I am looking at ordering a 2022 RAM 1500. I came across the 10th Anniversary Limted Edition and like the looks of it. According to the various websites I have seen it is supposed to come in the Blue Shade and that theat color is exclusive to the anniversary edition. However when I went through the build process at two different dealers only the standard colors were available. Anyone have any ideas what will happen if I order it in a standard color?
You've come to the right place. I (and many others on this site) have already placed orders for MY22 10th Anniversary Limited trucks. I want to say that overall the truck is beautiful and classy. I also want to say I've already been very vocal about Ram's poor choice to put a considerable amount of CLOTH inserts into the seats that were previously 100% leather. Do a search for other content I've posted and you'll find plenty of pictures.
As for Blue Shade, there is NO information about it other than it will exist supposedly. Stellantis and RAM have posted in media releases repeatedly that color will be available and exclusive to the Limited 10th Anniversary. I personally was not able to even try to order it as my work requires a "neutral" color palette, but many others on here wanted that color and still have not been able to choose it during their builds and/or see what it looks like.
I know for fact the Limited 10th shown in all the marketing photos and on display at the Chicago Auto Show was built with Patriot Blue and not Blue Shade as I've looked up the build sheet for the truck.
Unless Patriot Blue is automatically "upgraded" to Blue Shade on the orders placed already it is still a mystery. I'd be surprised if that was done because if a customer didn't like the color they'd be stuck. I wish RAM would release color swatches and photos of the truck in this new color for us all to view.
