If the dealer told you this, it must be true.

Many options out there. The "classic" TDs were not widely available for the 09 and newer frame until about last year. Now there are options. Rinehart, Freedom Performance, MGS and others make a traditional TD set up for the new frames now.

Your dealer sounds like my dealer. If HD doesn't make it, it doesn't exist. LOL.
