I have taken several trips through 5 states and I have only seen 1 2019.
 
I'm up to almost a dozen seen in Texas, including a granite Limited about 30 minutes ago in Fort Worth. I see a BUNCH of them on dealer lots, but they're still very rare on the road.
 
I've been in San Diego for two weeks, I live in southern Maryland and I grove to the end of Long Island NY and back to Maryland and I've not seen ONE 2019 Ram on the street. Not a single one.
 
I have seen 6 on the road in the last month within 40 miles or so of my home in North Central Indiana. No Limiteds or Longhorns other than mine. I am not to far from the Kokomo Indiana Chrysler Transmission Plant so lots of employees around here. It’s a wonder I haven’t seen more. Quite a few on dealer lots here also.

I passed another 19’ leaving work the other day instead of the “Jeep Wave” I got a “RAM wave” and reciprocated.
 
I've seen 1 lawn mowing company actually trailering equipment with one, and no others in the central Kentucky region. But I've had mine for 6 weeks and only 1 person has came up to me and asked about it. So maybe these trucks are lurking but so stealth you dont evenIMG_0721.jpg notice you saw it? haha. I just got back from a week in Naples and finally found one in the wild at the Naples Beach and Golf resort....unfortunately thats my Nissan rental next to it...
 
I've seen two in the Indianapolis area aside from mine in the past month. I know my dealer has at least sold a few others.

Just got back from a trip to the UP of MI and didn't see one at all during the trip.
 
I've seen 1 other in the northwestern PA/northeast Ohio. Some people shy away from 1st year models, others wait for better rebates and lower interest rates.

I have yet to see one in the lower peninsula of Michigan, I would think being so close to the production plant I would see a few on highway, guess not......
 
I've seen about 5 or 6 here on the roads in Vancouver, B.C so far. Considering I work nights and sleep during the day I figure thats not bad lol.
 
friday as i was getting my new ram, there was 2 other people getting their ordered rams. another limited and a longhorn ( which by the way had the black and new saddle interior and it looked real good! not orange ). this morning as i was walking my dog in town the guy with the limited who i met yesterday at the dealer drove pass and beeped at me. believe me around here they are around. later as i was ready to go in the barber shop to get my haircut a guy came up to me and was very interested in my limited....... guys who are waiting for their orders to come in wait, it will be well worth it.
 
I’m in Phoenix and have see 1 on the freeway over the last month or two. The closest RAM dealer to me told me they have 86 spaces on their lot and 97 in stock. Hope they start moving. Love the look of these new 2019’s!

Local dealer has same Limited sitting in showroom since I ordered mine on May 7th. Makes you wonder.
 
I've seen three if I count my own.

My 1st year model thoughts;
Uconnect - not new tech just new model, had a 8.4 in my 2012 charger
Electric Steering / Lane assist - not new tech, had in my 2014 Cherokee
Blind spot, adaptive cruise, air suspension, auto high beams, rain sense wipers - not new had of these in my 2015 Grand Cherokee
5.7 Hemi and the 8 speed trans - not new
Stop/Start - not a fan from a mechanical perspective, had a rental f150 for a month and it kicked in 9 times on my way to lunch one day. Talk about wear and tear. Bought my Ram while I still could without it.
ETourque - new and not touching it

I’ve been asked a couple of times about my 5th gen limited being a first year and my response is;
Mine has nothing new, it is just the first time they put all the bells and whistles I’ve had in my last 3 vehicles into a truck!
 
Seen 1 other here on the road ... get a bunch of stares going down the road... the 2 times I have filled up --had people look at it while i was getting gas
 
I am in Massachusetts and I have not seen one on the road yet. The dealer closest to me has 29 in stock and nothing seems to be moving.
