What Our Customers Rave About

4.93 stars from 49 verified customers

"The dash was a perfect fit, zero issues installing. The material is slightly flexible but very strong plastic—nowhere near as brittle as the OEM crap. Anyone who is second-guessing this product, don't! It is well worth the money. This is one purchase I do not regret."

— Michael C.

"After installing, my cab is noticeably quieter and feels solid when driving over the many potholes around my town. When everything was assembled, it was a very solid structure."

— Justin C.

2001 Ram 2500 Cummins, 377,250 miles

"I found DRT online and emailed them with a couple questions. I included my cell number with low expectations of an actual call, and less than 12 hours later Ben called! He was a huge help and answered all my questions. I placed the order that day and by the end of the day it was shipped and heading my way. HIGHLY recommend DRT and their superior lower dash!"

— Rudi G.
