Has anyone put this on an 01 Ram 1500 4x4? Does it clear the open gate?

HiI have it on my 2013 F150. As far as I can guess since it mounts in the hitch it should clear in hight. On my truck when fully extended it just clears the edge of the tailgate and allows plenty of room to step up. For the price IMO it is some of the best a $$$$I have ever spent on a aftermarket item.

It does not. If your tailgate locks, that makes access more difficult. But it is not impossible (or even difficult) to slip a bar between lip of tailgate and Bakflip and "pop" it out of its channel. That being said, I've not had that kind of issue in 4 years I've owned it.

I have a 2004 toyota tundra with 4x4. When I disengaged my 4x4, I could hear a loud thump. I drained my transfer case and put royal purple in and now I hear only a slight click when I disengage my 4x4. It sure did make a difference for me. From what I"ve read if you have bad seals it will leak. Check out www.ericthecarguy.com about using synthetic materials. Hope this helps......

Ours is on a Nissan Armada and with an ice chest on it, the back door will still open. There is quite a bit of clearance

No. But the tailgate has to be open to get to the latch. So, if the gate locks the cover is essentially locked also.

if the gate is a little bit twisted it doesn't close on its own. look very closely from different angles, may need some tweaking on the install. good luck

Yes it does. I have it on my 2014 ram 1500. Be careful when installing the sensor. Use grease or some oil when installing that part.

It worked fine on my install,I have a 2012 Ram 1500 and there were no mods needed to make it fit. Installed as advertised.

I asked guys at 4 Wheel Parts, they told me on newer one its really not going to do much. New Ram trucks are already tuned up.

I had to cover an opening that size with this gate. I just added a single 2x4 as a spacer on the hinge side, and it works perfectly. My wife runs a daycare, and the gate has been up and solid as a rock for 9 years.

not too much. i have a lexus gx470 and the tailgate does not open completely.

Yes, it is open ended. I believe the reason everyone is having trouble sliding the 4x6 through but the 4x4s fit just fine is because you're not supposed to use a 4x6. You should sandwich two 2x6's and bolt them together, it is much stronger than a single 4x6.

there is no cap tether for it. I bought it for my 2010 nissan rogue and it fits but the factory cap tether does not fit it at all so I do not use it at all. When I remove the cap I keep it attached to the key on my lanyard until it is ready for me to put the cap on. As for fitting a '14 ram 1500 I do not know. If amazon says it fits then I suspect that it might but this should be taken with a grain of salt....though gates does offer other caps so checking with gates is a good place to start.

Yes it does fit 1 1/4 receiver and should clear your tire..........it is easy to use.
