Wow I like it. I have been in my buddy’s new F150 King Ranch and by the video I like the Ram better. When are the new designs coming for the HD Rams?

New Ram HD's are coming out next year as a 2020 model.

The new HD generation launch has been a moving target. He is a post from a dealer I found on the Cummins forum;

"So... Corporate was here yesterday. This is what I was told...

In January the "reveal" will be a 19 with a "refresh". It will not be a 20 model. There were exactly zero details on the new sheet metal past that. There are other internal communications that say the same thing. A "complete" redesign looks like it's on hold.

I am reading between the lines and taking conversations I have had with several people including the national Ram manager. I think the light duty redesign has been met with lackluster enthusiasm and that has caused them to put the brakes on the HD sheet metal. This is purely my speculation.

They also said yesterday that ALL the HD production is scheduled to move to Detroit in June next year. I'm left scratching my head at the wisdom of trying to pull off the logistics of that move all at once. That is what I was told but I remain skeptical.

With the current ordering and production schedule for the 18s and 19s I think we are going to see inventory issues until at least this time next year.

I am still being told there are going to be engine changes. I have no idea what that means. Cummins isn't that far away and I sell a good many to the people there. But they are as tight lipped as a pharmaceutical company doing research on a new drug to cure cancer.

I am still digging to find information. In the mean time I am ordering 18s hoping my inventory lasts until May of next year...."
