Has there been any news on changes from, 2019 to 2020 models other than a few trim package changes?
And when do we expect to see 2020 announcements from RAM?
True on the F250 announcement, that 7.3 gas motor could be interesting, but I have learned the hard way before. Never never ever buy a Ford with a brand new motor package, wait until its been out two years and let everyone else deal with the recalls and issues.
I wonder if the designer was trying to go retro-ish with it, I see a vague similarity to the 1st gen C10 in the early 1960s that had the turn markers way high and the lights down low.

But yeah if they made the front e-locker at least an option with the off road package I could live with the rear just being a standard limited slip differential. I understand why you wouldnt want a LSD in the front even with CAD (Center Axle Disconnect) but you would thing the E-Locker would be...
Oh that would be fun, a big honkin truck that only has like 700 pounds of payload, four moderately sized passengers and you are overweight.
I kinda get it, but if you want flex and go crawling go buy a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
OMG that sucks, how can you call it a 3/4 ton... Hell my old 2001 Ram 1500 could handle 1500 pounds, the new Ram 1500 approaches 1900 pounds...
Yeah there is no way I will be buying a 3/4 ton truck that can only handle 1100 pounds payload, I need closer to 3,000 pounds payload.
I really dont understand why the E-Lockers are listed as a package option for the Tradesman, but not the other trim levels (other than the Power Wagon). I wonder if the E-Locker differential isnt up to the task of having 1000 ft pounds of torque thrown at it?
So I notice they have a section on the ramtrucks.com website for the new HD, but there is minimal real info in there.
Any thoughts when we might see more detailed specs or truck builder?
Also I think I read somewhere that the 6.4 Hemi model will be mated with the new ZF 8AP transmission, but...
