So, long story short, we traded in our True Blue 2013 Ram Express hemi with 183,000 miles for a brand new Delmonico Red 2019 Ram Express Classic hemi. This was and is my wifes baby. Even after the need to replace the cam and lifters in her old hemi we bought another one, simply because the 2013 was so reliable. Until the cam issue, it had never been in the shop except to address the different recalls. We've been looking at the new Rams and the Chevy and Fords but it kept coming back to the fact that we still love the looks of Classic Express better than any other truck we've seen. And the hemi was a no-brainer. So we now have a brand new truck that's just like our old truck and we couldn't be happier.

Congrats, your definitely no fool. My last 3 out of 4 vehicles were Ram's. And the one that wasn't still had a Hemi in it. (Jeep GC).

I love the 4th gen body style with the Express trim. To me, color matched is the way to go. That's why I drive a Classic Express as well.

Now, let's see some pics.

I'm not a long term Ram 1500 owner having only been afflicted since 2018, but I'm already on my second 4th gen. I traded my beloved 2017 1500 express quad cab 4x4 pentastar, for my new to me 2019 SLT crew cab hemi.

In almost 35yrs of driving and vehicle ownership, this is the only vehicle I've ever repeat bought. That's how much I love them.

You guys are making me feel like a rookie. I've only had 3 Dodge/Rams, a 91 diesel, 05 V-6, and this one.
Prior to my 1st Dodge I also had 2 Chevys, (67 and 89), one Ford (88), and a VW rabbit diesel pickup.
Only one I bought new was the 89 Chevy.

I bought a Delmonico Red Classic last summer. Mine looks like yours except it has the chrome front. My dealer did not have a red one on his lot but did a swap and got me one. Beautiful color!

You're not the only one. I traded off a perfectly good 07 cummins mega cab slt with 148000 and paid for. For a 17 6.4 hemi mega cab Laramie with payments. The 17 is what I always wanted though. Totally blacked out except for the dang chrome running boards. Still not sure why they did that?

This is only pic on my phone the day I brought it home. I've tinted windows and windshield. Also changed to dual exhaust with 5" black tips. Keep hoping to stumble across some black running boards.

Rhino coat your running boards black. They look good.
