2019 classic, which gen is it?

[shaner82]

Just bought a 2019 Warlock. Been browsing the DIY forums but I'm not sure which one to browse, the 4th Gen or 5th Gen.

Which gen is this truck? Every part I go to buy either starts at 2019 or stops at 2018 model year.

I read a few comments from members on here that the 2019 classics are 4th Gen trucks. Just want to confirm. I have no idea what parts fit my truck

4th Gen, congratulations on the new truck.

Thanks. So when parts say they fit 2013-2018 model years, it will fit my 2019 as well? Is there any exceptions to this rule?

There have been some minor differences like running board mount bracket holes. For the most part if it lists for an '18 you'd be good to go. When in doubt ask the manufacturer or seller.

Running boats holes are the same, just the 19+ and late 18s have a structural support on drivers side where the front running board bracket mounts. It requires an actual bolt as there is no prethreaded hole there.

19 Classic is a 4th Gen. All parts that fit a 13 to 18 will fit a 19 classic.

Thank you everybody since mine is a 2019 classic as well and I was looking at running boards last night. This helps me solve that confusion

Im guessing Gen 4, but..When I look up aftermarket it has its own class?

That's the confusing part. Sites list a part that fits a 2018 RAM 1500, but doesn't fit a 2019 RAM classic. So if the sites are all wrong, why do they even have the classic listed?

I'm having the same issue with my Classic. I'm looking for a 2wd leveling kit and they all say not compatible

Order for a 2018. As stated earlier the 2019/20 classic is a 4th generation that was made from 2009-present so there are plenty of parts out there for them. With the new body style coming out in 2019 (5th generation), and running concurrently with the 4th generation classics, there has been a lot of confusion regarding parts. For that reason I'd play it safe and just order parts for a 2018 to guarantee they work for the classic.
