And to chime in on color options. Yes, when clean Black is the best, hands down. After 5 minutes, not so much. I love the Hydro Blue, but love the red/black interior more and did not want to have the Superman color scheme. Nor did I want the Flame Red to take away from the red interior. Delmonico would be good as well, but rejected for the same reason as Flame Red. I am not into silver or white cars, since they are everywhere. So Granite it was.

@LGB24 - I can understand the desire to move on to a 2nd order b/c of the bad taste with the 1st and remember that's our situation too. Additionally, our 1st order was at MSRP but our 2nd was for a more expensive version at a lower cost because we learned about the FFP pricing from this forum so that was another reason for a 2nd order. We're expecting our truck to arrive at dealer this week and if so that will be approx 8 weeks from order to delivery. Maybe that info helps you feel more comfortable placing a 2nd order.

As for the color - I love black but it does show dirt. I love the granite too - its tough. The red really pops when u see it in person. But we went with ivory because we liked the combo of that color with the Longhorn saddle interior - at least that's what I tell myself. The truth is we chose Ivory because that's the color my wife wanted - haha!.

My 20 was Granite. Liked it at first, but all the sudden 3 out of 4 near me are Granite. I wish Maximum steel was still available. My new order will be Patriot, because it's not that common near me.

the predrilled holes suck. there is a guy on one of the forums here that sells color matching plugs for those holes for like $30. i ordered mine a couple days a ago but haven’t got them yet so can’t vouch for it but others seem happy with them.

Thank you so much for the information!! Went to Amazon found a set of 4 to fit Ram for 7 bucks free shipping to include tax as a Prime member. Never knew any one had these on Mkt. for sale ready to go.

I would’ve done flame red but my Silverado was “Red Hot” and I didn’t want the same color vehicle. So I went bright blue.

You guys won't believe what just showed up at the dealer...
I am intrigued as to how it got there so quickly when your last status update from the dealer around 3/9 was that it hadn't shipped yet. If it got the same train as mine on 3/11, wonder if I'll get the call tomorrow that my truck is also there 🤔

My shipped date is TBD, the ETA is TBD, and the dealer’s system showed it as in Ohio. Yet, here it is!
