I know the difference between 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th, but what’s the difference between 4th and 5th?

Facelift and new interior. Different engine.
I’m sure there’s other stuff too but those are the major things I know of.

There is no 5th gen HD yet.

The current platform has been designated DJ/D2 since introduction in 2009 and is still... DJ/D2.

When FCA changes it to the next platform code (DK/D3 ?), it will be a 5th Gen.

Lots of updates, mostly cosmetic except for the Cummins CGI and minor updates to current trans, some frame parts, some will say less than the 2013 update.

  • GCI block and internals, hydraulic lifters, hollow cam, etc.
  • Uprated frame (new parts)
    • New radius arms
    • New rear axles (11.5" and 12")
    • New rear box section (IIRC only 3500)
  • Updated 68rfe valve body
  • 2021 got an updated Aisin (bigger input shaft for the 1075 lb.ft)
  • New (aluminum) hood
  • New grille (more cooling) larger radiator
  • New bumper
  • New front fenders
  • New head lights
  • New tail lights
  • New tailgate
  • New interior pasted over the same old cab
    • Same seat frames, NOT 5th gen frames
    • Same hump in the floor
    • Same size (5th gen cab is longer)
