DS (4th Generation)
2009–2018 · DS · truck
Fourth-gen Ram 1500 (chassis DS, 2009-2018) is the truck that ditched the leaf-spring rear for a coil-link setup and introduced optional 4-corner air suspension on Laramie+ trims. Engines: 3.6L Pentastar V6, 4.7L V8 (early), 5.7L Hemi V8 with MDS cylinder deactivation, and the short-lived 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 (2014-2018, the diesel-emissions settlement years). Sold concurrently as the 'Ram 1500 Classic' from 2019 on alongside the new DT body.
Watch out: 5.7L Hemi MDS lifter failure — collapsed lifter on a deactivated cylinder destroys the camshaft. ~$3,000-$6,000 cam-and-lifters job. Common past 100k. Many owners disable MDS via tuner as preventive maintenance.

DT (5th Generation)
2019–2025 · DT · truck
Fifth-gen Ram 1500 (chassis DT) launched 2019 with a fully new body, an optional 12-inch portrait Uconnect screen, and eTorque 48V mild-hybrid on the 3.6L Pentastar and 5.7L Hemi. The 702hp 6.2L Hellcat-powered TRX arrived 2021. EcoDiesel returned 2020-2023 then was killed. The DS body continued in parallel as 'Ram 1500 Classic' for fleet/value buyers.
Watch out: 5.7L Hemi MDS lifter failure carries over from the DS. eTorque battery (under rear seat) is a $2,500+ replacement when it fails. Early-build (2019-2020) uConnect 5 head units brick on update.

DJ (4th Generation HD)
2010–2018 · DJ · pickup
DJ/D2 chassis HD pickups added to the Ram lineup for 2010 (alongside the DS 1500). Engines: 5.7L HEMI V8 (383hp) on 2500, 6.4L HEMI V8 (410hp) on 2500/3500 from 2014, and the Cummins 6.7L turbodiesel inline-six (350-385hp, 800-930 lb-ft of torque depending on year). The 2013+ Cummins 6.7L upgraded to 850 lb-ft and eventually 930 lb-ft. Solid front axle on all models. Chassis cab variants (4500/5500) extended the range up to 19,500-lb GVWR.
Watch out: Cummins 6.7L emissions hardware — the EGR cooler, DPF, DEF system, and Bosch CP3 (and later CP4) high-pressure fuel pump are all documented failure points. The CP4 pump failure (2019+ trucks) can grenade and contaminate the entire fuel system; CP3 trucks (2010-2018) are the smarter buy for the long haul. HEMI trucks share the family-wide MDS lifter risk.

DT (5th Generation HD)
2019–2026 · DT · pickup
Redesigned for 2019 alongside the DT 1500. Engines: 6.4L HEMI V8 (410hp) standard, plus three Cummins 6.7L turbodiesel inline-six tunes — Standard Output (370hp/850 lb-ft), High Output (400hp/1,000 lb-ft), and from 2021 the 3500 HO at 420hp/1,075 lb-ft (the highest torque rating of any production pickup). Massive interior tech overhaul including the 12-inch portrait touchscreen. Chassis-cab 4500/5500 variants continue.
Watch out: Bosch CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump failure on Cummins-equipped trucks — when the CP4 fails, it sends metal debris through the entire fuel system, requiring a $10-15k repair (injectors, lines, tank, pump). A class-action settlement covered some affected trucks. HEMI 6.4L cars share the family-wide MDS lifter failure. Aftermarket S&S CP3 conversion kits are common owner upgrades on diesel trucks.
