I went to the Houston Auto Show in January and they had a white Longhorn with the Black/New Saddle interior. (They still list it as Cattle Tan on Ram.com.) I probably would never have given it a second look on website/brochure but I instantly fell in love with it! The wood had a nice grain and was a lighter color and the "cattle tan" was a very attractive darker tan with subtle hints of burnt orange. I had 99% decided this was what I was going with. I took a bunch of photos and here is the door panel (best comparison shot):
Now I know this was a pre-production model and should be taken as such and I also know that this was an indoor photo and the one below was taken outdoors, but the differences are stark. A few days ago a local dealer got in a black Longhorn with the production Black/New Saddle. The instant he opened the door my heart sank. That was not the color I fell in love with - it was more of a "burnt terra cotta."
I was aghast at how much it had changed between the auto show and production, especially since this is not a new color having been used in previous years. This had much more red in it and I instantly knew I was not going with this combo so back to black I go.
Also, it's not the camera. Some shots look lighter or darker but in person it was shocking.
Just wanted to pass along the info and pics for anyone else interested.
