So after years of research and going back and forth between all the half tons I finally bought my first pick up truck today.

When I saw that the 17's had changed the grill to a giant RAM across the front I found a left over 16 with only 13 miles on it and tonight she is in my driveway.

I have a Laramie Longhorn CC 4X4 silver with cattle interior with NO filigree.

I don't think I have driven around with a smile on my face since I was a teenager.

I don't think I'll be do many mods other than a tonneau cover and perhaps the pedal commander everyone seems to rave about.

Love this forum, I have learned so much from lurking for years.

Anyway, happy to be part of the RAM family.

Yep, silver or the official name of:
Bright Silver Metallic Clear Coat

Was hoping for a two tone, but had to have chrome bumpers and apparently those things cannot be had together.

Same. The giant "RAM" lettering they are doing now looks silly to me. Both on the grill and the tailgate. Just seems like it is trying too hard to get noticed.

Thanks for all the responses.

Had another day off and spent most of it cleaning it the way the dealer never would. Spent a lot of time customizing the EVIC and the Uconnect and am amazed at the information available to the user.
