Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest model pairs a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque at 305 hp and 271 lb-ft, while the Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six delivers 420 hp and 469 lb-ft, and the high-output version reaches 540 hp and 521 lb-ft.
• Tech: Ram’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 10.25-inch passenger screen, and an optional full-color head-up display.
• Safety: The latest model adds Evasive Steer Assist, Intersection Collision Warning, and traffic sign recognition on the Tungsten grade.

If you're buying used today, the 2019 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
