Is the 2019 truck the "all new" 5th Gen truck??

I'm a bit confused. Is the 2019 the "all new" 5th generation RAM, or is this a 4.5 generation RAM with the "all new" truck to follow in a year or two? I realize there are quite a bit of changes, but the exterior cab/styling looks nearly identical to the current trucks. Pretty much a new bumper and grill..

From what I have read, the cab and boxes are the same. Everything else is new, so Gen4.5 sounds about right.

The 5th gen, which will use the cab of the new 1500, will be a 2022 model introduced at some point in 2021.

Okay, now it makes sense to me. I'll be looking forward to see the all new truck in a couple years. Thanks for the info

My extended warranty ends in November 2021. Just in time for the all new 2022!

Are you going to be under your max mileage by then?

Mine is 7yr 100k no deductible. I am at 4 years and 64k. That's 16k per year multiply that by 3 and at the end of 7 years I will be at 112k. My mileage has been less the last two years so I assume I will be good thru 7 years.

I only have 44K on it now, warranty is 8 years 120K, I'll still be under.

I got my hands on a 2019 DRW 3500 today at the World Ag Show in Tulare, CA. The new big screen is cool, but that's about it. The new front clip is a nice but neither the big faced radio or revised front clip make me want to buy one. I'll wait for the all new makeover.

With GM and Ford both coming out with 10-speeds, I can't imagine Ram won't have one by 2021. My company truck is a 2015 Chevy 3500HD Duramax/Allison, and if their new 'Allison branded' GM trans is anything like the real Allison, it'll be awesome. 80k miles and only issue has been a failed DEF heater under warranty (all 6 of our similar trucks had the same repair). Not a big fan of IFS for a bigger truck, but I have at least 25k off-road and not one single issue. And the 3500 rides quite a bit better than my 2010 2500 empty. As the saying goes, I wish they put a Cummins in there!

Ya time will tell on the in house GM built Allison
