Best 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup Truck Accessories and Parts

Product was exactly as described installation was very easy. I used this kit on my 01 Dodge Ram 4x4 because my truck did not have a trailer brake controller.

I had the product professionally installed and I love it. I tried the video assist install and it was too vague. I understand that every vehicle is different and trying to install the brake module was difficult. Also I had leftover parts that I couldn't use. This product was installed on my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport. The part that was the hardest was running the wiring through the engine firewall and finding and connecting it to the interior wiring (personally I was afraid I would fry my dash. It did save me on part costs. I don't regret using a professional to do the work, just wish I compared prices with the professional on their parts verse supplying the parts and paying just for labor. I am now using my controller to tow my 2001 Wilderness travel trailer.

Arrived as scheduled, UPS driver delivered Ram Oem Adapter For Above-bed 5th Wheel Hitches (RP30154) right to my 2016, 2500 4x4, RAM truck where I unpackaged & installed in less than an hour. Took me a few hours longer to place, attach and adjust the Reese 16K hitch to the proper height. The 4x4 height required the hitch to be lowered. Fantastic pre sales support aided in the proper selection & order at a reduced cost.

The base arrived in a timely manner as it was delivered over a holiday weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a faster time if I wanted it. The box was literally ripped apart and I’m assuming somewhere between etrailer and my house the workers just didn’t care. Installation of the base was as easy as it could be. Fit right into my 2018 Ram Pucks without any issues. I was actually surprised how easy it was. I think it was harder to put the end caps in and all they needed was a little tap. This is why I am giving it a 4 star and not a five star. I have a B&W bitch as you can see in the picture. Once it was in the slots there was absolutely no play at all. Fit like a glove. The problem came with the left hand side holes for the bolts and or pins to go in. The holes were drilled at a slight angle and were offset from each other. The bolt slid in and through the hitch holes but not out the other side. I ended up having to drill the holes out and snapped a bit in doing so, but once that was done the hitch was bolted down and I couldn’t be happier. I’m not sure if Reese had an issue the day mine was made but not a big deal. etrailer got me the base quick and I’m happy they carried this product because I love my Fifth wheel hitch and would have been upset if I had to Pay $xx.xx instead of what I payed for this. I highly recommend this for anyone who may be converting from a bolted rail system to the Puck system.

I plugged it in, just as described on a YouTube video, and all seems perfect. There were no specific instructions in the package for my application (2013 Ram 1500). In defense however, the connectors are not interchangeable so there was really no way to connect it wrong. Plenty of extra length wire to work with. The worst part was getting under the dash!

Great customer support during the ordering and installation process. Installation was on a 2014 Ram 1500 using an existing controller.

Sorry for the late follow-up. I just wanted to let you know that the brake controller and wiring harness I purchased through eTrailer worked very well with my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins 6.7L diesel. Pictures are attached for your use, as required. The trailer was an 18-foot enclosed snow machine tailer with a steel chassis. I can't remember the empty weight, but it's substantial. We towed empty and full on dry and snow covered roads from Oklahoma to Colorado and back. Even with th exhaust brake on my truck, I can't imagine towing this load through the hills and mountains without a brake controller. It's been done before, but I would say it's an unnecessary risk given the more than reasonable prices at eTrailer...it was cheap insurance pulling such a heavy rig with my family on board. The controller was definitely not your top-of-the-line model, but the adjustability and controls were more than adequate for somebody who tows occasionally. A professional may desire more proportional controls and adjustability, but not much more. This unit peformed flawlessly. Thank you for your time. Please feel free to contct me if you would like any clarification on my statements or pictures.

Great product if you plan to add multiple connectors on your trailer. Allows you to tie in the two connector cables into the wire harness of the trailer itself and have all the connections easy to access. Also allows you to add circuits as easily as crimping on some more ring terminals and adding the wires. Keeps all the connections neat and tidy. A must if you have brakes and plan to use then with a vehicle that has a brake controller module, and on a vehicle that has the flat four only connector. I can tow my flatbed with either of my trucks and connect the trailer to either connector with no adapters.

I was rewiring a trailer for a seven-prong harness, and used this junction box after watching a video on the etrailer site. Made the job easier, and now if I want to add some wiring, I can just go to the box and add it.

Used these to attach a camper to my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. They worked great, and are well made.

Brakes work great! I used a self tapping screw to ground the brake to the trailer. This worked really well and I didn't need to run a ground wire. The studs needed a trip to the hardware store to get some 7/16 by 40 pitch (fine thread) nylock nuts. All in all a nice brake setup.

