I like the ‘19 Rebel. Very sharp. What I dislike are the hood/fender badging. And they sit in a recess so you cant simply debadge it...

That’s what turns me off. They’re trying to slowly outbling Chevy/GMC.

I get stuck not liking something new when i already like what it's replacing. The 4th gen is in general a great looking truck; didn't see a need to fix the exterior look that's for sure. A lot of 5th gen around where i live. Not liking the look of many 5th gen trucks I've seen, but, depending on trim and color / chrome combinations, some look damn good. Not looking to trade in my rebel anytime soon that's for sure. Glad Ram is wanting to stay competitive and striving for better though

Lol that’s great! And what’s with those air gaps on the corners of the front. Has to be the worst looking truck on the market, not that it wasn’t before with those terrible square wheel wells.

I agree. Thing looks like it can’t decide if it’s squinting/winking/giving you the stink eye.

Only thing I like on it is the bumper steps. And that’s just for practicality reasons.

And the GMCs always looks better. Their grill is simply an evolution. And that new tailgate, while not “jaw dropping “, is pretty neat. But something else to break.

The ‘19 Rams are growing on my. Except those high end models with the 22” wheels. It’s a truck not a Corvette.

Egh....lol. I think they’ve gotten uglier...[emoji1785]

Neat? Yeah, a little but totally unnecessary in my book. I mean, who really needs a tailgate that looks like something that came out of a Transformers movie?

You can still get one with 20’s. You’re probably more than likely going to have to special order one if you don’t want it with the 22’s but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a couple of the Limiteds and the Laramie Longhorn‘s our there on dealer lots that have 20’s on them.

U know, maybe the 4th Gen looked betta, but WTH. I got MY 19. As long as performs as required, minimal MX stuff, except for the Bugs with a new Gen truck with recalls, starts, runs, cools, does job, Works for me. But I's just a Simple BOIRD< all IMHO.....

Well if they hadn't changed it to look like my '19 Laramie Longhorn crewcab both in (black/saddle) and out (black)....I wouldn't have bought Ram. So there are those potatoes.

I think the 5th gen looks better than my 17'. I like that it has a boxy front end. When I think of pickup truck that type of front end is what I see.
