AA19 3/7 and 3/14 showing different aircraft types
I am booking AA19 on 3/7 and 3/14 to travel DFW-MIA. When searching, the flight shows it is a 777, but the seat map is of a PMUS A321. Once putting the flight on hold, the aircraft type shows as a 32B, which should be a PMAA A321.
What aircraft type should I expect on this flight?

I do have to ask why does AA seem to fly 777 and 767s with regularity between MIA and DFW. MIA/LAX which is a premium route only gets a 777 once a day. However MIA/DFW gets multiple 777/767s most days. Add in that DFW/LAX has at least one 777 a day and sometimes 2 777s and with regularity a 788/9 and it seems to make more sense to connect via DFW when flying MIA-LAX. Fares are lower, get widebodies for both segments, and in some cases only add about 1.5 hours in transit time.