I purchased the 12" auto adjust brake set for my trailer. They arrived in a timely manner and installation was VERY easy. 5 bolts and 2 wire connections and one unit done. They worked as they should from the first use. I only took it around the block to make sure they worked as they should and they worked just fine. If you need to replace your brakes I would look at these as they make it A LOT easier than just replacing the shoes although a bit more expensive, but then again everything on the backing plate is new and won't need to be replaced for a long time down the road.

Received my electric brakes in 48 hours. Great product, had them installed a half hour later. Will always buy my parts from etrailer.

Needed this kit quick for 800 mile trip to PA where I was to purchase our 5th wheel toyhauler and drive back to TN. Lisa D from Etrailer assisted. Actually she spent a lot of time making sure part would be correct fitment and arrive on time. She hit the mark and plan went down splendidly. Quality of kit is very heavy duty and well built. The only thing odd was from Curt. Their videos and advice of installation were kind of weird since they have you drilling holes in truck bed then checking to see if hardware matched up. Not me, I measured several times and got all the holes right first time around. It’s a solid setup for my Ram 2500 that’s capable of pulling more than my truck can handle. Exhaust hanger on my truck rubs the bracket just a bit but could be ground down if I was concerned. Thanks Lisa D. for sticking through my order and getting it right all for a relatively small purchase. My family and I will be safer for your recommendations. Take Care.

I am so pleased with the replacement pads for my running boards. I also want to thank the staff at your facility especially Meghan. She spent an enormous chunk of time sorting through the products and came up with a perfect match for me. I returned home Saturday afternoon and the package was at my front door. I immediately opened the package and installed the replacement running board step pads . Thanks again for your expert advice and help .

Product arrived quickly however during install the step guard cracked when I used a rubber mallet to try and pound it flush also at least one of the pegs bent. It was not clear to me from the instructions do I place the brackets on the pegs first or in the step holes then place the step guard into the brackets already in the holes. I put the brackets on the pegs first and it did not work. Well.

Once more these items are great and reaaly do a good job and I thank you for the super service I got getting everything I wanted, Thanks Jim C

works perfect

These Dexter brakes are ALMOST complete. So why didn't they include the rubber plugs for the adjuster holes? Otherwise they seem to be well made and installed without a hitch. Can't wait to see if they really do self adjust like car brakes have for eons.

Easiest brake job I have ever done. Everything went Perfectl. Quick shipping and website is very informative to help with any job.

Product was exactly as listed on the website.

perfect fit

I ordered the Mighty Cord 5th Wheel/gooseneck 7-way wiring harness for my 2018 Ram 3500. The installation was quick and easy. Thank you etrailer.com for the great products, fast shipping, and commitment to making my life easy.

I've been using this product for many years. Put it on any electrical system to cut down on corrosion. I put it on Bulb sockets, Battery terminals, all of my R/V plugs and sockets. Works great. Thank you for another GREAT product etrailer!!

Stacey was an awesome help on the phone product was exactly what I had expected, installation was time consuming but worked out great thank you Stacey thank you etrailer be using you all again

This kit works well for transfering existing hitch and rails to new/used vehicle.

Easy install and Does what it was supposed to do

The trailer plug/junction boxes worked out very well! Using them made it a lot easier to rewire the trailer.

Fit perfect!! love these when Im not needing the wheel and want to keep the trailer from rolling around.

Foot plate is heavy and well constructed. Perfect fit for my jack - easy install.

Have been wanting the velcro repaired and didn't know you had replacement strips until I googled and found a clip on utube showing your product. I was thrilled because I was planning to use sticky side velcro and with our heat in the Carolina I always have a mess of glue running. Your replacement was the option avoiding total replacement of my truxedo cover. It's 13 years old and still good to go as I treat the cover like a convertible top. When I originally purchased my low profile it was near $200.00 less than the cost today. As you can see by my 2010 Dodge Ram things will last and look good if you do preventive maintenance. Thank you for your excellent service.

It was great to be able to adapt the 16K hitch purchased just a couple of years age for my Dodge Ram pickup to my new Ford F250. The brackets used the existing frame mounts and no holes had to be drilled in the frame. It was a bit of work to drill the bed floor holes, but the kit came with accurate instructions and the plastic galvanic corrosion protection and all mounting bolts for the aluminum body. Extra work required because the full plastic bed liner had to be notched so the tracks would bolt directly to the bed.
