Truck Bed difference

Gave it a search, but didn’t find anything. Found a great deal on a LEER topper. According to the chart it‘s not the right one for my truck, seems so close though. Just wondering if anyone had taken the chance with something like this.

My truck: 2021 1500 5’7” (non ram box) bed - Need a LEER 64DR19

Topper on a 2015 1500 5’7” (non ram box) bed - Has a LEER 64DR09

Roll the dice? Thanks!

Just take your truck, and try setting it on. I haven't looked at it for a Ram, but I had to do this for a Chevy once. Some had big differences. and some had just a different trim at the bottom, so it looked different, but would still fit.

One thing to consider is that the 4th beds are tapered: the distance between the inside rails near the tailgate is shorter than the distance at the cab. That’s not the case on the 5th Gens, so maybe that would be an issue?

The 5th gen has higher bed rails than the 4th gen so the topper will 'fit' but will likely be about 1" taller than the truck cab.
