Im partial to my flame red big horn. Put a coat of 100% carnauba wax on her the other day, 2 hours spent doing it, and the truck looks like you can swim in it.
I agree! Everybody has the color truck that "floats their boat!" My last Ram was charcoal gray and previous Ford was black. Both were gorgeous trucks. Wanted to do a different color and flame red is the color that makes the Rebel pop. People tend to notice it when on road.

It's called Granite Crystal Metallic and it's gorgeous!! Hahahaha. See, I don't care for white. It's all personal preference. It was down to a Delmonico red one and the one I ended up with. The red one was sharp, but it had chrome bumpers, ultimately color matched won out. I actually don't mind the chrome bumpers, it's the chrome grills I don't care for.

Easy to fix:

Delmonico Red would be my choice. I ended up with Billet Silver Metallic because I was going quad cab( hard to find). I'm normally not a silver guy because most times it's more of a boring "flat" silver. Billet Silver Metallic really pops in the sun with tons of flake. Best / richest silver I have seen.
I like it.

Here in my area, black is crazy popular, and as you can see from my pic, I have a black one. I was not looking for black, but I had 2 criteria that were mandatory for me on the new body. First, it had to be painted front end and bumpers (not a fan of the chrome nose on these new trucks) and second, 3.92 gears were mandatory. This was the only truck on the entire lot that hit both criteria, and the only one with 3.92 gears. Whoever does their ordering just orders 3.21 gears, and I refuse to own one of those.

I see a lot of white Rams driving around here. Next popular would be black...but I don't understand why.

...but really, they're all Delmonico Red underneath. :p

Ordering managers follow their preferred 'recipe' for a truck. I would find multiples with the same configurations at each dealership. I just had to locate the dealership that was ordering something that I wanted...without tow mirrors.
