Hopkins Tailgate Lift Assist Compatibility with 2013 Dodge Ram

Question:

I just want to double check the easy lift will work on a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 crew cab Laramie with the backup camera in the tailgate handle and power lock? Thanks

We do have a tailgate assist options for your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie, however, I spoke with my contact at Hopkins and he confirmed that the Hopkins Tailgate EasyLift, # 74211, will not fit the newer generation Dodge trucks (2009 to 2013) due to the internal structure of the tailgate.

For your truck, I recommend the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Lowering System, # DZ43300. This system uses a shock absorber to make lowering your tailgate smooth and easy. I have attached a link to the installation instructions for you to check out.
