Sorry should have specified I’m talking 1500s

He might be talking about the 1500, different axle.

I don't know the answer to the question unfortunately - and actually the amount of traction supplied with the factory anti-spin rear in my 4th gen 1500 plus the low speed traction control is impressive enough I don't think I'd bother with a locker even if it was five dollars. I do have a selectable locker in my other 4x4 so I know what I'm "missing"

Still, that's me and everyone's needs are different.

Another option if the 5th-to-4th gen locker swap isn't workable; used Power Wagons are a lot of truck for the money, it might be worth the difference to just trade up to a PW if you need a Ram with lockers and get all the other strength upgrades with it.

Completely new axles on the 5th gen 2019 Ram.

Not compatible with 2019 classic or other 4th Gen RAM trucks

That may be a legitimate option.

The '18 1500 4X4 / 5.7 is 14/17/21 (city/average/highway) according to fueleconomy.gov and Motortrend reports 11.6/13.0/15.3 on a PW but I'd imagine the 1500 v. 2500PW numbers would be a little closer together if you made it apples-apples with the same tires. But you make a good case, capability costs.

I get average 14-15 mpg with mostly highway driving. Just put 37x12.5x20 on
