Ram showed a redesigned 1500 at the Detroit Auto Show this week, and there are enough major changes to the truck to raise the question of is this Gen5? Redesigned frame, electric torque boost with stop/start capability and 24v battery, new bodywork with distinct grilles for trim levels and NO Crosshair grill, 4” more length in the crew cab compartment and rear seats that recline, higher payload & tow ratings, etc. etc. So is this the Gen5 intro? You can see the info for yourself over at FTL and Pickuptrucks.com. I posted the videos here this morning but that got promptly punted into Off Topic... Dealers will be taking orders for the 2019s at the end of January, according to the interview, so if this is Gen5–when do we see a new sub forum so we don’t get punted to Off Topic for discussing the truck? These new trucks are so different from my 2016 they certainly don’t seem to be part of the same generation...
