...at least for a little bit. I swear every dealer in my area only have black and red. I would say 50% of the inventory is black and another 25% delmonico red. Patriot blue is a beautiful color, and I actually like the rugged brown. How about we make a nice run of those colors. Thanks #ramcares @RamCares

Yeah but we all know Delmonico Red's are faster...

Limited color selection for the Limited trim was one of the disappointments when I was shopping for my 1500 - that and the $100 upcharge for any paint regardless of color. I ended up choosing Delmonico Red as the lesser of all evils.

I was close to buying a Delmonico red one, but it had a few options I didn't want/want unless they were free, so I looked at other models. That's how I ended up with Maximum Steel, which I really like and which had options I did want (North package). So I dig the color but I will say Delmonico red is a really nice color as well.

Black looks awesome on a truck but it's a pain in the *** to keep clean and hide scratches. I have had 2 black trucks and both always looked awesome for 5 minutes.

White always looks dirty and like a fleet truck. I look at white trucks all day long at work.

I'm glad you don't see colors like orange or lime green running around. It makes the truck line look foo foo and like a joke.

My 2014 Sport was Ruby Red. I loved the color and was going to get a Delmonico Red Laramie w/sport package but, it had the 22" wheelz. I just don't like the 22" wheel as much as the 20" sport package wheel.

I ended up going with the Granite Crystal. I think I could have been happy with any of the colors. Just no black or white.

That was me as well. The one I was looking at had 22" wheels for $1500 and the sunroof for $1500. I didn't like the wheels, and I don't want to buy 22" tires down the road either. And all holes in a roof eventually leak, drains or not. And I have a convertible for when I want to see the sun, which as a melanoma survivor isn't all that often ;)

Well guys there is no "black and white". Once you get close and really look at the paint you find it is amazing. Amazingly deep. Amazingly beautiful. All the colors are very deep and beautiful. I loved the blue but I did not feel it adequately matched my saddle black interior which is amazing. That being said the current obsession with blacked out flatted out down coded colors is so European....and in my opinion the Europeans always have their head up their butt....just look what they think is good with dress jackets (suits) Too small by a third and only the middle button buttoned with the threat it could pop any minute. Only works for skinny little worms which American men are not.

I did just a quick wash yesterday and used Turtle Wax Wax & Dry spray on, and man does it pop! I can see why Granite Crystal is so popular! Looks real good when it’s clean, but like black, it shows dirt real quick. It’s raining today, so in the garage it will stay!

Sure doesn't seem like any of the dealers are ordering Patriot Blue, Forrest Green, or Rugged Brown. I have yet to see one on a dealer lot.
