My local dealer has 3 orange, one sold already and other dealers in the area all have at least one orange Ram on their lot... but not a single one has a blacked out Ram... so is that 1000 of each for real?

What are you guys seeing on your local lots? Where are the blacked out Sports going?

I posted this elsewhere... i have a hard time believing there's only 1000 orange ones cuz same in my city, 3 dealers each have an orange, 1 of them has 2. Plus i've seen 2 driving around.

And I dont even get the blackout package.. it just looks like a black-out express... who cares.

For sure, but I'm saying it doesn't have the holy sh*t factor the orange ones do. Every time i see another black sport on the road I chuckle to myself n think "we're so original"

I'm already de-badged, so If I took my plastic chrome grille inserts out and threw on some black rims, presto, black pkg...

Now Hellcat Challengers are a rarity... dealers can't seem to get those at all... at least with manual transmission...

When I bought my ram, my dealership had 6 blackouts on the lot and I have seen 3 different ones on the road.

Express or Sport models? Maybe orange is going north and black is going south...

I've been saying this far a while.

My local dealer has 3 Ignition Orange Rams and I live in Louisiana and we seem to never get the good cars. And if there is one. IT'S ONLY ONE.. haha

My local dealer has 2 of the orange Sports and they had 1 black package Sport. One orange Sport has been on their lot for over a month, the second arrived a couple of weeks after the first. Both orange Sports are still available. The black Sport arrived about a week ago and sold pretty much immediately.

The dealer where I bought my truck had close to 10 blackout package rams on the lot, they are everywhere.

Agreed. Although, I am personally not a fan of the orange, they do have a huge "originality" or "rarity" factor that a blacked out truck doesn't. Everyone from F-150 owners, to Silverado owners is blacking out their truck. If I don't see a dozen blacked out trucks a day, I am surprised.

The Orange Sport on the lot I was at had been sitting for over a month as well in the lobby. It is a loud color and it isn't for everyone.

There is 2 ignition orange sitting here in small town Saskatchewan besides the one already rolling in town so I am thinking there is more than 1000 out there.

I pulled this from the other forum site. Let me be the first to say "I told you so..." I mentioned that someone was going to do something silly like this when the color was first released. :disgust:


I took my truck in for an inspection at my dealer last week and they had one on the lot. I chatted up with my saleslady on it and she had an interesting comment about the orange. She actually thought the color looks better on a Jeep Wrangler (I agree) and that most customers have told her that it is a nice color but they think they would get tired of it after the first year or so. Since the dealer is down the street from a Harley Davidson shop, they get motorcycle guys stopping to take a look at the truck all the time since they think it is "Harley Orange" or something.

Definately more than 1000 out there. I'm certain of it. Heck, I've seen 5 different ones in my area.

Black-outs are waaaayyyyy over-played. Ya see more of them than fart cars,,,,,,

Orange? Not 'feeling it' any more than Lime green,,,

IMHO, it's absolutely possible to be 'clean/unique/authentic' without looking like a clone,,, or a clown,,,,,

I agree, there has to be... Like I said, my dealer (on an island) sold one, has 2 on the lot and has a 4th coming... no Black Ram Sport Packages coming though... other dealers in the province, same thing... all orange... no black... there are a couple Express models though... just not Sport versions... very stranger the allotment...

Selcher, I am in Barrie and the dealer had 4 Ignition Orange trucks on the lot, lucky me I got the first one...

I am thinking there is probably way more than the 1000 they are claiming

I have an ignition orange sport and I also think they fed me the bs gotta be more than 1000 out there. At least I got one with the 3.92 seems like almost everything that's not a diesel up here is 3.21. I will admit I can see getting sick of it though especially since I almost always end up with black. Nobody up here has seen a blackout sport lots of expresses. One thing I feel they should have done was put black wheels on the orange truck ugh
