If your factory Ram head emblem is faded, damaged or you want a darker, modern look for your pickup, this Autogem replacement offers an uncomplicated swap. Engineered to match the original tailgate mounting area for 2006–2018 RAM models, the emblem installs with peel-and-stick adhesive and restores the truck's rear appearance without drilling or trimming in most OEM locations.

Which models and years does this emblem fit?

This emblem is designed for late-model Ram trucks and covers a wide range of tailgate styles. It fits 2006–2018 RAM pickups, including specific coverage for 2012–2019 1500s and 2013–2019 2500/3500 applications where the factory Ram head was used.

• Compatible with RAM 1500 (2006–2018) tailgates.
• Fits RAM 2500 and 3500 (2013–2018/2019 depending on tailgate design).
• Direct-fit on original flat mounting surfaces; tabs may be trimmed for other surfaces.

How do I install the Autogem RAM tailgate emblem?

Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools—most owners complete the swap in minutes. Clean the surface, remove the adhesive backing, press into place, and let the adhesive set for long-term hold.

• Wipe the tailgate area with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry completely.
• Peel the protective film from the strong adhesive backing.
• Align carefully, press firmly for 30 seconds, and allow adhesive to cure for 24 hours.

What is this emblem made of and how durable is it?

The emblem uses a durable, weather-resistant finish built for exterior vehicle use. While it has a matte/flat black surface for a contemporary look, the underlying construction resists rain, road grime and normal UV exposure when installed correctly.

• Matte black finish for a subdued, modern appearance.
• Weather- and UV-resistant materials suitable for exterior use.
• Strong adhesive backing designed for long-term bonding to painted metal.

Can I use this emblem on surfaces other than a Ram tailgate?

Yes. The emblem can be mounted on any flat surface; however, some aftermarket or curved locations may require trimming of the locating tabs. Use care to ensure a clean, smooth adhesion surface for best results.

• Works on bumpers, trim pieces or custom panels with flat mounting area.
• Trim off locating tabs if the original tab slots are not present.
• Follow surface prep steps to prevent peeling or loss of adhesion.

Who is this for: The Autogem matte-black RAM tailgate emblem is for RAM owners who want to replace a worn or missing badge, or who prefer a darker, updated aesthetic for their truck’s rear.
