I think I read somewhere that the Ram classics are 4th gen even though the year model is 2019. Is that correct?

Thanks guys. Went to a dealer yesterday and the salesman didn't have any idea what 5th Gen meant. Should he have? Otherwise he seemed to know a fair amount about the vehicles.
Many people who work at dealerships are not enthusiasts. They may not even drive the brand they work for. They know what the brand provides them with, which are selling points. I doubt generation lists make those brochures. It’s more likely they’re told “all new RAM.”

I think that about sums it up. Thanks.

I remember visiting a friend who worked at Nissan, this young salesman tried talking my ex and I into an Altima and I kid you not, he kept looking down at the spec sheet every other second
I think you need to run in the other direction from that dealership. Jesus!Thanks guys. Went to a dealer yesterday and the salesman didn't have any idea what 5th Gen meant. Should he have? Otherwise he seemed to know a fair amount about the vehicles.
^^^ Maybe they should study up a little. Most of us did before we went to the dealership. The ones I hate are the ones that try to wing it---****--if you don't know say, "I don't know--but I'll find out".

I heard a rumor the Classics are still selling so much, they may carry over as a 2020?
There are a lot like that, some are just doing it as a job, they aren't enthusiasts, as others stated earlier in the thread.
However, sometimes its just a guy getting his start down the enthusiast trail. We were all new once.

Huh. Interesting. I'll have to look into that. I'll ask a friend of mine. He's a G.M.at a CDJR dealership. I'll post what he tells me about that.
I worked on the line at a metal stamping plant for years and we stamped out RAM hood fenders and most body panels--as the 2019 panels are new dimensions and contours-they need to use the surplus from the 4th gen. ie the "classic" Its still a new truck but they just badged it as so and perhaps changed some interior effects. Also,the hoods were all stamped on the aluminum line with a die with different tungsten cutting butts. I imagine the new rams also have aluminum hoods.
