You guys have any preference between a 2017 Ram 3500 w/Aisin Transmission and a like specced 2019? Are there any pitfalls to avoid with either of those years?
 
2019 will have upped the ante with the new CGI block HO rated at 1,000 lb.ft

The 4.5 Gen has bigger frame, brakes, and a new skin (same cab). The 19 HO will have a 12" 3.73 rear axle.

The 2019 should have had the Y78 HPFP recall completed (replace the failure prone CP4.2 with a redesigned CP3).
 
For SRW’s the 19 also has 3.73’s vs 3.42, a plus for towing and I haven’t seen a hit on fuel economy.

The 17 won’t have AA or CarPlay, but the 19 does.

I personally would pick the 19. That’s having had both an 18 and now a 22.
