I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie and When I stop and get out I hit the inside door lock switch to lock the doors than as soon as I shut the door the truck honks 3 times and unlocks the doors. I took this ti a mechanic and after looking for issues said it was normal and I was supposed to use the fob or the button on the outside handle. My gen 4 ram didn't do this and It doesn't make sense why they would make it this way. I can see it doing this if I left the key fob inside but not all the time. Is this guy just making this up and there is an issue or is it just because he cant figure it out. Kept my truck several days before telling me this.

That's how I get out and lock my truck most of the time, so no, not normal. It thinks your fob is still in the vehicle for some reason.

Did you by this truck used? There might be a key fob hidden inside the truck from previous owner.
