I've got about 29K on my 2019 and--remarkably--very often when I enter the vehicle it still has that brand new smell. I've been led to believe that that smell is usually from some of the adhesives used in manufacturing but for this to remain so long to enjoy is astonishing. Your thoughts?

When I traded in my 2019 1500 last March it still smelled new inside, especially if it sat for a few days. If you keep it clean and never smoke in it the new car smell can last a long time. I never used any air fresheners or sprays either, just some interior detailer once and a while.

That's not something I ever used.
Yeah me neither but whenever new car smell is brought up it what comes to mind.
My 2018 with 58k still smells new to me also. No smoking, no food, no smelly people allowed. Keeps it like new.
