Where is 5th Generation Thread?

I am not seeing a 5th Generation RAM section (2021 Ram 2500). Please advise. Thank you.

While some consider the 19+ trucks as 5th Gen I believe they are really more of a 4.5gen and thus are covered in the 4th Gen section.

5th gens will have an all new cab, vs the facelift of the 19+.

And there is still wild speculation about when the 5ths will actually come out. I've seen rumors/reports of all of the following:
- January 2022 as a 2022 model
- Summer/fall 2022 as a 2023 model
- January 2023 as a 2023 model
Interestingly, what I have not seen are spy shots of camouflaged 5th Ram HDs testing out in the wild. We know it will use the cab of the new 1500, but they still have to add a regular cab and Mega Cab if they want to continue those offerings. The only confirmed components going forward are Cummins diesels and AAM axles. No word on whether Stellantis will switch from the AAM solid front to the independent front GM uses. No transmission contracts have been signed beyond the ZF 8 speed for the gassers, so it's just a guess as to what will be behind the Cummins.

Auburn Hills is doing a good job of keeping the next Ram HD under wraps.
