* Ram trucks built from July 1, 2000 to July 2001 are referred to as 2001.5 models by Ram owners (DC still calls them 2001 models). Most 2001.5 models differ from 2001 models by:

Checked the date 06/00 so I checked the box w/ features because it has all the features it should have for a pre-july model.

I was just looking around my truck for some cargo straps and saw grab handles.
I forgot mine has rear grab handles on both sides but they are attached to the front seats not the roof where I would have seen them from the drivers seat.
Are these what you're looking for?
It was too dark for a pic

By the way, this is kind of off subject but maybe there's something missing on my 01.5 model. I took my passenger door panel off to take the glass out and noticed an extra plug strapped up more on the end by the door jam. Its just a small 2 prong plug with power going to it. Is there an option I am missing?
