Product Description
Ram HD 2500 and 3500, 2010-2018 Tailgate Accent, 2.75-Inch Polished Stainless (RT50937)
RT50937 is a one-piece polished stainless tailgate accent for the heavy-duty Ram: the Ram HD 2500 HD and 3500 HD, model years 2010 through 2018, 2-door and 4-door pickups. The record lists it at 2.75 inches wide.
HD trucks only
The fitment tags this part 2500 HD and 3500 HD. A light-duty Ram isn't named here, so its owner should look elsewhere or call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
Two tailgate pieces for the same truck
The record links a second tailgate part, RTT50936, described as a top tailgate accent trim listed at 1.5 inches, with a note reading 2" to 1.5" width. RT50937 carries no placement note of its own, so the data doesn't say exactly where on the gate it sits; the product photos show it. If you want both, look at the photos of each listing together, and call if you need to know whether they sit apart cleanly on your tailgate.
Construction
Made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish. The accent mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Size it with tape
Two and three-quarter inches is a medium band, wide enough to notice from behind the truck. Cut painter's tape to that width and lay it where the photos show, then decide whether you like the proportion. Ask us for the length to make the mock-up complete.
Prep for a hard-working tailgate
HD trucks see trailers, gravel and pressure washers. Inspect the paint first, and repair any peeling or chalky areas, because tape only holds the top layer. Then wash, dry, and wipe repeatedly with a residue-free cleaner until a clean cloth shows nothing. Skip spray waxes beforehand.
Installation in brief
Dry-fit with the liner on and center the accent by measuring from both tailgate edges. Mark the top line with painter's tape. Peel from one end, anchor, and press across with firm, even pressure. A dry, mild day is best. The Installation tab covers each step.
Linked Ram HD trim
Besides RTT50936, the data links MI50937 molding insert, RWB50937 under rear window accents, TH50937 rocker insert kit, HT50937 hood accent, and WS50937 window sills. Several are tagged for the crew cab or a standard bed, so read the tags, and check each listing for its finish.
After installation
Wait a few days to wash, then stick to mild soap and a soft cloth. Aim a pressure washer away from the edges of the accent rather than straight at them.
Why solid stainless on a work truck
Polished 304 is the same steel all the way through. A scuff from a load or a ratchet strap doesn't break through a plated skin to a different metal underneath, and the shine can be brought back with a gentle metal polish if it ever dulls.
It's trim
Nothing on the tailgate is replaced. The gate opens and closes as before.

Installation tips: Tailgate Accent Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
