Well the overwhelming majority on here will say black (Damn Kids!!!) but the truth is, either will look good on a red truck. Although with black, you can paint many components without having to replace them.

I started going black, but after only the nerfs and toolbox were bought, I sold them & reversed it and started getting everything in stainless steel...


and let me be the first to say it:

Welcome to DF AND:

A red/black or black/red theme seem to work on folks that have a red truck. One of my fav rams is a Red lifted 2WD that has black touches done through the truck. Looks pretty tight. It comes down to personal taste really.

I've never been a fan of chrome, but I have to agree on a red truck chrome/stainless steel is the way to go.
