Hey Rudi! The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate item # VGD-02-4000 is going to be significantly lighter than your factor tailgate as it weighs only 37-1/2 lbs.
It fits the following trucks:
2003 - 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup
2002 - 2002 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500
2009 - 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 and 3500
I checked with our vendors and we do not have a 5th wheel tailgate for a 2021 Ram 3500.
