Default About to order my Ram

So here's the truck I'm about to order. Any comments or suggestions on my options or color would be much appreciated.

Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie 4x2 Mineral Gray/Light Graystone two tone

Options
-RamBox (love it)
-3.92 Axel Ratio
-32 Gallon Fuel Tank
-Leather Bucket Seats
-Class IV reciever hitch
-Rear backup camera
-power sunroof
-uconnect gps system
-uconnect video entertainment system (for my daughter)

-$36,540 (about $12,000 off msrp) In orange county CA.

The only thing I'm having a hard time deciding on is what interior color to get. Beige or dark slate grey. I'm leaning toward the dark slate grey, but i've never had black interior and i'm kind of worried about it getting too hot. I'm going back tomorrow to look at the colors again.

Thanks.
-David

Yea you're right. It'll be 2 months until i get it. So who knows what will happen by then. I have a feeling that the Italian fiat ceo is going to take over, they will restructure, and hopefully turn around the company.

I would go with the slate on the mineral gray exterior as well. I have had an 03 and 05 in those combinations and really enjoyed them. I have the other interior, but my truck is inferno red.

I think it sounds like a hell of a truck, I bought the same thing in Black and without the rear dvd system, I do have kids, and my wife has all that in her Honda, but figured I did not need it all.

I ended up changing the order to 4X4 and dropping the DVD system to help out with the cost. I felt that I would be kicking myself in the *** for years for not getting the 4X4. I figure my daughter can just use a lap DVD system. Ended up going with the dark slate grey as well.

Ended up being $38,360. -12k off MSRP

You have a 115 V plug on the dash so your daughter can plug her portable player or I am guessing you have the Nav system, you can get lock pick and watch the movies on the screen up front, just be careful probably iillegal in some states LOL..more like all.
