Billet Silver vs White vs Tri-cot Ivory Pros and Cons

[GOATram]

Trying to decide between these colors. Which is your favorite and why? Hard decisions.. your opinions appreciated.

I had this same dilemma although in the Laramie trim, if you want white, you have to go with the Tricoat Ivory. I went back and forth numerous times. My wife liked the white/ivory better so I went with it. I am very happy. Here is a pic that may help, it has my truck and a silver limited together.

You can't go wrong with either!

P.S. I just got it last night.

My last Ram was white and my car is black so I wanted a blend so to speak. So I went with Billet silver and am happy. To me no matter which of those colors you choose, you can not go wrong.

The only thing I have heard about the Ivory is if your in an accident it’s hard for them to match up that pearl.

Any of the pearl tri-coat type paints are difficult to match when fixes have to be done.

That even extends to touching up stonechips.

I prefer the white over the tri-coat pearls just for it's easy fixing and bright white pop.

My wife loves the white pearl tri-coats and has had them on several vehicles. They do look really nice.

i got the Billet silver due to the general cleanliness it has. road dirt shows quick on Black and White so i chose the Silver Billet Metallica. i have ordered the black hood decals also to rock a little more black on it. I think with the two tone 22" wheels it will rock.

Billet silver seems to be very popular, too popular for my taste. I ordered the tri color ivory since ram has not offered it the last few years. I think the GMCs with the tri color are sharp so I figured the Ram would be dazzling. Any of the 3 stay looking clean longer than a dark color.

The tri-coat ivory with walnut secondary color is what has me drooling. The cap I have now is already the walnut.

THe white is a blank canvas for adding graphics and such but it's just so ... white. Almost uninteresting, IMHO.

The silver has some depth to it and will appear cleaner longer.

Pearls suck if you have to repair the body as matching them is hard to do and you'll end up arguing with the body shop over a mismatch and they'll just shrug and say, "It's too hard to match up the older pearl with new pearl. Let it sit in the sun and you won't even notice it next year." Been there, done that.

Good luck with your choice.

I am in the process of negotiating a deal on a Billet Silver Laramie. It is missing the side steps and bedliner. The truck looks exactly like this.

 

[DRkNESS]

So I still don’t have the bedliner in mine lol, but I do have a tonneau cover. Before I could even bring it home, I had to have side steps added since my wife is only 5’1”. Then adding that Mopar 2” lift didn’t help any.

I have owned many white cars & trucks. It is the easiest to keep clean and hides swirls very well. Side benefit is it is a very safe color as well.

Good luck!

P.S. i bought a 2019 in flame red as I could not find the Laramie I wanted in white...still very happy so far.

I could not get past the Ivory try coat. As far as getting paint work to match, a good body shop should be able to do it. I had a bad scratch in my platinum tri coat on my ford fixed and it is undetectable.

does anyone know how many coats of clear and or paint on these colors? Has it improved from the 4th gen

 

[TruckNut]

Looked at the 19’s and the paint looked good. Better than it’s been and hopefully more consistent. I think Ford still has a lock on the best paint.

Whatever looks best to you. I prefer the plain bright white if it was me, but all 3 colours look good to me.
