front right fender for Dodge RAM 1500 TRX 5th Gen 6VY74TRMAD
part number 6VY74TRMAD identifies the Front Right (Passenger Side) Fender specifically for the Dodge RAM 1500 TRX (DT Platform).
It is important to note that while the TRX is a “5th Generation” RAM 1500, this fender is not interchangeable with a standard RAM 1500 (Limited, Laramie, or Big Horn). The TRX features a wide-body design that is 8 inches wider than the base truck, requiring a completely different stamping.
Technical Specifications
-
Material: High-strength stamped steel.
-
Width: Extended “Wide-Body” profile to accommodate the TRX’s increased track width and 35-inch factory tires.
-
Apertures: Includes the precut opening for the functional fender heat extractor vent and the mounting points for the composite fender flare (wheel arch extension).
-
Finish: Usually supplied by Mopar in e-coat (primer black), requiring paint-to-match.
Critical Fitment & Components
When sourcing or selling the 6VY74TRMAD, ensure the following related components are accounted for, as they are often damaged or removed during fender replacement:
-
Heat Extractor Vent: The black functional vent (grille) that sits at the rear of the fender. This is a separate part number but is essential for the TRX’s engine bay cooling.
-
Fender Flare (Wheel Arch): The TRX uses a heavy-duty composite flare that bolts onto this steel fender. If the fender was hit, the mounting clips on the flare are likely sheared off.
-
LED Clearance Light: The TRX has an amber LED marker light integrated into the fender flare (due to its width exceeding DOT requirements). Ensure the wiring harness pigtail behind the fender is intact.
-
Inner Liner: The TRX uses a specialized heavy-duty plastic inner wheel well liner to protect the engine bay from off-road debris.
Inventory Inspection & Shipping Notes
| Inspection Point | Common Issue |
| Trailing Edge | Check the thin vertical edge where the fender meets the front door. This is easily bent during uninstalled storage. |
| Upper Body Line | The TRX has a very sharp “sculpted” line near the hood. Ensure there are no “high spots” or ripples from previous poor repairs. |
| Mounting Tabs | Inspect the top rail mounting holes. If the truck was jumped or used heavily off-road, these holes can become elongated (“egged out”). |
Shipping Warning
Because of the “Wide-Body” flare out, this fender has a significantly larger footprint than a standard truck fender. It requires a “Double-Wall” corrugated box or a wooden crate to prevent the outer “arch” from being crushed during transit.
