. If they have it 50/50 so it was symmetrical I would be into it.

I'd rather have the much harder to see gap offset. An offset handle would look a lot more odd.

I'm old enough to remember when pretty much everyone laughed and/or gagged at the idea of a 4 door pickup.

Times, and opinions, have certainly changed.

YES! I couldn't believe it. I gave them the part numbers that were referenced previously on here and told them that the last letter at the end varies between B-F. I might just have to go in and see if what they are looking at is the same as what I asked them about. One of the dealers told me they have 157 of them at their distribution warehouse in Detroit.

Never mind I just read that there is that different bed step. Damn that’s a lot of scratch for a step! I felt bad paying half that for mine. Now I feel good

Has anyone successfully installed a bed step who also has the Magnaflow Exhaust? I have read the step interferes and hits the bigger magnaflow exhaust tips vs stock

I have both. If I let it go back hard it does tap the pipe as it goes up. Doesn’t hit if I retract the step back slow. It’s not touching when it is stored.
