Can I Put a Sport Hood on My Ram 2500? Which Years Fit, and What Does Not Come With the Hood

Can I put a Sport hood on my Ram 2500?

If your Ram 2500 or 3500 is a 2023 through 2026, yes. That is the range our 2023-2026 Ram 2500/3500 Sport Hood, painted is listed for, and it is an OEM Ram hood painted to your truck's paint code. A Ram 2500 Sport hood conversion on an older truck depends on which generation you have, and we cover that below.

Before you order, know this: the hood comes without the trim bezels that dress the scoop. The HD (2500/3500) bezels are their own parts, they are wider than the ones on a Ram 1500, and 1500 bezels will not fit. Ask us for the HD bezels when you order the hood so the truck isn't sitting with a bare scoop.

Does the Ram 2500 Sport hood come with the bezels?

No. The 2023-2026 listing is the painted hood itself, and the scoop trim bezels are not part of it. Ask us for the HD bezels when you order.

You can see this on the listing. The store files it as a hood, and every one of its options is a model year or a paint color. None of them is a bezel option. Compare that to the Ram 1500 Big Horn to Rebel/Sport listing, which the store files as a conversion kit. The two are sold differently, so don't assume the HD hood arrives the way a 1500 conversion does.

This comes up on the phone. An HD owner called us this summer asking about the scoop trim pieces, which do not come with the hood. The answer we gave is the one that matters here: the bezels for the 2500/3500 are different and wider than the 1500's, so the parts do not swap between them.

One more thing to ask about: what moves over from your old hood. Tell us your truck and we will tell you before you order.

Which years fit a Ram 2500 Sport hood conversion?

The painted Sport hood we carry is listed for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. It is the OEM part (the listing's SKUs carry Ram part number 68534237AC), and it comes painted in the factory color you pick by code.

The color options are tied to years. Bright Silver Metallic (PS2) is listed for 2023 through 2026 except 2024, for example. So pick your year first, then your code, and if the code you need is not offered for your year, ask us before you order.

4th gen vs 5th gen Ram 2500: what years are they?

The 4th gen Ram 2500 and 3500 run 2010 through 2018. The 5th gen starts with 2019. A lot of searches say "4th gen cowl hood" or "5th gen hood", so here is what the store lists for each.

For a 4th gen, our 2010-2018 Ram 2500/3500 painted hood is an aftermarket replacement hood. The listing does not describe it as a Sport, scoop or cowl hood, so read it as the stock shape.

There is also a 2012-2014 Ram 2500 painted hood in steel or aluminum, OEM or aftermarket. Its variants say "WITHOUT: Louvered Hood, Hood Scoop". If your 2012 to 2014 truck has louvers or a scoop now, that listing is not your match.

What about a cowl hood? We sell the scooped Sport hood for 2023 to 2026 trucks. If you own a 4th gen and want the cowl look, we don't have a listing for it. Send us your VIN anyway and tell us what you are after; we would rather tell you straight than have you order a hood that isn't the one you pictured.

What about a 2019 to 2022 Ram 2500?

That is the gap. The Sport hood listing starts at 2023, and we do not have a 2019 to 2022 Sport hood listing to point you to.

Our advice: do not order a hood listed for 2023 and up for a 2021 truck on the hope it fits. Call or message us with your VIN and we will tell you what we can get.

Why order by paint code instead of color name?

Because the name is not specific enough. On our older Ram hood listings, "Black" (PX8) and "Brilliant Black Pearl" (PXR) are both offered, and they are different paints. On the 2010-2018 HD hood, each color code is matched to its own span of years. The code is what we mix to, and it is what our paint match guarantee is built on.

On a Ram, the paint code is on the driver's door jamb. If you cannot find it, our post on how to find your car's paint code walks through it.

Can a Ram 1500 Sport hood go on a 2500?

No, and we would not try. The 1500 and the HD trucks use different hoods: our 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Big Horn to Rebel/Sport hood conversion carries part number 68276297AD, and the 2500/3500 Sport hood is 68534237AC. They are listed separately for that reason. The bezels differ too: the HD ones are wider, which is why 1500 bezels will not finish an HD scoop (more on that above). If you drive a 1500, that conversion is the one to look at.

The same "can I put the sportier trim's hood on mine" question comes in for other trucks too. A 2016 4Runner Limited owner asked us in October about the vented TRD hood. Same idea, different truck: here is how the TRD hood with scoop goes on a 5th gen 4Runner.

FAQ

Does the Ram 2500 Sport hood come with the bezels?

No. The 2023-2026 Ram 2500/3500 Sport hood listing is the painted hood itself. The scoop trim bezels are separate parts, and the HD bezels are wider than the Ram 1500's, so 1500 bezels will not fit. Ask us for the HD bezels when you order the hood.

What years does the Ram 2500 Sport hood fit?

Our painted Sport hood is listed for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. It is the OEM Ram part, painted to your truck's paint code. Color choices vary by year, so pick your year first.

What years are the 4th gen and 5th gen Ram 2500?

The 4th gen Ram 2500 and 3500 run 2010 through 2018. The 5th gen starts with the 2019 model year. ReveMoto lists a painted replacement hood for 2010-2018 trucks and a painted Sport hood for 2023-2026 trucks.

Where is the paint code on a Ram 2500?

On the driver's door jamb. Order by the code, not the color name, because names like black cover more than one paint on Ram trucks.

Will a Ram 1500 hood fit a Ram 2500?

No. The 1500 and the 2500/3500 use different hoods with different part numbers. ReveMoto lists the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Big Horn to Rebel/Sport conversion and the 2023-2026 Ram 2500/3500 Sport hood separately.
