2021 Ram 1500 Bed Step Install (EASY) 

Not a Dodge

That harness is much easier than the other one. There is a video on here about how to remove it. You push the red button towards the rear bumper (it clicks), then push down hard on the tab where the red button was (it clicks), then you can pull up on the white cam arm and the 2 plugs separate. Search for 2021 ram bed step harness and you should find it.

So I just went to install on my 2020 Rebel... they welded a cross support from the mounting plate to the step assembly...it blocks the exhaust...now WTF do I do??

This will NOT fit a 2019 Ram even though they claim it will. Perhaps my 5.7 SLT is too plain. The bolt holes do not line up and the hole for the little "temp holding stick/ball" does not exist in my frame/subframe. So, I pulled off the whole bumper and subframe, (8 bolts) cut off the ball/stick thingy. clamped it on the subframe with Vicegrips and welded it into place. Meh, it works fine, hangs in the correct place and holds my hefty butt. It'l do.

Video was excellent. Installation was difficult for me. I found another video that clarified how to disconnect the connector. Also, I removed the tailpipe to make installation easier.

Is this OEM?

It's not a Dodge.

Very helpful video and the step is a big help for me. I got it installed in no time and never tried to mess with that harness.

Just installed. Glad I watched this and didn’t undo the wiring harness. Clicked right back into place on step hole. Great add on to my Longhorn! Thanks

Did mine yesterday. Sure was a puzzle turning it into place. Well worth it.

Nice Job sir... I really enjoyed this video. I have the step arriving today, and so this video was really 'convenient' in aiding me in what I'm supposed to be doing. Thank you!

Thanks for the video as going to order this steps and the install looks pretty simple. I need this step to get up and into the bed .

I have the same harness….was pretty easy to unplug and reroute

Very nice - Thank you !

Mines on its way.

Nice install

Torque is 120. Please torque those 2 upper bolts are trailer hitch bolts. 2021 newer do not need to disconnect the electricial harness.

I have a 2021 also, where did you purchase it, or could you provide a link.

How is the exhaust holding up ok the Ram? I just ordered the same for my 2019 Laramie. Heard the drone was bad after doing more research. Whats been your experience?

Does RAM make these for both left and right sides?
