Hey, just got a brand new 07 1500 4x4, going to pick it up this afternoon. I want to do some light offroading with it, but it was a pretty screwy package, so it's missing things I would expect to find on a 4x4. There are no skid plates (not even the "standard" oil pan one listed on the website), no hitch (not really a big issue), and no front tow hooks.

Basically, is it better to get the skid plates from the parts center of the dealership, online, junkyard? Install isn't a problem, and normally I'd just grab em online, but I'm having trouble finding a match. I'm not sure if it's just because it's an 07 and most of the old parts aren't updated yet, or is there some signifigant difference between say an 05 and an 07?

 

See if the dealer can order you up the skid plates that come with the TRX4 package - and you can install or they will. I bet they will tell you then must install otherwise it affects your warranty.

TRX comes with a transfer case skid plate and front suspension skid plate. Dodge.com should have more details.
