Wow! Love it! I can't wait to get to work on my truck. If I could just get a build date now. 😠 It's so hard to wait. I'm NOT good at it. Thanks for the link.

😆 me neither, I hate waiting! I’m waiting for a few things myself and have no idea yet the release date or price. 🫠

I voted Granite, but my previous truck was silver and I only washed it in the spring to remove the winter grime and yet it never really looked dirty. Though when I did wash it, it looked amazing.

I went in to order a silver BackCountry, but drove off in a white Rebel.

My granite two tone. Cousin has a black night edition. Both look great, I’m partial to the granite, the black is tough to beat after a fresh wash D5EAAD02-A641-4321-9072-4165EEC03153.jpeg

I like black its my favorite color, I had a black Saturn sc2 that gave out after 19 years, I washed and waxed it through the years, everything shows up on black; dings, swirls if not waxed and buffed, scratches from shopping cart, people letting the wind catch the door, people that can't park, ect... One thing to mention is that all cars/trucks nowadays barely have paint, it is so thin and easily chips away, I noticed this when checking 2020-2022 used trucks... F150 and the Ram as well. The front bumper/ grill area had many / 100's of tiny white specs (missing paint) from rock chips and road debris. Paint on vehicles is not like the days of the Black Pontiac Firebird WS6, it's so thin and offers little to no protection which is sad for what prices are. Back in the day I never heard of ppf/ paint protection film, it was wax on, wax off. I baby my vehicles and my 3 cars from the 90's all have original factory paint. I replaced my black 2002 Saturn with the 2022 Ram 1500 Big horn, crystal granite; it came as a sports edition with chrome but I changed the front lights to night edition and rear to led and programmed them, factory rims from offerup, pedal commander, mudflaps ect... When I ordered, dealer said night edition was not able to be ordered at the time and would have to wait so I settled for sport/chrome due to invoice pricing. I now like the mix with black and chrome. I do baby my Ram as well because these new vehicles are made cheap and the metal is so thin which is why I love permanent sidesteps and not retractable to prevent door dings from people. I think it depends how the vehicle is taken care of/ work parking lot ect.. If I had a black Ram it would drive my eyes crazy because I notice everything and I plan to keep this truck forever like my other vehicles. Glad I went with crystal granite, next choice was patriot blue or delmonico red but I wanted a color that wouldn't rust easily, show dirt and defects, and something I wouldn't have to spend every week washing and waxing for the 20 years I plan to keep it. A vehicle is a huge investment, choose your color wisely!!! 20220604_091847_1654426005310~2.jpg 20220616_162152~3.jpg 20220613_091758~2.jpg 20220605_204107.jpg 20220828_153738.jpg 20221212_102506~2-1.jpg 20230109_140323~2.jpg 20230109_140416-1.jpg 20230109_140258~2.jpg 20230104_042052-1.png

I ordered the exact same truck as you but 2023. Same granite two-tone color, GT, Ramboxes, etc. How do you like the exhaust? Is it all it's cracked up to be? I've never seen a GT on the road.

Exhaust is excellent, unless you want to hear it from inside the cab, because with the windows up you can’t even notice it while cruising. Outside it sounds excellent, and cold starts sounds great. 0 drone is fun to have. Didn’t realize how much I missed resting my hand on the shifter till got it back with this truck 😂.

You’ll get the digital cluster which seems like it’s pretty nice
