If you like white or blue or the darker red, then I'd say go two tone. If it's silver or black, then I would go with the single color.

Solid Black no chrome....only the wheels and the running boards chrome and the emblems looks the sportiest.

PS Good job on the ram purchase

I would say the two tone tan/brown or bark or whatever it's called. I really like that interior, just didn't go with my color choice.

I had the same experience with the F150 and Ram 1500. I agonized over which one to buy, decided I couldn't go wrong with either truck, especially with the HUGE discounts available right now. Left it up to my wife. Within two minutes of driving the Ram, she turned to me (I was sitting in the back of the Crew Cab to test the ride) and told me she wanted the Ram.
Dodge sales are down about 50% in April. Should be good deals available. I drove a decent but not spectacular deal. My only regret is not pushing the dealer more for the $4,000 of add-on we wanted which went out the door at full price (back-up camera, hard top over the bed, drop in bed liner and running bars). But I got such a nice discount I really didn't mind having the dealership make a few bucks.
Now all I have to do is sell my '00 Tundra....

Same here. I have been a Ford guy for my last three trucks and was agonizing between the new F150 and new Ram. I don't tow very heavy, so having that capability didn't win any points for me with the Ford. But it really came down to the fact I liked the Ram's overall styling (inside and out), performance (with the Hemi), and features more so than the Ford (which is still a very nice truck).

Once decided, I started agonizing over monotone, two-tone, chrome, or no chrome. The features of the Laramie settled going with the chrome, and once I saw the Inferno Red two tone, with tan interior, I was sold.

Here's mine:

Rear view cameras appear to be in VERY short supply. My dealer finally found one on the East Coast but had to buy it. Promised arrival is next week. We'll see. Another dealer said to have one but it was "broken" so he couldn't send it. I think I'm lucky to have found one. Dealer will install for payment of my first born child. But at least it'll be under warrantee.

I have followed other threads in which the TV was said to be rather easy to install but since I not mechanically inclined I'll pay.
